Title: 2013 Performance Driving School
Post by: JeremyB on March 21, 2013, 11:22:16 PM
After 4 or 5 years, I'm finally going to be able to take the T-bird to the local Performance Driving School.

Won't be able to make the Sunday Auto-X though :(

I'm really curious how the this mismatched sumbitch drives! I've got 275 lb coilovers on the front. Stock rear. Should understeer like a bulldozer! Hope the AOD doesn't rearrange to DOA!

An introductory price to get you hooked on the go-fast crack pipe!

She got hungry and ate a head gasket on the second skidpad run. Made it 262k miles.
Accord in for the backup.
Now both foxes are down. :(

Ugh, at least you brought back-up!

Planned upgrades for this car? I know the other car's SP is in progress

At least she went out having fun, as opposed to driving to work. :)

Haha, yeah. I had a good time in the Accord. Understeering pig! Didn't get enough runs to start and try left foot braking to get it rotating.

Results are here:

They'll be overwritten once the next event is run.

I'm still trying to figure out the plan on the T-bird and Cougar. Not a big deal to throw some new head gaskets on the bird, but it also needs a timing cover reseal. And after those things, the engine still has 262k miles!

I'll start a thread and try and get some input from yous guys.
