What are your spring rates and alignment setting? Your car looks seriously scary, yet fun to drive.

my car is insane right now for autox, i just need to learn to harness it all.

Rankink took my car for a spin and managed to screw up a few times due to the extra power he's not used to and the turn in and he still managed to beat his fastest time of the day.

it's scary, i just need to tigthen the nut between the steering wheel and the seat.

but that all comes with seat time.

should be racing this weekend but I need to prep for the Subaru Challenge.
gotchya, that makes sense. I hear you with that big screw between the seat and the wheel. Takes a ****-load of torque to get it any tighter

Try a 3lbs. sledge?

I'm sure that might knock something loose.

Eh, tried that, just made me dizzy, and a never ending headache.

You might have better luck.

Although my 3lbs. sledge was a headbutt to a 165lbs. guy. So maybe that doesn't count.

Got back from the challenge Saturday night ~9pm.

Great event, I'll comment on my overall performance once the official results get posted.

I did get 2nd in BSP a mere .2 seconds behind Mr. Bill Cook.

Pastelito Racing represented very well with many trophies and excellent finishes including 1st in Pax and Raw time from Kolin Rankin (Rankink) with a 51.9xx (he's fast)

anyway, here are a few photos from my car at the event.

I want to thank Abby for cutting out the stencils and Aaron (loworbitsi) for making the print out of the rising sun.
