Nick, Sorry to hear about your car. Will it be back together for the April 14th DE at Firebird East?
Yes, I was driving my Red Carrera in DE-4.
What program is the video running in? I can only get sound. I would love some pictures (just click on my profile for my e-mail).
I have in car video of all but the first and last sessions. I will try to post some. I'm sure I have some of you and RS Jim.

Agreed - DAMN you Mike, Damn You!!!

Joe, I got it. When I see my friend next I will find out what info she needs and have you send it to her.

Also, PM or E-mail me what you want for the hard oil lines you said you have. I may need both or I may need just the one that goes under the Jack hole, so break down the price if you would. Thanks.

Nice! I spun at the 2-3 area on my last session. Unfortunately I was out of tape. Did you move back to AZ? If you are going to the April 14th track day, stop by and introduce yourself. I drive a red Carrera with Black wheels (the second car in Nick's (Air-Cool-Me) video).

Jeff,

Barring any car troubles I will be there on the 14th. I will stop by and say hi. Oh I moved back to AZ after three years in Chicago, glad to be back.

I guess there's a downside to being as fast as you are, Jeff. You're going too fast be photographed! I couldn't find you in any of these!

Lee,

Look at the body lean. Time for larger sway bars...

Wish I could have been there for the engine drop...next time you are doing a project like this, let me know (though usually my weekends are spent with the wife and kids)...

It definitely leans a bit, but I think it's exagerated by being up on the rumble strip. Here's a Boxster at the same attitude:

Does not matter, look at the roll. Any car on a track or street that rolls that matter needs stiffer roll bars, and possibly T-bars as well.

Nicely put. Besides... it was hounding quite a few Boxsters and 996s through the curves while listing severely to port.
Now, if Chuck wants to pull his own version of Overhaulin and sneak in overnight and have Jim Patrick upgrade the suspension, I'll play along. Jeff might still have my garage door code. I'll be sure and act surpsrised at the next autocross when I take TToD.
