I pulled up to autozone and had to take this pic. I consider the FD japans version of the corvette. I picked up some royal purple and changed the transmission fluid and diff fluid today.

Relocared my boost controller. It was in my glove compartment.

Oroginal part worn out. Replaced with new oem from Ray Crowe. Thanks Ray

New **** from Ray Crowe

I added the new oem r1 brake ducts. The car will be doing an autocross day very soon. The goal is to do a shake down and have some fun.

Milage recorded for trans and diff oil change. Getting her ready for the tail of the dragon 2022.

Looks awesome!! I have that same shifter!!! Still have the Pettit installed, but I have the same little shorty. I feel my throws are a bit long for it. I love how it looks so I may switch back and give it another shot.
I am on Royal purple for the motor and redline for the Tranny. Was considering switching tranny to Royal Purple on next change.
I am so upset I missed DGRR 2021. I was all set to go and at the last minute my work changed my off days. I could have made the last day, but figured it wasn't worth it. I may go up in July.
Your car is really looking good. Keep it up!

Oh yeah, I just received my Pineapple idler pulley!!!

That'll be sweet! if you go our Florida crew gets a cabin that sleeps 8 and then split the cost.
This years price for my son and I was only $98 for 3 nights... awesome price!
So keep that in mind if you wanna bunk with us
Great work on the upgrades!

When things dont go 100 percent t as planned

The goal of this day was to drive from Lake Nona to Melbourne Beach with a few of my rotard buddies. The trip is roughly 60 miles one way and there was a total of three Fd.taking the trip. On the way I got into the accelerator a little and at speed I saw my pvc front splitter go flying under the car. Damn it man!!! I stop at the first gas station to confirm that it was my front splitter. I removed the pieces of my front splitter that was left on the car and made it to the beach. On the way I got many thumbs up and i parked the Fd at the beach. I got some pizza and when i returned the car had a small crowd around the three fd. Many ask what car it was and some knew what they were looking at. I will attach some video and pictures of the trip soon. Brap rotards.

Very nice pics bro!
Sucks to hear about the front spoiler and gas door...but you can't enjoy her out on the road if she's a garage queen.
Hopefully if you cruise over to the Space Coast again, I'll be off work to meet up

I agree brother . like to drive my car. Keeping the car in the garage is not only boring but also bad for the car. I think got a little too excited on an open stretch of road and the pvc splitter just could not take it. The splitter was appearantly all show and no go. The next splitter will be made out of aluminium. Going to call LRB and see if they will fabricate one. For sure next time we take a cruise iI will give you a call in advance.

Thanks I am waiting for it to get really cold so I can stop driving it and install some suspension parts I have for it. I will be uploading more videos soon. The drive to Melbourne so far has been my favorite one. Next trip should be towards Tampa to a airplane museum. If you are in Fl and want to take the drive you are invited. The only thing I ask is to be respectful and down to earth.
