Robin apparently I was wrong about the times at the last autocross.
You did get the 43.4 but I got mine a little backwards - it was 42.3 seconds and not 43.2.
So it was a full second of stompage instead of a 0.2 second stomping.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!


tires + suspension > V8 = rotary powah FTW

Well ****, I think I killed my right rear strut. It was raining and I couldn't see and I hit a rather high curb going about 5 mph. It's making weird noises when it hits bumps and the just isn't driving the way it was before hand. I sure hope it's something else. -sigh- ****.

pull the wheel off and the speaker cover off and inspect the area
you may have bent something
I really doubt you blew the strut, plus they have a lifetime warranty should it be blown they'll reimburse you for a new one
What the hell is it with you guys curbing your 7's?

its cause I'm blind as a damn bat, and it's worse when its raining and at night. I'm serious I didn't even see the damn curb. But yea it's making thumping noises when I hit small bumps in the road. And before you say its like very noticable bumps that only happen when the right rear hits a bump.

well drifting is a risk, and a risk that I take. Auto x is safer, and I'd like to get into it, but driftings a passion that comes with the risk of F'ing up your car.


whatever floats your boat

well I couldn't get the lugs off the tire but I looked up under there after I got it jacked up. It seemed there wasn't much damage however I was able to lift the tire up without there being much resistance from the strut. SO I can't tell if I blew the thing or not.
