I think I need a bigger front sway, thats a lot of wheel liftage. Only have 22mm front and rear.

i like the way your car handles, aside from the old crap tires you had on when i drove it. ignore the lift unless it affects corner exit traction, which it doesn't look like you have problems with.

Well, larger front will promote oversteer, which is not too bad, but scary on the road if you're not accustomed to it. I agree w/ Cory your car handles great, just needs stickies.

I agree, Caroline is definitely better at attacking the course and the added seat time from RallyCross really helps!

Just get signed up, we can find you a co-drive! I guarantee, the added seat time and experience in slippery conditions that RallyCross provides will really pay off.

LOL, not even close. You want slippery, I'll let you run the RallyCross Miata after the water truck has made a pass.

DUDE, I remember Jared's Impreza in fresh wet dirt. One breath on the throttle and you're going sideways. I can only imagine your Miata.

I really want to do Rally X but Saturdays are very much harder for me to take off than Sundays. I'm gonna try make it out next month though after I get my move out of the way and get settled into the new place.

whoever wants to beat on the GC at rallyx, you can. whatever you break, you fix, that's all i ask

caroline, i just use car polish, then wax, no scratches on the paint!
