Done.

This car was bought new in February of 2008. It has ~26K miles on it, the majority of which are highway miles. It does have the autodim mirror with compass, and the only option it doesn't have is the GPS. (Just added weight, anyway, right?;-)).It was autocrossed for one season, and has seen...

Sleepers rule! We should have it for a while, so I'll likely be in touch. GT

Just to follow up, we've got everything straightened out. It seems as though Ken and Steve have been put into awkward positions by their vendors. I'm happy to report that the issues with the pads and the rotors have been resolved, and I should be ready to go for VIR next week. Thanks go out...

Yes, you may. Though you should consider **** stick as well. Also fun. I've got the Ecstas on now and have an event this weekend. We'll see how they hold up.

Just passed 8K and they barely made it. I've got a set of Kumho Ecsta SPTs going on tomorrow. Now before everyone goes an calls me a "fuckhead", I've got 4 autocross events 1 autocross school on those tires. Rotated them after every event too. That being said, I probably need how to drive...
