You need to bring that up to Nationals here in Nebraska. I'd like to see what you can do against last years CSP champ since I race against him at all of our regional events and get smoked. Your car is a step or two ahead of mine in set up so far plus I'm sure you're a better driver. I'm not running but I'll be working the event, plus there should be at least half a dozen FD's and maybe a couple FC's. The sprite should be there also. It sounds amazing.

Cool project.

I have a bunch of pictures from the last autocross in this album. A couple of my V8 Volvo as well.

If I could ever figure out how to upload these directly I would do that. Thus far I always fail.

Cool man!! Not sure how to link pictures from Picasso to the forum. I use photobucket and it is REAL easy to link pictures.

Nothing like seeing a Volvo wagon gettin' jiggy with it Heres a pic from Gregs picassa album:



To get the picassa pics to link just hover over the image in picassa and right click
selecting "View image" and then grab the URL that it displays with. Then do the usual
cut and paste for IMG tags in your post. That way they stay on picassa and just
get linked here.

Thanks for the advice on the photos. Looks like I got it!

The Volvo is actually a decent handler once it is in its lean. Stock springs with Bilstiens and IPD Sway Bars. The only time I have problems is quick transitions where all the weight goes from one side to another.

Here is the RX-7 and Volvo. I kind of have a tendancy to slide through a great deal of the course. Somehow I still end up with decent times. I rarely spin or pick up cones. And its just so much fun since I am usually the only one in my class. RX-7 (SSM) Volvo (XP)
