• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

It would be badass to get another heated seat switch and put it where your switch is. Make a decal that goes over the seat picture of a light like the high beams sign. Then wire lights up accordingly to low and high. Could be half of them on low, then the other half come on on high. Or bumper lights to low and roof lights to high
 
I think your good to go. I drove my 00 GT all over dirt roads in high school going way too fast and it held up great. I re-routed the parking brake cable to run to the center console and added a lever to it. Popped out the shifter position indicator plastic then the lever went through and was good for " rip'n the E " haha. This was in Montana were half the roads are dirt and the rest were gravel.
 


Well had my first race last saturday. Went well, way too much understeer though and without a hand brake I'm not sure how eliminate that issue.
 
Not a you with a manual, somebody did a handbrake setup with their manual swap. Pointing you to something that may prove to be useful
 


Ah gotcha, on our course there is a near U-turn hairpin that I wish I could slide it on, on all my laps I just had to brake and go slow.
 
Its my swap you were thinking of with the hand e-brake. Lever and cable from a Grand Am/Alero.

Left foot braking would help you a lot, press your brakes with the left foot while you press the gas with the right, your rear tires will lock up but the engine will overpower the front brakes and the car will rotate.

Also, PULL YOUR ABS FUSE!!!!

And you could remove your front sway bar to help decrease understeer.
 
I meant this..

Yep, FWD cars tend to understeer, but you can overcome that with left foot braking.

And a handbrake would be easy enough to do. Follow the info you were given ^^ a couple posts up, which also told you how to left foot brake too.

It's all about having some level of control over a sloppy jalopy. On sway..I'd just pull the endlinks. That way it's an easy reconnect if you want if working.

ripp'n E's is never the fastest way through a corner.. Taking it slow and smooth is always going to win out verses some hoontastic garbage. If you have an overpowered awd car with some legit tires I may suggest otherwise, but even then it wouldnt be wrong to take it easy and clean in an awd car.

The great thing about FWD is you can use the front end traction to motor you around a corner slightly if you have a crummy entry point, trying to yaw the rear around with loss of traction is not really going to do much for you other than cost you tons of momentum.
 
You guys know this is dirt right? Not tarmac. And the camry looked a lot quicker through this turn than me cause he essentially went in a higher speed, did a hand brake turn and slide the back end around all while keeping the front wheels spinning through it and getting on the power sooner than me. He could just be a better driver than me though.

Looking fast is usually not actually fast.
