OK, new update on the car. One of these days I'll get some detailed pics posted. Maybe after I wash the car.

So now the following are done:
Koni yellows
New axles (replacing CV joint that was bad)
Centric rotors
Hawk HP+ pads
ARP studs in front

Also cleaned the hub flanges and calipers so they look purtee

I figured out I wired the wrong wire from my wideband to the firewire cable for the SCT3. Resoldering it tomorrow, then trying to get the datalogging done so I can finally get the car tuned.

Found a vacuum leak that needs to be fixed, and maybe I can finally get the tuning done on the car. Thinking of getting the H&R race springs this week too.

Decided to step it up, Kumho V710s are now mounted on the autox wheels, have to admit I'm a little excited.

Going to get it on a course this year? Pictures when you do please.

I have 95% confindence I'll be running it at our 2 day event at the Michelin Proving grounds this upcoming weekend. I'll post pictures for sure.

Luckily for me, Jinx Jordan and Geoff Z. are running in Pro class for this event. Both of these guys have nationally prepped FSP cars. Jinx runs a early '90s civic, and Geoff runs a '79 VW rabbit, both are spec'd out to the rules, and have placed decently at nationals.

^^^I plan on being there Saturday, hopefully you are able to run the project car. I'll bring my camera and try to get some shots... although its hard with that huge track. So do you already have the springs and tires and all that on it?

Alright, I'm like a month behind, but here's some pic's from our event in July:













Late apex...

Nice pics, how did you place?

First in class, not a lot of FSP competition. I consider the car completely unsorted as it is right now, but I was the most prepped FSP car there. This is of course excluding 2 of the guys that run in our Pro class with FSP cars.

I was 4 to 4.5 seconds off thier pace on a 60 second course, so I have a lot of work to do on my driving and the car. Of course both of these guys are excellant drivers, and I would expect to see them both trophy at nationals this year. Gives me a good target to get myself faster though.
