Wow, that's terrible. Definitely file a police report as soon as you can. Not only will it make things easier with the insurance company, but on the off chance that they figure out who did it then they can connect you with the perpetrators.

yep switching from acd to non acd. my current setup is on the left and an evo 8 case on the right with an open diff. i'm putting my lsd diff in the 8 case with the viscous coupler. my acd pump cracked and broke when i crashed last fall. i've been working on removing the whole system this winter. oh and no debris, i think it's just the glare in the pic. the 8 case actually looked cleaner than mine with way less miles haha.

some more pics from the project




the spider gears in the 8 are actually still in really good shape. i know people tend to break these a lot, which is impressive seeing as the car it came from has been raced most of it's life.


lsd in the carrier with the 8 viscous coupler


done

So who all is going out to Millers on April 11th for Wide Open Wednesday? I am planning on heading out but it would be great to get a group of local guys to head out together. So far it will be me and my friend with his 135i.

I don't care about the civics I just want to get back on the track again. I missed all the wintercross events and have wanted to test out my new suspension setup.

Hmm, tempting... If I can get in to MINI for my service AND replace my pads in time (the fronts are "saying" they have less than 350 miles left on em) maybe I'll head out. Last one I went to was a huge PITA because so many people are going there now... But it's still tempting as a fairly cheap way to do a few laps since full blown track days are out of the question.

I didn't make it to any winter-x either. I may have to join in on the fun. Is it still $25 ?

Hello-
I have some curb rash/smoosh on two of my BBS MR wheels. According to wheelwerks on 3900 s. since it is a bit down from the lip and with the finish on the BBS's they will need to be repainted/finished otherwise the repair will show. So it is $900 approx for the repair on two wheels and then to have the 4 powdercoated/black. Anyone have any good or bad experiences with these guys? Anyone looking to sell 4 pristine BBS wheels? ( I would use them as a winter set). thanks!

Yep $25 for the track, $10 for the autocross, or $30 for both. It looks like they want you to preregister now.

I am hoping since this is the first one it will be the least crowded.
