yeap that was me... thats what happens when the last time i went to pbir was 4 years ago(still moroso), let alone the last time i used the track there was 5 years ago... didnt expect the track to be sooo sticky... After its fixed i want to try auto crossing. Mayyyybe before i go single ill see what i do without dumping the clutch, just roll off the line ( like i should have to begin with)

A friend of mine with stock twins at about 12 psi's best run was doing high 13s. so i think i would of done (with a good start) low 13s, mid to high 12s

Directions seem simple enough.. Also, my FD is a 94 so I don't need to strap it in place, it locks in with the tabs according to the directions and emails I received from the designer....

Just got back home from a vacation and started on my wire tuck experiment.

I was close to being done with tucking the passenger side relays under the headlights, until I realized I forgot to put the expansion tank back on and now I gotta start all over again

Got backed into by a sketchy dude who told the cops he couldn't hear or see my car. Mind you its straight piped with an apexi n1 exhaust. Cop asked me to turn the car on and told the man he could give me a ticket for how loud it was so there was no way he didn't hear me. lulz
