I'm hoping I'll be able to make it to this one. I ordered a new damper today and it should be here by Friday, meaning it can go in Friday and hopefully be aligned on Saturday or maybe later Friday evening. I'm hoping everything can come together, especially since there are a fair amount of people in STX and I think my new setup will do pretty well (good alignment, coilovers, harness). We'll see though.

ill be out there, but it looks like im not racing again . im leaning towards my rear rotor being shot, but im still waiting on the part for the ignition.

 

david - i pm'd you about that crx and never heard anything back.

 

got a tracking number for my damper, it's on track for friday.

I think I'll be on street tires this weekend. The hooters are showing too much cords from my heavy brake foot.

This'll be the last autoX with the ol' 87. Next year I'll be upgraded to an 88! Whoohoo!

 

eventually you'll make it to a S5

 

Guess what I will be autocrossing next year??!

Can't wait.....

 

Now that I'd like to see.

 

You free during the 4th heat again, Zach?

Hey Zach mind if I take a good look at your Mazdatrix strut bar Sunday? I am thinking of getting that one or the RB one. (along with a ton of other suspension stuff when I get my taxes back)

 

I will try to get pictures this weekend.

 

C'mon down to VMP sunday, if you get there early there should be some open slots still

 

well, looks like im autoxing this weekend!!! WOOOOOOT WOOOOOOT

just not in my car. my friend is letting me race is 88 bmw 325 IX !! thats right, AWD bitches

should be pretty fun, ive never raced anything but my slow *** rx7.

 

SWEET!! I've wanted to see how an E30 ix would do, take notes.

 

I might be hopping on the awd bandwagon this weekend as well. My friend matt with the silver wrx that runs street mod offered me his car. I'm not sure if I'm gonna take him up on it though.

i drove it on snake road (best 2 mile stretch around that i know of) and it did decent. it handles better than my rx7, and it pulls like a bitch out of the turns. they have the power dist. setup really nice in that car. im trying to buy it, but i have no money...

 

Thats funny, I've downgraded my DD quest to a 89 or 90 325is. Maybe you guys could give me some tips.
I really don't want car payments, but I still want something cool/classic.

Dave, I can't open my hood because there is a lot of top secret stuff under there.
Maybe I'll open it for a couple minutes.

I might be, depends on how long it takes.

 

ok mr. ihavea600hpturbofbthatiswhiteandthatitalkaboutallt hetimebutdontwanttoshowanyoneunderthehood.

 

HA! Try 60 hp.
Speaking of talking all the time, I think my progression in DD decision making is funny, and it's all on here:

And most recently:
$4000 to $20,000 to $10,000 and back to $4000.

 

i bought a motor today. $500 for a 12a with 19k on it, with brand new rotor housing rebuilt by atkins. i started pulling the motor and in about 45 minutes no **** i had it almost ready to come out of the car. im going to put it in the car, and try to sell it with the new motor for ~2k. i want something else. you think thats too much for my car with a 19k mile motor?

 

i just bought donor car for the vert, 87 TII. The vert has been running for awhile but not on the road due to being spoiled after getting used to the power of the 3rd gen. Now driving the NA vert is just depressing so the TII drivetrain should help a bit.

 

i <3 turbo verts. how much was your donor?
