    That's Alex's car. He's the man and his car is the shit (in a good way of course) ;-)

      Holy shit, did he get wider tires since getting the new fenders and paint? They look even more ginormous than what I remember.

            He had soft 400lb springs in the back at that point. He posted somewhere that he swapped them out after that, and he had less lift issues.

                he changed them in-between sessions. the 400lb spring made the front have a greater roll resistance, hence the wheel lifting. the 500lb rear made for a better balance it appears

                if I ever ventured into DSP, i think my setup would be very different, but obviously Alex's works for him. maybe the large rear swaybar helps him rotate moreso than stiff springs, or just his taste.

                either way, impressive.

                  I take it you haven't seen the video of him nearly flipping over (2 wheel action) during a turn.

                    That was good stuff. Scary, but good.

                            It is an m20. Seriously, he is one of the fastest drivers out there. He can spin 285 Hoosiers on concrete lol. He has I believe about 175whp. Refreshed head, headers, Alpina spec cam, MarkD chip, single 2.5"? exhaust and I think that might be it... I Dunno though for sure lol. If you search you might be able to find his dyno sheet from a while back.

                              If somebody could put that up, that would be great.
