I certainly hope not! Snow and RWD don't mix!

sure they do, I drove a miata in the snow with an open LSD on snow tires and it handled better than my subaru with all season's did.

That being said... it's going to be like a mm of snow if any

After some more wiki-ing it appears to only have valvetronic on the intake cam, so I imagine it's small bore legal...

I know it isn't listed in the FAQ but curious if they fall into the small bore or not. It does use bmw's version of VTEC (Valvetronic) and is DOHC... but it only has 118 hp/114 ft.lbs it'll have to be Ed Chan's call. EDIT: the "no DOHC VTEC" rule doesn't seem to be in the FAQ, but I'm pre...

You're welcome

I got bored today at work so I calculated out the small bore rankings with maximum drops taken out: Smallbore: 8 drops AJ 100+100+100+100+100 = 500 Mike 100+99+99+99+99 = 496 Frank 100+100+99+99+98 = 496 Dan 100+99+99+98+98 = 494 John 98+97+96+96+96 = 483 Earl 97+97+96+96+94 = 480 Boris 96+96+95+95+...

I will be when I get home. I'll friend you.

did you get it home ok? taken it apart yet?

Thanks mike

Are you going to update the number of drops as well?

I'd give Ed York a call and see if he knows of anyone. I imagine he's had to have a few bodies straightened over the years.

I was told that we were going to have another event at harry grove that isn't scheduled yet... which would make this all moot. But I'm not sure if that's still accurate.

hepcatz wrote:What I want is a car that will only do 90-100 mph max but does 0-60 in 5 seconds.

that's easy, buy a fast car (my rx-7 probably does 0-60 in 5ish seconds) and then take out 4th and 5th gear

I liked the course a lot today. It was much better than the classic back and forth woodbridge courses.

Here is a video of my fastest run (34.50)

I ended up taking it to House of Balance in Elkridge. They were very nice and all pretty old guys (that means they know what they're doing )

they said it would be done by tomorrow.

I need a machine shop to resurface a flywheel (or any shop really that will do a good job...) It's a lot harder to find one that I thought it would be and this flywheel is pretty rusty so I'd rather not take it to a random shop I can find in the area. (it's been off a car for a while and got wet in ...

I can still show up, right?

It closed because it actually filled up for once.

judging by the weather, I assume there will be a decent number of no-shows, so you'll probably be able to show up and register.

I'm coming rain or shine.

I saw -_-

How much faster is "the zoo" than your car? lol

no

he just thinks it looks good because he won smallbore lol

I was driving John's AE86, but that doesn't really matter. Everything else looks good

Thanks.

Had a great time! Ran street tires for the first time so interested to see how it effects index time. Gave lots of ride alongs, including a guy who just happened to be passing by the event. To the earlier food discussion, there hasn't been any recalls on veggie sausages. ;) Mike ran my car in the m...

yup, I'm looking forward to this weekend... hopefully my rebuilt konis will get here in time... it's going to be tight. I might have to bum a ride in someone else's small-bore car :P Just talked to True Choice... and they still haven't shipped my struts out... thanks for "taking my deadline in...
