Congrats to Jari (bttmotorsport here) for his debut of his newly built e36 318is at 100AW. He came in 9th and 8th overall in the clubrally events, 2nd behind Greenhouse in 2wd and 1st in Production class for both events, but more importantly, would have finished 13th or 14th in running in the national, all in a bone stock car - all 2700 lbs and 138 hp - with an automatic tranny that would not downshift into turns and no rear brakes to speak of.
Look for him at RWV with the 4L60E controlled with a TCI TCU aftermarket unit and properly balanced brakes ready to kick some ass. After that he might add a real suspension and some power.  "Talk about drugs. Driving a car like that, going that fast, it’s like all the drugs at once." - Tommy Byrne "Now, Pinky, if by any chance you are captured during this mission, remember you are Gunther Heindriksen from Appenzell. You moved to Grindelwald to drive the cog train to Murren. Can you repeat that?" - The Brain Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 02/26/2012 10:54PM by wvonkessler. |

Good job first time out! Where could a person get some good suspension for a Bay Ehm Vay?
I mean rally suspension? In USA? Maybe he could call the lunatic in Colorado.....I hear he has real good stuff..  John Vanlandingham Sleezattle, WA, USA Vive le Prole-le-ralliat www.rallyrace.net/jvab CALL +1 206 431-9696 Remember! Pacific Standard Time is 3 hours behind Eastern Standard Time. |
