basically everything was restored except for most of the interior. we got a new motor, new brakes, new suspension, body was completely sanded and straightened. the only things that are original are the body panels, headlights, tailights, grill, dash, and rear seats.

Getting excited, looks like a fun course and not too confusing. Knock on wood.

I had a blast. And most definitely the course wasn't friendly to my massive amounts of understeer. I wish I would have run 2nd or 3rd heat so I could have gotten a better feel for the course.

Tires were the first thing I changed. (And, so far, only thing, aside from a slight DIY realignment in the front to give as much camber as I get get in AS class, about -1 degree; no sense paying someone else to just push it to the stops for me.) I heartily recommend Dunlup Z1 Star Specs, if you're sticking to street tires, but there are some other tires out there, some even faster (Kuhmo's new tire is apparently just AWESOME in the dry kicking serious ass, but awful in the wet.). And who knows what else will be out by next year. By the end of the season, you may be itching for some r-comps, though

No matter what tire you get, it will never be grippy enough. I feel like I'm on ice, too; just a result of driving on the edge of traction. How are your tire pressures, have you gotten them dialed in yet?
