Default AutoX'ing in the Rain

Went auto crossing yesterday even though it was raining most of the time.

Overall still had a great time and learned a few things about driving in the rain.

Nothing major done to the ITR. Full bushing replacement for suspension, koni yellow on stock springs, front and rear oem tower bars.

Here is a vid of my 3rd run, it was my fastest and got me 2nd place.

I have another vid posted in my channel with my first run.(didnt do so great)

Can't see the vid, But, I love autoxing in the rain. Much more fun with lots of wheel spining and sliding.

I hate autoxing in the rain (in an ITR).

1) On a national level, AWD cars are in both DS and STX.

2) To make the ITR a great handling car in the dry (in STX), it will then suck @ss in the wet. Everything needs to be drastically softened for the rain.

Here are a few more from past events. Will soon tear the whole interior apart and upgrade to coilovers. Get the car corner balanced....etc.

Enjoy! Watch in 1080p for best quality.

This is actually a very interesting view. It's a fantastic illustration of just how much the unibody flexes during hard cornering. Really cool to see the door moving in and out like that. Thanks...
