I'll get my ass handed to me in that class but I'm in it for the fun of driving my car. I don't mind being the underdog in SM. I need to get it tuned so I can get back out there :thumb:

It doesn't matter if you have a coupe or hatch, sedan etc., you'll have fun and learn a lot about driving :woot:

Its easy to say "Im a good driver" but you wont know til you actually put yourself in the seat and behind the wheel.

Have fun!

- Tue Aug 30, 2011 4:58 pm #269619 I am just in it for the fun really, the gutted interior is just something I like, i plan to color match my trunk and rear section in the same color as my bay. Does power steering give you any kind of advantage? cuz ive been thinking about converting mine back to PS, since the previous owner decided to swap out rack and pinion, lol
