Jim, I’m going to whip around on race tires today and see if this setup will eat tires or not, (or feel like we’re gunna flip). And that will be the deciding factor if I bring the car or not. The stock shocks with drop springs (mush) might work without hitting the tires due to the fact that it’s not dropped all that much. Plenty of room for the car to squat without hitting the tire I think. I don’t think I’ll get this damn thing to oversteer though?!?!?!?!?! ---

[quote=“sureshot007,post:172,topic:27647"”] So I am officially in need of a codrive I am looking for anything better than my stock wrx with snow tires. In exchange for letting me drive your car, I am offering myself as an instructor! Normally, instructors ride along with you and give you feedback on how you did and suggestions on what to do better next time. In this case, I will do that, as well as, you get to ride with me in your car so you can see/feel what it looks like to hit a ton of cones!!! err…I mean, do it right! There will also be a “special prize” for the person that gives me this honor. Any offers? [/quote] Well I can do exactly that, want to co-drive my stock WRX Wagon on snow tires. :lol: Oh wait you said better. ---

Just to warn everyone, please don’t laugh at the kid with the MR2 with the squeeky alt. belt upon start-up. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out the tensioner on it, and it only squeels for a few seconds upon start-up. But the belt is in good condition. Dirty, but good condition. ---

i went for a little bit. i had a good time. who fucked their STi? i feel bad for that guy. hope it was his car and not co-driving with someone else’s car. i couldn’t really see it but it looked like he bounced his car off the curb or something. even the trunk popped open from the impact. EDIT: whoever drives that orange RSX is fucking nuts. i loved every second of it. ---

Just got home. I am VERY sunburnt. Wrong day to forget sunscreen. As for the driving. TONS of fun was had. TImes improved every single run. I am still adjusting, but getting better each time which is good. I killed 6 cones total for the day. ---
