1st Place AGAIN after Buschur Reflash and parts upgrade
Just took back to back 1st Place wins at Porsche Club Autocross. Got 1st last month and got 1st this month (yesterday.) It was another 4th gear all out course with hairpins and a full 360 degree circle acting as the skid pad. My EVO MR won with over a 3 second margin.......HUGE!!!! As usual, a few good racers made it a real competition....and yes, there were several other Porsches and the Trans-AM WS6 club came out too.....they were all 400hp cars but they were 20 seconds off my winning time!!!!!! 2nd place was a BMW 318i with full M3 conversion motor, suspension, brakes, and race set up.
Thanks to Buschur and Jarrod for their 24hr turnaround on my ECU, next day shipping on my Cucso strut bars and 48hr shipping on my T-bolts, and mass air pipe kit.
When your car is at the shop and you have a race coming up, it's unbelievable the peace of mind you have knowing a vendor can deliver!
Okay, VIDEO! I got a link up and running for the previous months video recorded outside the car showing my MR going throug a turn. I don't have the link yet, but will post today when I find out where it is.
I got IN CAR VIDEO of my winning run yesterday. I will hope to get this posted ASAP. Give me a week. I will post a new thread for these vids when I get the links so you all won't miss.
In the mean time, I need to sell all my MR OEM parts I have collected:
- MR springs, rear torsion bar, air box, battery holder, turbo back exhaust, IC pipes, BOV, lower control bars, whatever else....PM me if you want.

Thanks all. And I am sorry for no video yet. I am just not going to talk about it anymore. I thought it would be easy to post stuff like that. If and when, I will post thread. My new in-car camera makes it really fun.
Headed to TWS this next weekend. That should be some fun In-Car!!!!!

Well,
The BMW guy with the 318i hatchback with a full M3 motor swap along with M3 suspension, brakes, and ECU tricks was PISSED BIG TIME. Until I started showing back up, he always got the FTD...Fastest Time of Day...for all you newbies. Usually at these events, you cheer on all your friends and competitors. But this BMW guy didn't say a word. And what's worse, he bad mouthed me to the shop I am doing my upgrades through....saying I am a customer they have to watch out for etc...... When the shop told me these things...I left a voicemail asking the BMW guy to please drop the highschool act and bring his problems to the track next month. Never heard back from him. One guy like this can easily take away from all the fun. He was just pissed. What do you do with guys like this.
The Porsche guys were all impressed and fun as always! Porsche guys appreciate great cars. And, the AWD systems have been in Porsches Fleet a long time. They were great....even after winning again at their event!
However, the event coordinator, a Porsche Guy, is in cahoots with the BMW guy and they are really building a negative wall between me and the other members.
Have any of you heard the saying, "It's lonely at the top?" I finally know what that means. Because I am winning all the time (including past two years in different cars Z06 & 944 Turbo) nobody cheers for me. They all want a different winner to break the cycle. I am sure it's just fun, but I miss all the cheering for ME. Ha!
