He edited the post, so whatever he said is gone. If you could quote things like that in the future, that'd be awesome. ![]() | ||

Have I ever posted anything anywhere that has shown that I have drifted on the touge? I never have, and I won't. It's simply too dangerous, illegal, and not worth it. I've driven quickly (grip) on the touge a few times a while ago though, but I don't do that anymore. Too many unknowns, too many chances for an incident, and not worth it. I don't know why you decided to attack me all of a sudden.
I didn't remove anything about driving on the touge, I only edited my post to add more pictures. Also, I found someone that will trade me some parts I want for my wheels, so they aren't for sale anymore. Sorry... This post has been edited by awddrifter on Jan 21 2014, 02:02 PM | ||||

Track days are a blast, but you definitely pay for it. If you've got the passion though, there's always a way. ![]() Me, Grappler, and my father are headed to one this evening, actually. ![]() | ||

It's a great thing to strive for for sure, because it can still be more affordable than you think. There are a few less active members here with what basically amount to a normal car that have plenty of fun on the track. Just set aside some cash for brakes and tires. And thank you, sir! | ||

Click here to view the image in its original dimension. Probably THE worst way to get into motorsports, time attack racing. It was my first time on the track, and it was fun and all, but I got plagued with the infamous GC gas tank slosh... Would stall everytime after a long right hander and hairpin left... Didn't do too bad, was beating a GD WRX in my class. Decided to reset my ECU and was running 12AFR's (This is a whole another story by the way. Accessport decided to take a dump a few days before by spewing smoke out of the usb and OBD2 ports). Called it a day and took it as a great experience. Best of all? First track day with a car that I completely built, and I got to drive her home ![]() Will definitely go to another track day, but I'll definitely need to do a STI (or maybe just any GD) gas tank swap and just give'r. Oh and by the way? If you want to be competitive in time attack, DO NOT RUN 380 treadwear tires. These Ziex's suck some major dick. lol This post has been edited by chillined on Jun 14 2014, 10:37 PM |

I kinda miss competing in Redline events, but the last time I did I spent way too much on tires and Roger in his Evo always kicked my arse (and not always by small margins). I don't think the 'ole FC will really be competitive in any class, as much as I'd love running it it's just destined for track days. |

Sometimes I get jealous when I hear about all the nice cars that backalleyracer drives. It makes me tempted to hit him up next time I go to Vegas and ask if he can hook a brother up with some discounts because I'm poor as hell. I never knew you worked at Dream Racing either. Man, I'm friends with some pretty cool people who do pretty amazing things... ![]() | ||
