The benzo was Carl's (jung4g) friends. It was all road race pimped out. I'm sure he has other pics of it. That thing pulled up and I had a flashback of the British touring car race on Speed channel last week.
nah, just kidding. I don't have cable.

The pictures are awesome!!!!!!!! That lip on my dad's car (Sikocivic) is a Jetta lip, its like 93-97 Jetta I believe. Its not an exact fit, you do have to do some trimming on the sides (the jetta lip is to long), but other than the radius is perfect. Anywho, The HMT Meet pretty sweet, good times. Can't wait for the next one Steve!
P.S. WHere are the pic of my car??

Murdoc,
the Benz is my buddy's car. He's a Mercedes Tech and built that for Road Race as Steve said.
It's a 1986 190E with the 2.3l 16v Cosworth motor. This is basically the car Mercedes came out with to compete with the M3. The Evo and Evo II versions in Europe were sick as ----. That motor puts out 180 stock. We have a spare head at the head shop right now being shaved and getting full port work done. He's got a Remus muffler on the back and a AMG intake. Overall the car is a lot of fun, even though it is an Auto. The manuals are hard to find for one, and as road racing is all about suspension and grip he's usually only beaten by our buddy's FD (full race prep, the car holds the class record for Laguna Seca) and a few other high dollar race cars. In it's previous form (less rubber, small brakes, etc), there was a CRX with ITR swap that gave him a run for his money, but he should be good this year.
The interior is stripped, has a Sparco Evo Pro as the driver's seat, a Sprint as the passenger, full custom cage by a local, a Sparco front strut brace, AMG front 4-piston brakes of a 400E with Frozen Rotors, H&R Cup Kit, and Yokohama A032Rs 225/50-15 (Hard Compound) on Borbets. I ridden in the car at BIR and entering a turn at 125 with the gas to the floor through the turn is quite an experience. It's not super fast off the line, but on the track it's killer.
I'll get some more pics up later as I'm at work right now
