Re: '91 318iS slow/daily build

So, at the last autoX the tech inspector didn't like my battery mounting solution, which was nothing thanks to a PO.:dontknow:So he made Kyle and I come up with the solution of about 5 zip ties to fix it. I forgot to take a pic of it but let me assure you, it was rather ghetto looking. I've since upgraded to a new OEM assembly for the battery tie down screw and also replaced the broken battery tray. I'm not sure what broke it, but it was either battery acid or the battery bouncing loosely in there for a while...

As a side note, is that hose from the sunroof?? It was loose like that and I replaced it into the little holder.

The hole under the tray was a little gross and wet from that drain(?) hose BUT rust free!

AUTOX!!!


PCA was the host again so more Porsche porn!:wink:

IN GRID
I was in the second run group and we all got one run in and it starting POURING for about 5 minutes then the sun came out! It was really good that I got to drive in the wet because in WA it is continuously raining. (Or so it seems!) I had an instructor ride with me on my first run in the wet and he said that I was doing really well controlling the car and keeping from spinning. I need to learn how to brake later and steer earlier/ set up for the corner sooner.







My instructor was like "come take a ride with me in my car so I can show you late apexing." I follow him over to this row of Porsches and he gets in the yellow 996 GT3! It was so fast it wasn't even funny! It wasn't fair how he could lay down the power in the rain when the 30 just goes sideways!:rofl1: That burgundy 993 has what he called a "supercup" motor and it had a beautiful lope when idling.
