Yeah it was! I bought some used sports struts and springs to replace the blown out struts the car had, I don’t know if the rear is blown out too but I didn’t change those yet. Its a pretty big pain in the ass to do the rear, the front didn’t go so easily either lol. I still need to replace my 02s and knock sensor.

Looks like alot more room than ECC. I was really torn between Letchworth and autocross. Definitely going to try to make it soon.

I remember wondering if it was an exhaust leak and not the O2 sensors themselves that was causing the fault when I test drove the car. I remember it having a pretty healthy leak when it was cold.

I never really stuck my head under the car to listen for exhaust leaks. I did an oil change yesterday to get ready for this event, it costs $63 to do it myself lol, 8qts fml!

I can’t wait to do some more racing i want to go as much as I can, anyone know when the next event is? Can I race with other clubs?

Ugh tell me about it. When he sold that car I decided to get an M5 instead. Using TWS 10w60 my oil change was 120 in oil and filter.

I broke a freaking sway bar tab on my lf strut and bent both front endlinks today.

Also my tires are smoked and wouldnt hook up for shiz.  
I should have gone to the cruise instead, but i still had fun…
