Talking Auto-x pictures up, HERE!

And finally I have some web space, here are the shots, enjoy:

Accelerating (not so hard) in 2nd gear...

Leaning hard, from behind...

Nice head on shot, with the car leaning quite a bit.

Come close to the cones!

Accelerating hard in 1st

Leaning hard, in the rain...

This is what I'm talking about, I thik that camber change towards positive is all at the lower control arm/bushing...

Another nice shot, miliseconds before the shot above [IMG]

Coming out of the lanechange

During the lanechange (look at how close I'm to the cones!!!)

I'll stop at these, don't wanna bother you too much, specially those with slow connections...

What's going on here? I don't see anything wrong with either of the commands that don't show an image! Any ideas?

There was nothing wrong with your coding... I just copied and then pasted and took out the spaces....

Thanks for the comments.

I'm working on the mpegs, but being short on cash, I'm going to choose to spend my money on the car, instead of the video car for now. However it shouldn't be TOO long before they all come up here...

I'll be doing an auto-x school this saturday, and an auto-x sunday. (The car works fine! EVERYTHING WORKS!) Both will be taped, and likely I'll have the pictures following mid week or so.

I got some sport struts (factory) from pelican, along with the (optional) sway bars front and back. I'm running sport shocks, and the only thing that's NOT sport is my rear torsion bars... Spring rate should be somewhere around 175-225# per inch, I can find out for sure if you want. If you're looking to upgrade the suspension for street use, I'd definately recommend something more agressive. These are fine for comfy cruizing and competitive at auto-xes (since they're allowed in stock classes, and are still a definite improvement).

Wow, autocrossing in the rain... I oughta try that. It might even make my 944 feel like it's making some power at the rear wheels. Nice pics.

Don't get a paint job. The extra thickness it adds would take a couple of cones as close you run. See what you're talking about on front suspension.

Thanks again for all the comments...

I may strengthen the control arms, but that'd put me in modified... If I start to track the car, I wouldn't mind, it's a definite improvement...

On the other hand, I'll probably do some engine work when I swap my cross member, so I may turn the engine back to stock while I'm at it...

We shall see.
