    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

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

            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. ;)

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

                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.

                  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?

                    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.

                        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....

                        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!

                        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.

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

                            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 :)
