Here is one shot of my car running in SM on saturday, this was event #3.

During the last event I couldn't even get one run completed as the car died and I had to get it towed 60 miles back home. I later discovered a broken distributor rotor, a battery probably hit the distributor housing while I was running the car on day 1, 1st run and I lost all power at the end of the run :ohsnap:
Obviously it needs power, as I was going wot through most of the course and by the time It builds up speed through the slalom it was time to slow down for a corner. I got 4 clean runs and managed to post a better time than a couple miatas (i was faster than a couple faster cars with 2-3x as much power, but they weren't regulars), as that's probably all I can gauge my car against in terms of weight/power. Once results are posted i'll gauge myself against other cars in different classes to see how it stands and go from there.
I am currently trying to figure out what is causing some major vibration in my car that vibrates the crap out of my rear view mirror. I had to baby it home and after getting under the car, found 1 13mm nut on the lower tranny bracket was loose but unfortunetely that didn't fix a problem as the vibration is still present if I give the car 1/3 throttle. I could not see the condition of the CSB, but tried moving the driveshaft around with my hands and didn't notice any play in it.
