Damn, really wanted to autocross for the first time today. But I stayed out too late, and decided two hours of sleep for an all day HPD event probably wouldn't of had been a smart decision.

http://www.sfr-solo.org/solo2/Result...nd07_info.html

Car's finally running perfectly, after what feels like been forever. KW V1's installed, fresh set of MPSS in the rear, alignment by Auto Innovations, new HPFP which resolved my limp modes & sporadic loss of power.

Anyone autocross here? I'm completely new to it all, I was planning on just showing up in the morning in hope of racing.

I was there, didn't walk the course. Course sucked dick, IMO. Bumpy as hell. I ran my e36, my lap out then my exhaust fell on the ground. I drove 2 cars today (my bro took the motorhome there) to the event so I took my e90 home (35 mins round trip) and grabbed the axle-back section so it won't hang on the ground. I made it back in time to do all my runs.

Super long group whenever I run, novice runs with STX...



see the sound difference with the muffler? lol

$35 for the event, $15 extra if you don't have membership (which would credit towards your SCCA membership if you decide to join).

Anyone have any idea about putting non-adaptive headlights on a car that came with them? I am eyeing some headlights and trying to see if I'd just get warning lights?

You'll just get a warning. My adaptive module died on me and I'm too lazy to replace it so I just get the warning. Also, you can code it out and recode it when you decide to put you adaptives back in. Hope that helps.

Ah, ok. Thanks! Is it difficult to line up your own headlights? Haven't looked into that yet...

What's up peeps.
I will be doing a Caravan for the JGMODS Second Annual Cruise Coma for the folks that are around Napa Valley, Vallejo, etc.
We will meet at the Safeway Parking Lot on American Canyon Road in American Canyon at 6:30am and leave at 6:50am to meet up with the SF Caravan and roll out from there.
Any questions, let me know. See y'all there.

Nope. Pretty simple.

Easy as pie. Use this:

Just make sure you have a white wall & flat surface and 25 ft of space.

Hey all -
Am new to the post. Got my exec demo 2011 328 loaded with all options minus sport & Logic7. Titanium on black. Tinted it 35% ceramic all the way around. Need to add mods to exterior... Any suggestions for quality shops in the Bay that do spoiler install/painting?

It IS the Ultimate Driving Machine!
