Hard Parking

most of that sound is just my intake.. haha. The video doesn't really do it justice, the difference between it and stock is incredible, especially past 6500rpm :)

Just watched the video, your car sounds great! What's done to your motor??? :shock:

Looks to handle really well too! You got some skills behind the wheel!

Buy an '02. It's good for when you run out of shit to fix on an e30.

I've thought about it from time to time. need to build a nice garage first! And probably a car that I can just drive to work before I have another toy....

Love the IX Nando! Love the meaty tires too! :pimp:

Has the AWD system given you any problems? How efficient is it at maintaining traction when you 3 wheel a turn?

no real problems. transfercase is older than dirt too. I just did something a little unorthodox and filled it with redline shock proof instead of ATF. We'll see how it likes it..

I've 3 wheel'd a few times and not really noticed, so I guess it works fine. that was on the old suspension though, that shouldn't be happening anymore!

did you find that you were gaining an advantage over the other drivers as the track got wetter? man I cant wait till my iX sounds (and looks) that mean. Thumbs up.

A bit, but that depends on other factors too, and there were lots of other cars with the same tires (the club is sponsored by Toyo). I lapped the poor guy in the black Porsche, but I never saw the STI's, minis, or any of the other fast cars out there so I think we were all pretty well matched. I usually climb 4-5 spots overall in a wet autox vs dry though.

looks great, like a lot of fun... gotta love a 4-door!

thanks, I wouldn't have it any other way :)

I lol'd. I'd probably put that in my sig if I didn't love the quote I have in there now so much.

[Charlie]

Consider me flattered :p

I did so much work getting my car ready before the track day I'm actually kinda bored now. lol. I'll think of something else to "fix" though. ;)

nice pics man, i also love your car!

Hawt, my first HPDE was in half rain half shine. It was a good learning experience, as stated.

[nando]

yeah lol, I take it fairly easy there. I'd rather bounce off the limiter in 2nd, than try to shift mid corner. On the other side of the wall is the river... :o

[z31maniac]

Nice!

At least it wasn't the next left, looks like you would have put your car in the wall! That is a wall I'm seeing isn't it?

[nando]

it was about $500 in 2007, I think they are $1200 now.
