Yea, regardless of how hard you push the car if you're going to be doing any mods suspension mods are a must. Forget all the haters...

Well this guy is notorious for giving his $5 worth of an opinion. Unfortunately, he's the only person I can talk parts with since he's my office mate and he's into motorcycles so he at least knows what I'm talking about. I'm still doing it. I WANT to push the car but I'd rather do it when I know I CAN.

Easily solution. Laugh off his comments, talk to us about the mods you want, show up at work with your new mods and let him envy you.

You can! I work with a guy who is also an autocross instructor... He encouraged me to take my old Tiburon out. I was a little reluctant (though mainly because I don't like to get up before the sun, and those events always start gawd-awful early), and he told me that people often tell him that "my car can't do that!" But actually they can! Even a beat-up old Nissan Sentra can be pushed. You just have to know the car's limits, and know your own limits as a driver. The best place to find those out is on a track, of course...

I definitely need a driving day on a track! As JARblue suggested, I'll be taking a class at Driveway Austin as soon as possible.

Ok OFC members, enough with financial advice. While appreciated, this has turned into the Days of Tracie's Life. LOL

Check his bike for chicken strips and then bust his balls about not pushing his bike.

Did you check your coworker's bike for chicken strips?

He didn't ride it in today.

LunaZ · 05-10-2012, 12:18 PM

Then he's definitely not pushing it hard enough.
