Re: April 19 autocross at PNC Bank Arts Center

I hated the course in the morning but, loved it in the afternoon. Hopefully we get more runs at the arts center this year. Conversely, I loved the course in the morning when I posted my FTD, then hated it in the afternoon when I lost the rhythm and you knocked me out of first in class by <0.5 sec. ...

Re: FS 2003 330 CI

Thanks! Not exclusively, but it will see track time for sure. I have no plans to retire the 335 yet...it's big(ger) and heavy but stupid-quick and tons of fun in its own right. It will also be a daily, though. I am tired of watching the odometer on every car I buy spin like the electric meter at a M...

Re: Whack Your Turkey Road Rally scheduled for Nov. 23, 2014

Hi Neal - yes, this is the same start location as the 2011 event. The finishing point is different. And of course the route is different...except where it's the same, or nearly so. Unless it isn't. :wink: Google Maps link to the start: Duke Island Park, Parking Lot B (across from the parks building).

Re: Xi vs i

Xdrive is a semi-AWD solution (open diffs with brakes used to minimize the wheel spin and keep the car pointed straight, but doing no torque transfer of any kind ). This bit is incorrect--the xDrive transfer case is capable of directing 100% torque to the front or rear wheels, with a normal split o...

Re: Oct 19 Autocross

My quickest lap was my last one - 38.8 and no cones! 0.170 second. It was so windy that I could have found 0.170s by timing my starts to catch a favorable gust. The best thing I can say about 0.170s is that it's not 0.025s. :wink: Despite not being able to get my head into my driving and put up any...

Re: A BIG thanks for a splendid 2 day school!

Boy! It was rewarding to realize that my driving skills were never as good as I thought they were, and that I have a long long way to go. I did try to squeeze in for a few more tries but it was too late yesterday. Oh well, I am buckling in and am planning to attend more schools. :) As they said to ...

The final decision, after today's second autocross test, is that the fitment is A-OK without spacers. One side showed a faint smudge of dirt on the tape but the printed 3M logo wasn't even scuffed.

Thanks to all who offered opinions & advice.
