Glad you liked it! I gained confidence from the save at 8:15, possibly too much confidence and that might have led me to push too hard at 19:25. Different corner, but both are left handers. If you live in North Carolina, I hear the Tarheel CCA chapter has good driving schools. In fact they're going to VIR February 24-26th, maybe again June 29-July 1.
Transmission mounts are UUC poly black with enforcer cups. I thought I might have broken one in the tank slapper, but they looked fine on Sunday when I was under the car. Will remove transmission brace later this week to verify that I didn't break a mount. Another possibility is I was just trying too hard to downshift in the middle of the turn and caught it on the reverse gate.
Going to be dropping $600 into my car on Friday. Stay tuned for more...

Since he said "dropping" instead of "spending" I'm led to believe he's doing something maintenance wise. I never use the word "dropping" for when I'm talking about mods :D
But today I was driving to school and I noticed I hear a little more road noise than I'm used to. It sounds like my drivers side window isn't up all the way.. I even played with it by putting the window down a little bit by quickly pressing the down switch and it (of course) gets louder. Could it be seals of some sort?
Classic e46 wind noise...

Agh, maybe since the roads were wet that was amplifying it. I just never remembered it being that loud..
I ordered Vanos seals! I already have the VCG, so I need to stop by the dealer and get the vanos gasket and oil line washers. I should be replacing everything next week. I'm also going to replace the DISA seal (since I found out I can get a matching one from autozone for $6)
