Go for it. We'll be cheering from the sidelines!

These stock bushings are total pieces of junk and I recommend they be the first thing you change if you drive your car hard.
I have shocking steering on my car, albeit I am 20D s drive.

I see you mentioned getting any thing E9X X drive for an X drive X1, will this be the same I can get upgrade bushings from any E9X S drive model??

Thanks

Well, I just registered for One Lap of America. Going to be co-sponsoring the car with my company and Turn In Concepts. Turn in is a veteran racing shop and has done One Lap twice before (including a #4 overall and Rookie of the Year win) and will be building three cars for One Lap including mine this year. They also had a car at Pikes Peak that did very well this year. My co-driver will be one of their two owners.

We have big plans and will be going for not just class win (they put us in the SUV category lol), but an overall top 10. Pure turbo stage 2, in-house carbon aero, triple adjustable remote canister coilovers, etc. Once we get our sponsors straightened out and some work on the car done, I will probably make a separate thread to make it easier to follow.

I also purchased a powered 4g cell booster and we plan on live streaming all of the racing events so people can watch along. We will also be bringing a pro photographer along to document and do a blog update everyday.

I can't wait...now comes the hard part, setting the car up in time for April.
