Sweet! I like all the different places you shot the videos with. Should combine them all, make a big video of the day kinda thing. Where do you find things like these, autocrosses i mean. Id love to try this but dont know where to start looking.

Nice pics. Quick question. Where do the letters derive from that are taped to the side of the vehicles? For some odd reason, when I saw NSMF on your car, the first thing that came to mind was, "Not safe MF'er"

Check out this site and maybe that will help
The Sports Car Club of America - Home
Should have a Florida chapter
Yeah there was all kinds of cars that people brought out haha you can AutoX anything you want.
Tires/mods: 215/45/17 S Drives on 17x8/9 LMs. Stance GR+ Coilovers

Its not the best setup if this is what your going to do alot but for me id raise the car up a tad bit if I was going to do it alot more or go to places like VIR,etc.

Nice runs. Now please go do a HPDE and have even more fun. You probably smiled for the rest of the day after the Auto-x right? HPDE will leave you smiling for a month.

One day lol I plan to pull off some fender flares in the rear to get rid of that stretch or find 17x8 LM rears but good luck on that lol.
They gave out awards I guess for the same reason, Give new comers a good start and have something to look forward to. Here if you get first you cant run novice anymore.

Either or, im wayyyy to broke right now to do anything major which is why the car hasnt been touched in almost a year besides the hub swap and LMs being put on. I might try custom flares and if that doesnt work then move onto fabbing up the fenders.

I was gona do the full body PDR but I dont think a car that will be a track car in a year or two really needs it. I figure everyone loves a race car no matter how many dings it may have. A show car has to be kept clean all the time. Gonna put that money towards a weld in roll cage
