Found this Video of my car Floating around the internet from back in 03. Nasty old Street tires. Stock Suspension and an Open dif and way down on Horsepower (probably about 300 crank then) compared to now. The belt squeal you hear is the Failing Powersteering pump. I had the Tremec Manual Tranny in the car about a week when I decided to run it at this event and the Powersteering pump didn't like the extra 1000rpm I was using hence the squeal ... I had a Issue with the tranny once I went to 3rd gear I couldn't get back to 2nd on the fly so I wait to shift up till after the turn around. The inside wheel smoke you see at the end.... Yeah thats 3rd gear~~!

Linky....

NICE! Man I wish our autoX's were that fast, they're usually too tight to get any speed going. Even with the body roll your car sure scoots around that course like a savage!

We don't use that site anymore because it's too slow. LOL. My times in the wagon have never been anything to look at it's just neat sometimes to have out there. I think that particular day I went something like 11 seconds faster in my S2000 I towed there with the wagon. Oh well. Car is probably a ton better with the dif and suspension and alot more ponies now... but It's a long way from a winner in E-mod.
