    Auto-x and my car

    Some pics of the auto-x last Sunday and my car with newly painted lip, Ryan G splitter, and high beam delete.













    A couple 318is's








    Nice '72 Pantera

        We actually only had 44 entries, usually get around 75. There was a Porsche DE that day as well as an evolution driving school, so too much going on. Car handled great. The springs really helped flatten it on the corners, and that combined with the new offset cabs seems to have gotten rid of my understeer issues. Now I just need to tune the driver!

          Thanks! Getting to the point where I don't even care how it looks, just want to get it tightened up. In fact it's kind of fun beating the M3's with primer spots on my hood :p

            That's why I like autocross, cause nowhere else can I touch e36 m3s, except for insurance payments and mpg though I guess...

              That looks like fun. Is that yellow car an old Maserati?

                It says directly above the pictures that it's a '72 Pantera. A rather sexy '72 Pantera.

                  TX, gee it's still warm there. You probably have a month before the temps get chilly. Thumbs up for fun as opposed to artistic driving.

                    Kinda funny, we actually run all winter and take the summer off. This was the first event since June because it's been too hot to stand outside. We have one in November and the last of the season in December, then the new season starts in January.

                          Same here...we run all winter and go to night events in the summer.

                          Car looks the business, too.

                            I decided to match it because I have a set of sport side skirts I'm putting on, thought it would flow better. Funny, the paint on the lip is the best on the car.

                            side note, I'm very impressed with paintscratch.com. Ordered a couple rattle cans pre-mixed and it came out very nice.
