Agreed, but it's getting the new Fullrace Acropolis for RallyCross:



15x6.5" ET 35 all round with 12mm spacers in the rear. For autocross we will initially run the 16" BZ



as we'll be using the Dunlop Direzza in 205 and 225 to stay in street tire classes. When the car moves up then maybe 17" BZ will be the way to go.

Rather than paint over the beautiful black and anodized finish of the BZ I have this silly idea to do a vinyl wrap on them, initially in School Bus Yellow while the car is red then white once we go to SC/RS look. Anyone ever tried this?

Woke up to a nice shiny (not) new car in my drive. Time to check it over and take it for a test drive.




Uh oh! Everything was looking good till we took a 90 right at a light. There was a loud BANG from the rear. We pulled over and found the rear suspension collapsed! The left a little more than the right. Great. Now I have another broken car.






We only put 3 miles on it before this happened and were going really slow the whole way .



What do you think, broke a torsion bar?


Could this have been a contributing factor?



Didn't expect to be doing this today




Disconnected the rear anti roll bar and I can move the left rear wheel up with little resistance. Can't move the right side so left torsion bar must be broken or out of its socket.

Left side is green end. Right side has a cap on it. Does this look right?





I guess it's still safe to drive till September 13th, at least in Virginia.
