First I'd like to thank all the people on this site as I would know nothing about car care without it. Heck I'd be probably be taking my car to a drive thru wash! I lurked here forever before I started posting. This site is one of the best learning tools one could have when it comes to car care. Thanks Again!



I FINALLY got around to uploading some pics of the car to post on here. I resized them to make them friendly to people on slower connections. Products used are Zaino and P21S.

Hope you like...

Time for some autocrossing! Thanks to Joel (driver of the Silver s2k) for taking the first one and to fellow autocrosser Ron Conrad for the 2nd.

nice pictures of nice work on a nice car. :p and i wish i was as gutsy to take my car to the track. it's scary enough driving it on the regular roads, worrying about flying rocks and crazy drivers!
 
Thanks for the kind words guys!

Great backdrops...now if you can just talk those Jaguar's girls into posing with it...:)



I bet that would cost a lot more than I'm willing to spend on any stripper right now :D

Hirosh, I honestly feel safer on the track than I do any freeway here in Vegas :) On the track people look for you and see you coming or you usually see them coming unlike crazy soccer moms in SUVs flying by me at 90+ mph or trying to run me over.



If your worried about the rocks you could get a good bra to help protect your front :)



As long as your track with the right pepple it's actually very safe and a lot of fun. I personally love to run with www.speedventures.net You just have to start slow and build your comfort zone. Concentrate on the basics, not cutting fast laps when you first get out to an event and you'll be amazed at how safe it is and how much fun it is. Maybe even try autocrossing first just to some basics on car control and such. You'll be glad you did and it's much safer than going out and playing on the street :xyxthumbs

heh heh, you're right, being on a track is much safer because other drivers are aware of you and watch out for you, unlike the regular roads where drivers do anything but pay attention to driving.



but thanks for the advice. i might just have to try autocrossing to see just what my Mach1 can do. :D

Just curious....why did you make an X over your headlights with painters tape?



1. It helps against chips from rocks



2. A lot of times when your following cars with slicks or something or someone drops a wheel off right in front of you rocks get kicked up. In case any big rocks gets kicked up and hit one of my headlights and the glass breaks, the tape will help keep larger pieces of glass from falling onto the track and causing a hazard to other cars on the track. It's been years since I've heard of it happening but it's a very simple measure just in case. Safety first :xyxthumbs



I've heard of a few groups require you to tape the whole headlight but haven't ran with any of them yet.

well the tape will help the headlight stay somewhat together, so that those expensive hid lights to break (MONEY!!)
