Great time as always, though I wish I had some more rest prior. I'm ecstatic it made all the runs and didn't puke any gear oil. Hmm, maybe I should check it and see if there is any in the rear.... :D Here's the incar of my best run. It'll probably cause nausea. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBPgUgw...

230? That's not bad. I thought it had a bit more with the way it just tore around there. And that I've encountered lots of IROCs and Z28s that I used to embarass with my stock 160hp crown vic.

Thanks for the info guys. I have debated what trans to toss in. I've seen some upgraded t5s around that I've considered. My car is only 240 rwhp, but the 4500lbs does scare me. I've had good luck with them in my many mustangs-and got lots of spare parts from all the guys tearing them up. :lol: And y...

I'd also offer my car, however I am waiting for some suspension parts, it needs an alignment, I corded a front hoosier at the last autox, and to top it all off I hurt the trans pretty bad on the last bowie event. At least I have a great excuse to do a t5 swap!

I had a great time. Thanks to everyone that gave me a ride along!

Wagon sure got angry with me though. Hopefully I can take care of it.

Here is my quickest morning run.

Great time as always, getting the car and driver a little quicker every time.

Yeah, I know Ed. Just take my money!

Wow, how heavy is the subie? My wagon is 4500 and isn't hard on tires at all.

Can I be #206 instead of #903?

Forgot to toss that in the comments when I signed up.

Thanks!

I signed up. I'm down for lots of runs. Maybe I can get used to driving the barge again.

I thought costco stopped doing M&B on tires they didn't sell. LAst time I checked M&B was $14 or $16 there. I had 2 sets of tires done at walmart. They bitched about the small sidewall of the 245/45/17s and took an hour to do 2 loose wheels. The next set I brought in they completely destroye...

Yeah, he sure did. Was like a mini reunion!

I enjoyed bringing the wagon out for the first time in 4 years! Sure beats the old bmw for excitement. Great to see everyone again!

And thanks to Fred and Wade for the wheels and tires!

Hey Wade, sent you a pm. Still interested in your tires.

Won't have my car ready this time, but soon the wagon shall return.

Made a trip to Frederick and picked up a set. Should have the wagon at the next autocross.

Thanks Fred!

Looks like I have a new plan....

I have 17x9s, Probably a bit of a squeeze to get those on. Bet I could find a cheap pair of 17x10s though... hmm....

I'll keep those in mind.

Looking for some used stickies with a little life left in them. Hooisers, azenis, whatever.

I'm on occasionally. My gamertag is Familytruckster .....

I picked up a nice salvage title Protege 5 and need to find a decent shop to do a little tugging on the front end. Can anyone recommend a shop in the area?

Thanks

I usually have Mt Airy motors do my resurfacing. Though I haven't been there in years.

you and 69 other people.....


Hurri-cross was fun. Good to see everyone that braved it. Quickest autocross ever! Hope everyone made it home safe.

I had York Auto align my BMW. Very knowledgeable and good price. It's like a new car.

Here's a cellphone vid of Fred's cobra.

I'm pretty sure I registered, but haven't received an email or seen my name in the roster. What's the deal with the barcode? Is that something I need to print out and bring?


Yeah, E36 front end, E30 butt. Makes one heck of a great commuter, great milage and easy to parallel park.
