I have been working on my car these past couple of days rigorously - it is starting to pay off
  • Fixed overheating issue
  • Modified front fenders
  • 50mm spacer up front
  • Super angle kit installed
  • Wangles installed
  • New rear wheel





My roll cage has also been finished - and I am happy with the result










A project is never done, much more to come

Safety first

I went to to U Drift last night to test and tune the car, I am happy with the results and yet there are still more things to do.



I will be trying my best @ round 3 - lets have some fun

So round 3 of pro am's have come and gone.

I crashed pretty hard - I blacked out and went to hospital. I turned out ok, but I don't remember anything yet.

I laid down a nice conservative 1st run - and it landed me in first.

But after that, I remember talking in the pits, and then I don't remember anyting afterwards.

I did this though



So off to round 4 I go, I have another car and I will be swapping parts over.

everything is a learning experience

Oh - I also had the fastest entry speed - 82 mph

It was a pretty crazy crash.

I was out in the pits so I lost sight of you past the first turn.

You were hauling *** through it. Then we heard the thud. I guess one of my friends in the stands has video of it. Waiting on them to post it.

that would be awesome, I have not even seen it yet - I seriously do not remember what I did.

A lot of my friends were saying it had to be some mechanical failure because "I wouldn't do that" but I think they were just being nice.

when we were standing on grid it honestly looked like a brake line snapped we all saw your lights come on but nothing slow down/smoke/anything.

i was having the same issue with my brake booster vacuum line blowing off/brakes going stiff but i know when we messed with your spindles i wasnt there to check your hard lines going to the front calipers when you threw them on.....

before you pull parts lets check out the car. it might be repairable @ spring mountain auto body. if so it would be alot cheaper than building a new cage and if they get it back to 100% straight we can swap your red cars subframes into it, and make sure it's all straight. you could have a dedicated missile thrash car for the rest of the year.

This is what happens when you do work and don't take any pictures of it.

Everything gets transferred over and a new car looks clean.
