HAHAH
I bet it is a pain Billy.
I know a stock one you have to drive onto blocks...
For anyone intereseted. I just signed up for this event, it is 2 feet from my house so what the heck.(possible beers afterwards) I am going to be autocrossing and drifting its only $30.00 so what the hell might as well.
I signed up for the Autocross but I know the guy running it and he says we can make a drift pass or two if we want, no real biggy.
Would be nice to get a good showing just for fun..I am going to SUCK at autocrossing and drifting...For $30.00 that is ALOT of fun to have in yourcar at a SANCTIONED event

AJ - I may be interested in doing this forsure. I will take a look after work and sign up if I can. I have to make sure I dont need anything extra. (IE helmet)
After the weather breaks today and warms up again and the sun comes out. Would anyone be interested in meeting up? Woodward maybe?

You DO need a Helmet
If you want to you can just borrow the one I am bringing.
It is not "sepc'd" to current standards.
It is spec'd to SCCA though so I talked to the guy adn ti will work.
Its a really expensive helmet actually.
You just need something protecting your noggin...god forbid

Oh crap. 'some ticket'? Intriguing. Yeah.. it might be a good idea to take care of that now. sheesh. good luck man.
Build some ramps Billy. Go to Lowes and get some 2x8s and long screws. I made some the other day. Lowes will cut the wood for you too. Cost like $15 total.. if that. Just don't make them so long that they interfere with jack-stand placement.
I need to add one more layer. 8" inbetween should be good.

No alignment check yet.... just got it on the road last Saturday. The alignment seems fine when driving or braking but I'll probably get it checked anyways to make sure everything is in spec.

I was gonna go out, but I opted to stay and paint the wing Billy gave me..
Semi gloss black, stock wing.. should look pretty good once it's done.
Maybe tomorrow will be nice out?
Edit: meant to say Friday.. but it doesn't look like it

I am thinking about doing the install on my part next weekend. Not this weekend it looks crappy. So for anyone interested, let me know. I am still working on trying to get use of a lift.
I want to get some vids of my car as it is right now. The way is sounds at idle, driving, and acceleration. Then we will be installing the sways, springs, and exhaust. We will then get some more vids, and the pop charger then more vids.
I used the incar camera mount for a little bit last night and is seems to work pretty good. Its a tight fit but it works, will try getting vid from driver side soon.
