East Tennessee Region SCCA

yeah, definitely want to control where that acid goes.

i had the battery tip over under hard acceleration on my old monte carlo and within minutes, it turned a few small spots on pelissippi parkway into powder

i'm using the crappiest jack EVAR!!!!!!1, but i don't have the room. my living room already looks like a carpeted garage.

future mods: house w/garage

it was REALLY slick the other sunday i was up there. i've had all the dragon i want for a while.

what is "annual tech"

the 1.8T is gonna make all the power you need for a car like that. stock turbo guys (or direct swapped turbos from other VAG cars) are making up to 230whp/275wtq on stock internals, no nitrous. most of the guys who are doing custom t3/t04e turbo setups are fliriting with 400whp, and that's with very...

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Hoosier&tireModel=A3S04 Holy crap! Have you read the review listed on this tire? :shock: :roll: This guy must be nuts! Who complains about balance on an autocross tire? Who cares about how hard it is to install on the wheel except the guy install...

here is a chart to help you compare diameters.

i don't know what tires are available in these sizes, but 205/45/16 and 215/45/16 look to be pretty comparable in diamater, plus you'll see a bit more contact patch.

i'm definitely not Pro-Solo material (yet ), but i think i'm going to try a divisional (or two) in '04.

good luck.

i've got an internet buddy or 2 that run that region and it seems to be a good region. they like their night autocrosses.

i'm definitely NOT in the market, but........

whenever i see a low mileage 1.8T engine/tranny combo for sale on vortex, i can't help but think about your car

:oops: DOH! silly me. i saw the prices on the H&R site and got excited, then it kicked in that i'd have to buy 20 of those buggers at 4-5 bucks a pop AND buy lugnuts and'd have find other modes of transportation for a day or so while they cure and they might stick out past my stock wheels and bl...

lately, i've found myself doing at lot of tire changes in a dark apartment parking lot before and after autocross events. i don't know what other cars have them, but my car has wheel bolts that screw into the hub. sometimes half of my tire change time is spent trying to line up bolt holes in the dar...

my heel-toe capabilities are somewhat limited by an ankle that had a metal rod and 4 screws placed in it earlier this year. even though i've never tried it in the autocross course (i don't know if my drive-by-wire setup would even let me), i can left foot brake like a champ. back in the spring, i dr...
