Hey man, check this site out for when autocrosses are happening! http://planet-torque.com/sche.php I used to autocross my 1990 Jetta, but now I autocross my buddy's 1991 CRX from time to time. I've raced with the SCCA, Salt Creek Sports Car Club, Chicago VW Org, etc and it's a ton of fun and...

Yeah dude, that looks good! There was another dude too, I think he has Gold Rota GT3s now.

I remember seeing a while back a photo of either a white or silver Protege ES lowered on stock wheels that were painted black. Could the owner please post it? I thought it looked quite sick.(rockon)

Thanks for the responses all. That sounds right. Definitely not the stereo, I had that problem in my Jetta and I had to do was replace a few grounds.

Thans for the feedback guys.

Well sir, she's a 1990 VW Jetta 8-valve. Currently I need to de-tune the engine by swapping in a stock cam, and it also has a clutch/flywheel problem that I need to figure out and fix. Once that's done, I plan to have my Bilstein Sports re-valved so they can tolerate 500 lb. springs and go...

It turned out to fair pretty well. - The front tires needed A LOT of pressure to keep from rolling too much, 45 pounds -/+ - the sportshift autotragic was pretty terrible. off the line no dice, and when I shifted to 2nd the RPMs dropped waaay low. I will say though that the 1st gear is...

100% backed.

I've got the same issue. My endlinks are brand-new, installed right before I bought it 2 weeks ago, it has to be one of the rear struts doing something.

This probably isn't a big deal, but I've noticed that when I rev past 3k RPMs there's a distinct whistle type of sound. I have the sportshift 4-speed. What could this be, if it is indeed trans-related?

I'm normally not a fan of camo, but that looks sweet. I also didn't know an MX6 could look so good! Definitely autox it too!

Great place, nice photos! I gotta make it up there this Summer.

x2 on the Toyo Proxes 4s. They've surprised me in the dry and wet, however I'm not sure how they'll do in the snow. I have Nitto NT450s on my 90 Jetta and they also do pretty well, however they weren't that great in the snow. The tire reviews on tirerack.com seem to be accurate, check those...
