Topic: "Aveo at Buttonwillow catching BMW's? Godda be cheatin' hard core."
NO Bull $hit! Stock powered Chevy (AVI$ Race a Car) Aveo.
...passes BMW's often?
Cut springs
gutted interior
stock brakes including the rear DRUMS
Hawk pads in the front
stock tranny
stock shifter
stock gauges except for the oil pressure gauge and the ambient temp gauge up high
stock radiator
we added an oil cooler
tweaked the alignment
the red knob in the middle cuts off vacuum to the brake booster for those of us that like manual brakes
200 tread wear tires
stock rims
certainly added a cage and all the safety stuff
hood pins
still has working cat and OBD2 port with no check engine light
...and maybe a pretty OK driver!
HOWEVER...we have a problem finishing a race. The FRIGGIN' Dea-won't rear axle has teeny-tiny wheel bearings and they don't always last...dammit. This is a fun car to drive...when it's not howling from a crappy bearing.
Momentum is a terrible things to waste!!!
