Awesome winter plans, guys! It's going to be a fun 2011!

sfong wrote:B class looks like it's going to be a bloodbath :drivin: :mrgreen:


You can count me in on that one... :twisted:

I won't be racing the RSX in 2011, picked up something a little more... German. It follows one of the trends that Dave pointed out. :D

The parts wishlist:
- RS3 tires
- HP+ pads
- SS lines
- SPAL electric fan
- poly bushings/mounts
- misc. reinforcement pieces

and most importantly, ADDING LIGHTNESS :drivin:

I've always been grade A :lol: Unless there is going to be an unlimited class next year.

All those points are kinda meaningless from an autocross point of view without the uber tires. Oh yeah and that pesky driver skill thing that you need ... bah I can spend more money ;)

new truck, and a 24' enclosed trailer. Won't be doing solo I this coming year, buy likely the next. And, yeah, it costs the same to run the truck as it did the STI because I don't have to run 94 in the truck. On the hwy, it's actually cheaper! :loco:

The S2000 is looking pretty "back burnered" in this picture; it's even started to accumulate boxes on top of it:

shut the front door!! Let's calm down, everyone. Take a deep breath, count to 10... things are getting out of hand.

Actually, I did spend the last week driving a 323i. The rwd thing was kind of nice... :insane:

We decided that ETM needed a few more German cars to keep up the "euro" name ;) :lol:

Between my house purchase and my "first car love", I'm sticking with the protege for now. SOMEONE has to represent in D-class :P

No real car stuff for xmas, but 2011 plan is:

- new house for cars and us
- new stereo for miata

if funding allows,

- brake ducts
- some underbody aero if Jamie wants to help

It will be a tame year on the car front.

not sure yet.... maybe C class with my 11wrx... suspension is very soft but tires was very weak point (even if they're dunlops summers not starspecs).

probably going 17x9 race wheel and 255/40/17's. cheater tires or V710's (245 or 275).
- already have front/rear sway bar
- will get decent brake pads - probably hp+
- probably a tune also (if i don't go stock class in regionals).

Why does that car look so much *smaller* than yours ... you need to Lower the Roller !

FM frame Rails are in to tighten the Miata up a little and some Body work...
