    I went to the Dragon meet last weekend and had a blast until I blew the IC hose off the car and had to limp back to the campsite and then found out on top of that, that I had gotten a bad tank of gas. I took it easy on the Dragon until my last run where I literally FLEW down the mountain squealing the tires and making my passengers car sick :keke:

    This has also shown me that I seriously need better suspension as it is evident in Killboy's shots that I will post below. The rears were sagging due to a full trunk and crappy suspension. I have stock structs on Perrin Tunersports with stock everything else....lol I almost had the chargespeed side skirts touching the road on some corners. Talk about adrenaline rush! LOL I wanted to do the Dragon over and over but everyone else wasn't up for it....wimpy suckas....lol

    Good thing I bought Milo's Tein Flexes to put on soon with eventually some Whiteline sways and endlinks.

    Here are some Killboy shots. The Silver Bugeye is my buddy Daniel that Scott just did a Meth tune on the VF34.

    Man, those are some saggy butts! :ddirty:

    I like both your cars alot! Especially your buddy's (sorry, partial to silver). Looks like a blast. I'll definetely go next time it happens (should have a better suspension by then).

    Yeah I have the Perrin spring on stock everything and he has Progress springs on KYB AGX's on setting 3 all around. We also had the trunks full of camping gear that weighed at least 100 lbs!
     
  4. My rear rubs with 17x7.5 wheels... I'm also on everything stock and progress springs haha
    I had to remove my system and it doesn't rub as much... it'll soon all change! ^.~

    Coolrex, looks like we went the same route... power -> suspension ;)

    Yeah it was a blast. Made me realize that this is what road course racing is. Not gonna get into it full time as I just don't have the funds or the money or the support but I am gonna try to get some road course time in in the future (SRDET) just to help me get better. The Dragon just simply had my adrenaline going.

    1 being the softest and 4 being the stiffest, Daniel is running on 3. Still stock sways and all though.

    Yeah man you are a trip man. Finally got the car figured out and it was a combination of bad gas and a boost leak. Hope to see all of you at another meet.
