Still more prep...

Like most projects, it's just never quite finished.  Jeff sourced a variety of different spring rates from one of our sponsors, Dobinson's Springs.  They arrived last week, and we've decided to put some slightly stiffer springs to the rear of the car.  Hopefully, this will allow us to quit using excessive damping as a crutch to provide more rear stiffness.  Of course, Jeff's going out of town this weekend, so we're going to have to get together some evening this week to swap out the rear springs.

In other news, the BMW Club's Car Control Clinic was a great success.  We had a good time sharing some of our experience with the students (mostly teens), and they all had a good time learning... and hopefully learned some things that will help them in the future.  We had the opportunity to drive the V on an autocross style course during lunch, and the new flywheel is AWESOME!  The car has always pulled hard in 2nd gear, but it digs out of a slow 2nd gear turn like it's nothing now... even with two extra passengers in the back seat!
