    my beater E30 in action at a rainy autocross

    Hahaha here's me being slow because it rained beforehand... and the surface was slick as hell... and my E30 was crazy sideways with the new swaybars:

    I may put the rear swaybar back on the softer setting for next time ;)

            Looked like fun. That autocross set up looks a lot different from the ones down in San Diego (think mini road course :))

            What size sway bar set up are you running?

                It was a little more entertaining than that "donut" video we saw a while back ;)

                    Sorry, next time it will be much better. Maybe if there was a parking lot around here more then 2 car lengths in size...

                      Not until the suspension is in. Soon, my friend. Soon.

                        I don't understand why people always need to set up their suspension prior to starting AutoX. As long as your car won't break, you're good to go :) Besides, you can learn a lot on stock suspension.

                          Better to start stock, and get used to the way it handles, then you upgrade.

                            try last sunday, and this weekend, and next weekend, and the weekend after that.

                            too bad my car can't pass tech with a broken battery tray.......hopefully solved this weekend.
