Message	If you have boost jets in, take them out. If you have a boost controller, turn it off. You don't need power - you need to learn how the car is going to respond. If you have the opportunity try and get a day of autocross under your belt with an instructor beforehand. It'll let you discover some things about the way your car behaves, and the only risks are bruises to your pride and those pesky cones. 1993 Ultra Red Z32 TT Convertible 2011 Electric Blue D40 1997 Cobalt Green S14 (project fun 2.0) The Z Car Club of Northern Virginia "boobies have power" - Bernie(NoVA)
