Looks fun !, a pretty short track thpough. According to the pics the cheapest performance gain you could have is some negative camber..

Guys, watching the video.. why does my shifter move that much under throttle?

sweet! Wish I could have been there - my dad's turbo was gushing "blood" out of the turbo so we have yet to fix that.

How hard is it to pull a turbo out anyhow? How hard is it to replace seals that are making it "bleed" ?

Probably sloppy mounts. I have stiff ass engine mounts and the shifter doesnt move around at all, almost

Damnit Flosho, I have all winter to tear apart my car and deal with it's issues with out having to think of what class I'm stepping into next year. Thanks for the reminder!

Kidding though that looks like it was a blast and I can't wait to tear into this thing and make it somewhat competitive.

Do you happen to have a comprehensive list of what mods you've made to your car? Besides the wheels, the 951 spoiler and removing the front pads and pushing the bumper in?
