hmm, in the process of putting stuff back together i bumped the lock on the door and now it seems as if it does not want to lock.

my remote does nothing even when the car is off, it stay unlocked. if you push the switch for the lock it pushes itself right back out... any ideas?

 

And amazingly enough the locks fixed themselves?! Anyway on to the even better news, my driver side door is RATTLE FREE!!!!!!!!! (for now). The passenger side door had great results as well however i can still hear one of the foam cubes squeeking when im around 25-30 on volume

 

Awesome! I was lucky enough to not have any rattle issues in my 8. Grats on the fix.

 

Nice bumpstop comment.............

Steve, I see Tony already offered his helmet. I have an extra also, size L.

Helmet City is an online retailer with really good prices and is reliable, i've bought quite a few things there.

So far for Nelson's who's in???

1) Tony
2) Doc
3) Vyndictive Steve
4) Brian???
5) John ???
6) Tom ???
?????

Did Mid Ohio yesterday. VERY humbling. Every time I try something new, I learn just how much I don't know.

Car did fine. Thanks for the list RK.

My instructor was good. The first classroom session was good, but the other classrooms were complete wastes of time. They were so basic as to be uninformative. Then they completely missed any discussion of driving technique.

Don't forget first NORA autocross next weekend.

I may do BeaveRun the day after Nelson also, if anyone is interested. Brian?

Apparently, I need to start a fourth business to pay for all this driving.

 

I'll be at Nelson's to take pictures for everyone.

 

I wouldn't mind running at Nelson's with you guys, but money is too tight for me now (plus I still have the bold tires on... unless Doc wants to let me borrow one of his 1000s of tires ).
But I wouldn't mind going to watch. When is it?

 

WTF!? I did not. What the heck am I supposed to use? Besides, I don't want his 'Meth germs' on my head!
I'm glad to see you put yourself on the list. I'd consider BeaveRun if the finances work out. Is it the same requirements and setup as Nelson's? What's the cost? I took that day off of work too.

 

Saturday May 9th. You can be a helmeted passenger in someone's car if you want.

 

I'd be up for adding 205 lbs to someone's car
I would need to borrow a helmet since I don't own one.

 

I'll start checking the thrift stores for used helmets since few people here have them. Free lice with every purchase!

On another note, I need spark plugs. Time to research....

 

I wouldn't mind adding some weight to the chase vehicle. :P

 

I have a spare pack of plugs if you want.

 

All four? We might need to get together sometime soon.

 

BeaveRun is $180. 8-1:30 for groups 1 & 2. Which is good since that's Mother's Day. Home in time to keep Momma happy. You would qualify for group 2, but I'm in 1. Details at: http://www.beaverun.com/thrills_flat...t_sessions.php

Jon John or anyone else is welcome to ride with me. As I said, I have 1 extra size large open face helmet for anyone who needs. I bought an extra for passengers. It's actually fun to watch. That's where I met Tony. There was another guy, scats, from the group there, but he moved away. He was a nice guy.

I also bought some speed bleeders since I'm starting to push the car a little harder.

Anyone going by Summit Racing before the meeting on the 24th? I need some brake fluid picked up.

 

My son took a pic of my car. Not a good as John's usual pics. Can you maybe give him some lessons.

I have a video of my last session if anyone wants to see the course down there. It's too big to email though.

 

I went back and looked at the pictures from last year at Nelson Ledges with Tony, I and Scat. Hard to believe they are on page 9!!!!! Amazing.\

They played this video of a formula F1 driver taking his wife for a ride around a track. It is hysterical to watch her facial expressions as the ride goes on while he is cool as a cucumber on a Sunday drive.

Just a little body roll there doc. :P

 

Off camber hard 60 degree reverse turn there. ">"Plus, I lost all that weight so my side of the car is lighter.....

 

Yeah, that's gonna be the deal-breaker right there. $300+ for track fun time in one weekend would probably result in me being forced into checking the 'Single' box on 2009's tax return. Maybe next time.

 

hey fellas, i changed all the rotors and pads on nate's VR8 last sunday(very easy job). i took some pics in case anyone wants to see them, would make a nice brake change faq... hope to see u guys on the 24th if I don't work at the AFD that day.

 

hey guys where is that autox on may 9th im hearing about? i just joined the forum and i woud like to take my car to a track day and get involved in some of this stuff.

 

Sure would be interesting if everyone got in to the racing side of this club...

 

May 9th is at Nelson's ledges...it is not an AutoX. First AutoX is at Eastlake Captains Stadium on 4/19.

 

oh okay i gotcha. i didnt know there were so many events around here. can any of you guys send me some information on the events going on? or let me know where to find some
