Chasen- fwd understeers more then ne platform so 2 necessities to drive fast(actually 3) is early apexing- late apexing u end up with understeer with a wider arc thus losing time and 2 be committed in going full wot when early apexing and surprisingly u stay on track( they are lower hp cars so your chance of getting off is really low) and a tip if u want a little bit of oversteer(chuckle oversteer on a low hp fwd car) get a huge rear sway bar and set rear pressures to like 50 psi hot- itll help slide and rotate car( better be good with steering input though as I've done some mity fine dwifting ie on tite corners ie t11 at sp). Mooty sitting in your bsr(no pad in bottom)- though I can manage driving the car I'm not comfortable with it- hopefully a pad on the bottom may help abit more. May-1st will work with ncrc- be on cups but the june event with ncrc saty/sun- I'm going to run v710's. Mike ps- Dave - when driving against u it's a brick and a boat- sucks bigtime : (. Mike

A1= mk1 rabbit/gti body style- 1st gen. It's a 26 year old car that still can hold it's own on the track. Back on track Colby is selling a stellar 6gt3 something special for the track. Mike

You guys pay so much less for cars in US. That car in Australia would go for at least $165k aussie which mid last year was US$160K and now about US$120k. We have huge import and luxury car duties here which make these a lot more unaffordable.

Damn I just posted in your other thread. So you are selling it. Damn damn damn. I'm terribly sorry to hear about your father. Family comes first. I'm sorry to hear of the news. One thing I always heard from my business teachers is, "when things are bad, they'er really bad." I've learned it has a much broader meaning. I wish there was something I could do. PS that's a sweet GTi, Id take him up on that in a second. Hey mike wanta be my friend too. 8-) So now you know you need to keep your lid. Your welcome to break in my new wip and show a yung buck how to get-er done.
I can vouch too. The car is super super clean! Although I see lately he has taken up farming as a new hobby. 8-P
