What a **** off; a pair of pantyhose would be a quick fix.

There was also a wet skidpad available if you wanted to try drifting while waiting for your next autocross run. So of course I had to try the wet skidpad. It's really hard to get a drift started and once started it's really hard to hold it. So I spun the car on the wet skidpad a lot. Probably 50 or 60 times. The belt snapped during the last spin I did, I suppose the engine must have been forced to rotate backwards somehow. There's no clutch to put in with the tiptronic to prevent this so if I lost the drift and rotated more then 90 degrees I put in full brake to stop the wheels turning and I guess I was a bit slow on the last one. I was starting to figure out how to hold a drift when the fun ended.
I'm not the only one who spun on the wet skidpad, everyone who tried managed to spin quite a lot.

That would be fun; I've tried it in my yard and found once you induced a spin, it really wanted to spin wider than I would really want, I suspect that is due to the AWD.

Installed a Fabspeed straight piped exhaust with no mufflers or cats. O....M....G! I took off my gently used AWE exhaust debating on if I want to sell it.
I haven’t touched the car really in over a year… but this is what I was able to see of it… 4 inches wider than stock full carbon wide body with carbon side splitters
