Arrow I love my setup!








A little drift ~


















Literally!!















New clutch - New RA1's - New Pads & Fluid - Stainless - Tweaked Coilovers :::: 324whp | 318 wtq. No mbc and running a low 19-20psi.





What a blast. I was hitting 4th in the front straight -- just an insanely fast autox.


:beerchug:

one more thing. These were taken with a 10mp camera so hopefully I'll get a shot at getting larger versions.

Shots taken by Daniel Purdy : optionphotography@hotmail.com !! This guy braved the cold weather and found great spots for amazing shots.

Thanks guys for the feedback.

Yeah I didn't make any changes to the pics, but for the conditions I felt he did a great job.

The car now sits on 255/40 on the stock wheels so it looks even more slammed than it was (my daily is a jetta on the ground, but I don't like to be too low when racing the evo).

It's impressive the shots and the course was an absolute blast I stayed in high 2nd and mid 3rd throughout the whole sub 50 second course.

Dam nice what kind of coilovers you using, not really much body roll which looks good, I only read tweaked coilovers in mods

I'm rolling on a set of Ksports from Greg@GSC. I've owned them since one of the first 3 sets launched out by them and love them. I just adjusted some of my camber and dampening. I'll be officially custom setup late next week (before the next autox) and going to try out having -3 front camber | -1 rear I think.

Yeah I have some shots of a friend in a stock EVO and it's amazing the body roll difference.

And of course my car is filthy from the gravel road leading into the track & the gravel parking lot.

-3 In the front really? I've been running -2.5 in the front and was considering less due to excessive oversteer...


Worth a shot though...

Nice ride and even nicer is the fact that you race it!

BSP I'm guessing?

SM actually -- Cams.


Hilarious about the race it fact -- that's what she does. Sits in the driveway during the week (while I pile miles on my vw 40k+ a year). Every weekend I'm doing something fun with the RS.

I'll get some better shots of the interior and the nice setup Mr. Coludas (Greg@GSC) provided me with. The harness bar & harnesses friggin' rock!! There were two sections that had a little HOP that was well worth having harnesses to keep you planted.


Greg -- Thanks for the tips I'll hand them to my suspension man and let him do the magic.

Camcorder didn't stay on the whole time so I don't have a lot of video footage but once edited I'll upload it and post.
