Autox vids.
First one is something I just had to do at least once. Once was enough because you can hear the P zeros really complaining. 4500#s+ car and driver.

Second vid is a Miata course with the RS, cold day on cold cup tires. Note that the Miata course runs down each runway and back, course is different coming back on both runways. If you miss a gate you are completly screwed because it is almost impossible to find the correct line again. All you see is a sea of cones. I have seen some drivers come to a complete stop trying to find their way.

Yeah they are pretty good with doing some heavy beta testing themselves before releasing a final product. Us 9 guys are very lucky to have the most support rom on the planet

I cant wait to see a final product with this.

The latest one was pretty good. More GTR goodness. They need a whole episode devoted to it though...

I would also love to rip the EGR out. AC will always stay in the evo but when i pull the intake mani off i have a feeling the egr wont go back in if it doesnt need too.
