    That's Sasha's car (IL VCA member). The clue is the paint, but the interior is the dead giveaway. The car has been repainted twice. The paint is incredible. He took all the panels off the car to paint (he even posted a question here about removing one of the panels). I didn't know that he...

    Which is a better road race tire MXXX or sport Pilots???

    I've never driven MXX3's on the track, but what I've heard is new vs new: MXX3. New Pilot Sports vs unknown age MXX3's: Pilot Sport. My girlfriend switched to Pilot Sports a couple years ago based on "newer=better". So she has a set of very low mile 1996 MXX3s sitting in her garage, still...

    Chuck shows a tire wall who's boss

    Re: Chuck shows a tire wall who\'s boss Been there, done that. Surprising, most of it will buff out. Even 99.9% of that blue paint (do all tire walls have this?) that appeared to be embedded into my black paint came off with the factory paint underneath, intact.

    Help - my car broke!

    I suspect you lost the bushing at the front of the ladder bar on your Gen-1. FYI, the bushing is the same size as used on the front swaybar (in case you need to locate one at your local auto parts store).

    RT/10 rear window tint?

    The rear window is actually DOT approved safety GLASS. It doesn't scratch like plastic/plexiglas/lexan/etc, and if you break it or even twist it too much, it will break into 1,003 little pieces. Try it.

    Warranty Service Denied - Options?

    To paraphrase Steve: "Racing voids your warranty" (read your warranty... it's true) With that in mind, if you break something on the track ("driving school" or not)... 1) Do not come to a public forum and say you were on the track when it broke! 2) ONLY TAKE YOUR CAR TO A VCA FRIENDLY...
