After years of having daily drivers that had roll cages, no carpet, five points, race seats, fire bottles, etc., I decided that this car was going to stay a street car. Well, I gave in just a little.
I put in a set of five points and a fire bottle that was laying around the shop and took it up to the Streets of Willow for a PCA DE. It has BFG g-Force sports (225 50-15) so I wasn't expecting any great lap times (they weren't timing anyway), but I knew it would be fun no matter what. I was interested to see how it was going to handle at the limit since I haven't even autocrossed the thing yet. Turns out it pushes a bit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I had two students (Both with Caymen Ss (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) ) and I didn't have time to make any adjustments so I just hammered out laps and had fun! Of course now I've got to get a set of Kumhos or Hoosiers or something for it and start taking it to the odd DE or time trial. Might add a rear anti-roll bar, but that's about it... It's a street car, remember... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) A few pics... Attached thumbnail(s) |
