Default Not a domestic but I thought that I would share

Yeah, I'm a FNG on LS1TECH but I'm an avid AutoX'r, RallyX'r, lap day guy, and just a gear head in general. I thought that I would share some low quality pics of a couple of my cars. If anyone is ever running in the Red River Region of Louisiana drop by and say hello.




My 08' 135i that I experimented in DS with. (Ended up just throwing a tune and a couple of bolt on's on the car and not AutoX'ing it)



Here's my wife running GSL in our 09' Civic SI (I'm actually running a full season of GS in it this year)

The SI usually PAX's pretty well and is pretty competitive locally in GS. The only other car that I've ever had issues competing against was an R-spec Genesis on r-comps (I'm on Star Specs).

There is something to be said for being easy to drive right up to the limit. Those cars are so well balanced that they inspire confidence in even novice drivers. I wish every manufacturer had the same philosophy as BMW about creating drivers' cars from the top to the bottom of their line-up.

The 135 turned into a straight line and traveling car for me. The staggered factory setup and narrow fender wells didn't allow an aggressive enough fitment to put the power down. It made 397/435 on a Dyno-Jet in Colorado with a 91/e85 mix.

The best pass that the car made was a 12.5 @ 112 while on worn Sumitomo Chinese tires.

Nice power numbers for being in CO, I'm impressed.
