Title: First Drive
Post by: ///Motorsport on July 11, 2006, 04:45:52 PM

Went on my first real spirited drive today, stock suspension with Azenis.  The car felt a little floaty, but i can only imagine how it will feel with some stiff springs and my tires wear down a bit.  I fear there is a little sterring play/ inaccurracy due to a minor accident or whatever happened to my car (oil pan replaced, fron spoiler torn off....curbage?)

on a twisty road i could keep above 100 on the straight parts, feels nice and light entering the corners, with the proper setup i think i can really make up some time on bigger/powerful cars.

still waiting on my springs, so today i'm using some bumper paint to try and revive my trim...

hopefully byt the ned of summer i will also have a new clutch (mine is dead) and LWFW and ebay chip.   that will be more than enough speed and i'll turn the fall paychecks into some more stopping power...
