My first event of the season (vids & pics)
Finally was able to make it out to an autox. Ran with the local BMW club. Can ran great, needs more tire. Ran on my 205 street tires....watch as I drift into the stop box. Had another local miata guy ride along, he couldn't believe the torque.

wheel is a $40 deep dish ebay wheel.
very happy with the car, it performed better than the last. Only changes to the suspension was the removal of the rear sway bar and the solid diff mounts. One of the first autoxes I'v done in a long time where i didn't spin a least once. I can control the rear much better, I blame a lot of that on the manual steering.
