Can you lose the interior in SP?

Negative. I can add a racing seat (given its upholstered and a few other things)

I will put the back seat back in before the season. I am finishing off the local season here in SM so I had it pulled out.

I like the orange looks old skool BMW racing. i.e. 2002 cars. I do think you should black out your chome!! the orange doesnt go with the chrome. Overall nice! wish I would have found that 1200 IS for me to put goodies in my es

Re: My new soon to be race car...

I got a friend that works for Koni making me up a set of D/A shocks for use with Ground Controls and GC Camber Plates and all the other suspension goodies. 15x8" Kosei K1s with Hoosiers (would be V710s and still might be if they ever make some decent sizes) going on and itll be ready to race.

Hell yeah. Love the colour too.

looks great, what color is that? it looks brighter than henna, but henna never looks the same in pics as it does IRL.

for autox maybe u should have gone with the 318

I disagree.. the 325is would clean up over a 318. you don't have enough torque to pull away after sharp corners, and a properly setup 325 will handle just as well, especially if it's a dedicated car and you can remove a lot of the extra weight.

I love the color, my favorite car of all time was my Inca 2002Tii!!!

Great job!

Its actually Chevy Omaha Orange modified a bit with some wet look hardener and thinned to not be as "orange" I guess is a good way to put it.

momentum driving.


Cool color choice!

momentum driving.

Spoken like a Miata driver. Its all about momentum and lines. Hell at thel ast National Tour I was at a Nick Flynn in his CS miata was less than one second behind Danny Popp (who happened to be running his ASP Z06 in SM2 which he still won).

I learned that from M3's.... Momentum driving is more fun too... any fool can slam the go pedal. Good drivers carry their speed. 8)

i coast around town in neutral, get about 10 mph above the speed limit and throw it in neutral, i usually make it to the next red light before having to put it back in gear and go again, gotta do something to save gas money. :)

nice car, orange is my favorite color on cars, looks great and will look even better when u paint that b pillar black and tuck the bumpers.

Thats not momentum driving! Momentum driving is going around cornors scrubbing as little speed as possible so when exiting cornors your going faster than the other guy.

I routinely run circles around 'torquey' 325s around the autocross course.
