..a victory in itself. :beer:
I love it!:rockon:
You are doing it right. First ever event and it was raining? Perfect, absolutely perfect! No better opportunity to practice catching slides.
Then there is the adrenalin.:rockon:
Congratulations.:beer:
.... I had to add oil a couple of times during this event. Didn't do that last year and have never had to do that before. Is this normal? Just for a reminder the car is a stock 97 Cobra, catback only, 23,000 miles.
The car is a 1997 Cobra 23,000 miles, basically stock. The only mods I have done so far have been for safety and reliability. MGW shifter, braided stainless brake lines on all four corners, upgraded brake fluid, and a set of authentic Cobra R's on street tires. The only go mods I have are a Magnaflow catback and a drop in K&N air filter.
I have enough power, love the 4V, and actually the car handles pretty good as it is, I just hate the 4x4 look. So after thinking about it I am not really trying to make the car handle better, I am just trying to get it to look better without making it handle worse. It isn't my daily driver it is my play toy. If you can remember when this thread started a couple of years ago that's what it was about; fun capable track car for a few events each year and reliable weekend cruiser. But if a better handling car is the by-product of getting it lower, so be it. So I guess I am looking for best cost effective improvements.
I agree with you Jimmy.
I have instructed in the rain several times. The students were bummed because it was raining. My remark "what a fantastic opportunity" . They looked puzzled. I said now you can get the car to slide slightly at slower speeds with alot less traffic. Most people won't drive in the rain. They ended up having a blast after the fear wore off.
