Ahhh
Yeah let's compare your PAX time to my Emod PAX - sounds fair 
About Saturday.
After 2 hours of driving to get there, we arrived to find ~9 cars in the lot and no cones. The person that sets up the insurance had a stroke and apparently no one knew what to do in time to set it up, so they cancelled it.
I did, however score some 17x8 motegi tracklite 2 wheels and 2 sets of race tires for 1100.00, So I'm set for the next year on rubber. I'm ordering a RB swaybar set, and Koni's today. I think I'm going to run the stock springs too since the swaybars ought to help the turning spring rate a bit. Any other advice here?

I don't think I was actually 3 wheeling - I think the refraction makes it look more drastic.
It was my first time out on R-compounds though, and boy is that a difference. I'm not much for spending money on go-fast, since I'm just a beginner, but $200 for a set of 1/2 used V700 victoracers is too good to pass up. And now that I've hit that crack pipe, no more street tires for me

I had to sell my competition stock rims to finish my rebuild...can wait to pick up a set of race rims and tires!!
Here's a pic from August 13th at the Marina, CA autocross. Stock suspension, and street tires. Lots of lean even with a passenger

All these pics are awesome and just make me more anxious to hit a driving school at Thunderhill next year.
Is it just me or does the FD lean more than the FC? I've got an FC with coilovers and an FD with coilovers, both with aftermarket swaybars and all, and the FD rolls a noticeable amount, while the FC is just flat as a pancake (but hops and skips everywhere). Maybe it's just the valving on the shocks, who knows. All I know is the FD handles a hell of a lot better!

I can't believe how many people own and modify these cars and never see a track.
