Hello from the middle of the mid west

Hello, I live in Wyoming (yes it's a real place not just a government project) and I own a slightly modified r53 6 speed than is a ton of fun to auto-cross.
Also I am currently trying to fix a weird check engine issue related to an o2 sensor and a made a forum for that already so if you can help me it would basically much appreciated!

My auto-cross number mirrored, didnt notice it untill the guy ahead if me asked if it was intentional when he saw it in his rear view.

All of the gen 1 R53's are good, but the 05/06's are great! Better six speed transmission too!

My only complaint is the limitaions of fwd. It's a great car but it's kind of a bummer that I have to pick between spinning tires all the time or the overly aggressive traction control kicking back REALLY hard every time I try to take off quick.
