Nice pics. I've done Laguna Seca in the rain with my Evo and Infineon in the rain (but in my ole e36 m3.) It'd be fun to try THill in the rain, as its my second favorite track behind Infineon.

Did you guys run the bypass? Coming out of that would be freaky in the rain.

This was my first time in the rain.. its scary fun. I did slide off the track my first lap. I learned after that.... LOL

Agreed... this is a huge insult to someone who spent over 3000 bucks on rims.

I'm not even stressing.. most of the guys won't track their VOLKS. I can see why some inexperience eyes can think they are rotas. LOL! I actually use them for their purpose.

Really digging the action pics. The 4th pic looks like it should be the background of some sort of magazine advertisement...i like it!

How did the suspension feel with the minor adjustments we made Quang? Bet those tires blew in the rain. Glad to see the car made it out alive bro.
