Getting into the VIR mood... even though I'm still #2 on the waitlist...

Roger @ CA · 11-12-2007, 07:21 PM

Marc let me know today that I'm #2 on the waitlist for the beginner group, but i've been steadily working on some track mods. I have so many uncompleted mods sitting around in their raw material state that I decided to finally get these out of the way. The silver ones still need their mounting tabs, but the black ones are ready to go into their perspective car ;-)

Designed to save all the weight from my 20lb headlamp housings (2 xenon kits + custom bodywork = heavy)

For track use only. 3.5" velocity stack will connect to an extra inlet on the custom intake thats in the works.

Oh, and while I was looking through pics from this summer... my homeless alter ego in DC... Sounds like he'd be good for some Rock Bottom ;-) (Audi Content: Note the european side mirror)

Check with the 'powers' but you might need turn signals (although I don't see why...you have a working left hand); the on-site checklist includes "brake lights, signals'. Just wondering myself.

You'll still be able to learn a lot even w/ OEM turn signals. :-P

If it ain't modded, it's not on Roger's car.

pointing the direction to go (since that's what a point-by is) or is it the direction that the car being passed/giving the signal is going to go (since that was a turn signal on the street is)? If the latter (which is what I think it means), it's the opposite of the hand/arm point-by and, therefore, confusing to see while others are doing the normal point-bys. And, in split second decision making moment, it's not something I want to have to actually think about.

I saw it my first time at the MidOhio ACNA event in 2004. I had no idea wtf he was doing. I didn't see a stop sign or traffic light, nor did I see lane lines painted -- so wtf? I thought maybe he just bumped it, but...nope...others were doing it too. Is it something the ACNA teaches in the beginners groups? I don't agree with it.

Bottom line: if you do need them, you should only need the rear ones for their rule.
