Marc, if tim doesn't want to be my instructor again for the trackdaze event I'd like you to be my instructor. Not making you second choice or anything. Tim and I had a hootin hollerin time last Friday.

I really like having an Evo driver or front motor awd driver as an instructor. Tim knew my car better than I did. Even when my CEL light came on he told me to keep pushing it and the car was fine. He was right. I was just picturing towing my car home so I came in to check it. Luckily it was like 2 minutes before the end of the session so I didn't miss much.

From your AX videos it looks like your car is quick, you should def come out for an event or two. we have a great time, just like we did @ Lightning, and there is a strong EVO showing (obviously). Are you doing any national events this year with the car?
i think my RS has time left on the table at Lightning also. it was only my second trackday in the Evo and i had light traffic on the record lap. i'm still getting comfortable with the Evo, been driving a rear wheels drive s2k for 3 year.

i don't get to serious with autox, mostly there just to hang out with friend, work on my suspension tunning a little and have fun driving the car over the limits my cars are never really setup to be competitive in any class in autox.
the only national event i'm going to is the NASA Championship in mid-ohio.

Anyone have a se lip laying around? I tried fixing mine today and its just not to my liking. Have any of you guys had luck with an aftermarket one?

^ I really can't help you in that department Tim, but I would say if you get an aftermarket one, get the carbon SE lip. That ish looks good.

What's wrong with the current lip?

I know Sandy has a Ralliart style carbon one on his car, and he likes it alot. I have a IX GSR lip at home, but it recently got painted TB, so I don't think you'd want that.

Ryan,

Yes, I'm sticking with corn as long as I can.

Good luck in life,

Dan

I have a set on my car with about 2k miles on them now. Drove on the highway at 75mph in heavy rain and it felt fine. I don't use them for track, so I don't know how they perform on wet track.
