Well I finally had a chance to run the '89 this weekend. Been about 10 years since I've been to an Autox event so it was nice to be back.
My old '89 was bone stock right down to basketweaves and stock tire size...this time I was unning my new '89 with nicer tires (still street meat), 96+ SHO brake upgrade, Earls lines, reinforced engine/tranny mounts, intrax springs and ASFBs...what a difference. Granted I was still slow, but it was less slow LOL. I was in SM because of the aluminum sub frame bushings...so I was NOT competitive in class, but I did better than some folks in far better cars (M3s, 540is etc...).
My number plates weren't done, but they'll be here in time for the next event...
Anyhow it was a damn blast and I'm, once again, hooked....now if the car could just be smaller LOL
More pics as they come in.
