Re: Show us your Catera.

This was my 3rd autoX event- first one with new brakes and suspension. What better wway to test it ?! Tires are becoming the weakest link, but another set of stock wheels is awaiting traction worthy tires. Taking a fast turn on the street, the weight of the car does not overwhelm the rear end and one tire. I can break those tires lose like you wouldn't believe it. I can do a slide on all 4 wheels, not just the back end spinning out.It has become (or I have made it, shall I say) an absolute blast to drive on the streets, it is much street-friendlier. Low-end torque is better, passing at city limits takes place in overdrive and rarely in 4th gear, as opposed to downshifting to 3rd or 2nd. I have better brakes, more responsive suspension and I think the car looks pretty good. I am not done with it yet.
Here's a low quality video that a friend of mine managed to take
