You must be pretty well off financially if you can take risks like that with your car (deer running out in front of you).

Deer in the road is not just a "motorsports" threat you know.

The deer came up prettr slowly, I had alot of time to slow down. You are right though, the deer are a risk and we were warned and acceped the risk before. If I crack my car up, I'm **** out of luck. I have the same chance hitting a deer during everyday driving or in a rally. Its soooo much fun. We'll be doing it in the snow in a few months. I'll set up an other vid.

One of those arms sticking out of the headrest. Works quite well.

wonder how the car will drive with an LSD

After watching the vid, I noticed you mentioned about not gassing it too hard or the wheel will spin... or something like that.

Spring is deer season around here. The carcasses litter the highway. Thusfar I've been lucky and haven't had any run out in front of me. When it does happen, I'll be glad that I have the EBD.

It depended on the gravel and what gear I was in. When the road was twisty I was in second gear and we all know that there is alot of torque in second gear, so I was shifting early into 3rd to eliminate wheel spin on the lose gravel. An LSD would help for sure, but when you need to calculate distances with the odometer, its important to manage the wheel spin regardless

have fun in the snow!! can't wait to see it. I haven't had my car in the snow yet. I bought it last year right after all the snow melted off. I am excited for some snow this winter though. Would you recommend taking off the CAI for snow driving? or is the chance of freezing over your air filter from slush and stuff just a small hazzard?

You shouldnt need to take off your cai for snow. People dont realize how hard it is to inhale water all the way up into the engine via a cai. On my old eclipse i had a CAI on it for two years and didnt have a single issue with water. Plus my car was lowered to the ground nearly, so you should be fine.

This stuff rules man! More vids!!! I wish I could save this one on my hard drive...


Glad to see it turned out well for you... and congrats on your win! So you went for a headrest mount?! It did a really good job, I'm surprised!


There's a TRD rally near Sherbrooke in january... will you enter? If so, I look forward to seeing you then! Ask ModernRacer for details... he has already registered for it. I wish I could participate, put I know I just can't afford to... like BLKRalliArt04 said, it's a financial risk I can't afford to take right now.
