suspension overhaul complete! One vorshlag camber plate completely destroyed. broken welds, stripped bolts, and finally conflagration. Can't decide how I will discard of the second one. It will be a fantastic display though. I am liking the new suspension, holla!

had to put trunk liner back in. that noise was the coming from the rear corners where the trunk liner used to hold stuff down. either way, I am happy as a clam. cant wait to autocross. I can tell already I have MUCH less dive when braking! yeah!

It's painful to miss the events, but i'm with you in spirit! I signed up for the last two events and had to cancel because of work travel. My latest contract is in Regina, SK. I've been traveling 3 weeks per month July, Aug and now Sept. Traveling that far, to a fairly remote location forces me to leave on Sunday afternoon and i get home late fri night, sometimes saturday on a red-eye, bleary-eyed and useless.

Just trying to keep the family / work / autox balance. Hopefully i'll make one more, Oct, this year.

btw, mike and andy,
i run -1.7 on my vorshlags day-in, day-out and have 245 Hankook V12s up front. I don't recommend the tire, but the point is
- for andy, you should not have to go to 225s
- for mike, you should be fine running 2.0 daily. i don't drive much, though, 3,500 miles since January.

yeah the 235's fit. direzzas run wider than normal tires though, that was my only worry. I probly have at least -1.5 degrees camber just from looking at my wheels. once I get an alignment Ill be testing the fitment for a day or two. glad to hear to just didnt up and quit autocross, work is a decent excuse i guess.

how does it look with the 235s extra height? so you are running the ARC-8s with 235/255?

i love autox. i'll be back, but not soon enough. blame it on my wanting to be with my family after too much work travel. October looks good, maybe i can get in 3-4 events that month between autox and hpde. definitely looking to run at NHMS in October with COM.
