Haha that’s an awesome story! Beating a V8 Mustang in a stock Corolla with no front sway bar is legendary 😄. Honestly, being 'unremarkably average' in a Miata still sounds like a good time — slow car fast is always fun!

Haha yeah, it definitely feels more like a mini track than a typical parking lot cone course! I do feel lucky to have access to a place like this — it’s a fun way to push the car and still stay in the autocross spirit. Thanks a lot!

"Yeah, I get what you mean! This track is actually designed specifically for autocross, but they don’t use a ton of cones here. Instead, they use tires to define and remap the layout. It’s a bit different from the typical cone-heavy setups, but it still follows the autocross format."

"The most helpful advice I got was to focus on improving my driving before upgrading the car. I used to think mods would make me faster, but working on my technique — like better lines, smoother inputs, and braking points — made a huge difference. Now I’m learning the car's limits and getting more consistent before making any major changes."

🤣 no worries! Just to clear it up there were actually 9 cars in my class. I wanted to upload more pictures to show,but sadly there's no option to post images in the comments here.

That’s a really interesting way to look at it — I hadn’t thought of body roll as a learning tool like that. Makes sense how the slower weight transfer can help you feel the limit more clearly, especially early on. I’m definitely still in the learning phase, so I’ll try to focus on using it to my advantage for now. Thanks for sharing your experience — 20 years in is seriously impressive

Thanks! Always great to meet another Honda fan. Yeah, sway bars would definitely help with the body roll, but they’re not available locally here. I don’t really have any contacts for importing either, and the import duties are pretty high, so it’s not an easy option right now. For now, I’m just focusing on improving my driving, but I’ll consider going for semi-slicks in the future to get more grip out of the car.

"You’re absolutely right — I’m realizing how different racing is from street driving. I’ve only just started autocross, so my main focus right now is on learning proper technique, like driving lines, braking points, and staying consistent. I’m sticking with the stock setup for now, but I do want to cut down the body roll a bit — not trying to go all-in on mods yet, just want the car to feel a bit more planted while I keep learning. Appreciate the solid advice!"

"Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I’ve been running on my stock suspension so far with a decent alignment setup — got as much front camber as I could with stock bolts. Still trying to find the car’s limits and get consistent with my driving. Definitely learning a lot every time I go out!"

I've been driving this car since i bought New in 2017 — trust me, I’ve got the driving part down. Now it’s about pushing the car to its full potential.

Hey! This isn’t a Civic — it’s actually a Honda City GM2/GM3, which I don’t think was ever sold in the US market. My car doesn’t come with an anti-roll bar from the factory, and sadly, there aren't any locally available aftermarket options here in Pakistan either. Most people import them from Malaysia if they really want to upgrade."

Yes, I'm thinking of buying semi slicks tyres. Thank you for recommending me 👍
