nice videos, you drive like me on the autocross course. I had crappy rear tires and kept drifting and spinning out last year.
haha, i picked up the car, and decided to learn to drive rwd before moding anything. i was spinning so much because i got the car with crappy street tires on the front and all seasons on the back. needless to say, this really made the car tail happy.

i also found out that although everything states 205/225 for ap1's its actually supposed to be 225/245 to match the stock contact patch of the potenzas?!?! i wish someone would have told the previous owner haha, because im on too little rubber as well then.

but yea, if someone does have a good front sway for sale, id definitly consider it depending on price. the sanar seemed like a good bang for the buck so im planning on that. im considering the nascar style too, but have heard mixed feed back.




oh yes, and the 350 is quite amazing in person. the kid who owns it was out of control the first year he raced, then learned his shit and became an FTD contender at nearly every event.

That one's not for sale anymore. It's on it's way to me (hence my saner bar fs).

Anyway, I highly recommend a front bar for autox. While it's a good idea to learn to drive a stock car first, the bar is a necessity if you're going R comp. Even on street tires though, it made a huge difference for me.

i have a friend who has the home number of the guy who makes the Saner bars, so i think i might be able to get a hook up thru him, i just have to order early.
I definitly need one before the season since i have rcomps to run on. A guy in allegheny county had rcomps without a bar and got massive amounts of wheel spin since he was lifting his rear tires on corners.


i forgot to post as well, this is my old car:

i miss it dearly! and plan on owning another at some point once im in a position to have two cars again. i loved how that car drove. it was very predictable, even on Rcomps
