      I have to get all my tools to my new place. I have an autocross coming up next weekend too so I need to stick my nose in the engine bay and poke around. However, without knowing what needs to be wired up to kill the spoiler warning light on the dash I probably wont be doing anything with that... besides, I have a distraction that will need some initial love.

        Awesome, a 2 & a half car garage!

          The half car is the one that always makes the garage messy...

                  I ended up missing the PCA autocross I had signed up for because I got Shingles so that was fun, but they were nice and let me transfer that to the one coming up this weekend.

                  Anyways, were a bit more settled down and with the autocross coming up, I knew I needed to get under the car and do a quick looksee but also wanted to finally install these shorty mufflers. First 'wrenching' in the new garage is beginning. Time is limited so last night was just getting the car up, wheels off and reinstalling the coilpack heatshield that rattled itself loose.



                  Finally, I finished this little video here about the Rennline intake. I had originally planned to do a writeup with installation, but it was so easy and the footage was boring to watch I figured I could leave my final thoughts and move on to the next video which will probably be the autocross, and maybe the shorty muffler install.​

                    Back to the Show, I took Friday off to "prep" the car, but just ended up running errands and going to GVBC again.

                    I dont know if I have gotten the 'official' pic in front of the sign with this car yet, so I did this time.

                    I did a little lead/ follow with this 996 Turbo and he was impressed with my speed. I was NOT impressed with his low tread wear tires kicking up rocks on me haha


                    Yellow is faster


                    Red 911 anyone?


                    and the other impressive stuff

                    Only pic I took at the autocross of my car. I am working on a little video of this weekends shenanigans

                    The PCA-LA puts on a great event and my instructor Chris Weber was awesome. I improved from a 55 down to 50.3, but I was really hoping to get into the 49s and I probably could've if I was a little more brave in a few areas and a little more patient in others haha. Good times and I plan to attend some more soon, but I also want to get back to Streets of Willow as well as hit 1 or 2 new tracks this year. Buttonwillow should be one and hopefully I can finally pop my Laguna Seca cherry... we'll see.

                      That 240 wagon is amazing. I've always wanted one of those.

                          As much as I liked the blue stripes, the clean look is growing on me for sure. The white lends itself to it.

                            Im enjoying the simple look for now, but have the negative Carrera stripes coming soon. Just have to find time

                              I have to go back and check out this thread from the start, as I recently picked up my own .1 c2... I feel like a fish out of water with a car I know nothing about, whereas E30s are like second nature to me. Keep posting updates! :)
