After replacing the Hose , I went on and installed the oil cooler in its new home ,and used duct tape to make well a duct since the oem duct was long gone . HAHA ironic this is the first time i've used duct tape to make a duct

 

Due to some issues , tomorrow we will begin with fixing that bumper to fender gap its honestly driving me nuts.. I know its not like its a show car , but still bugs me .. haha

 

Well got the fd finished it was a pain getting all the tubes right seems they got bent when.they got shipped from japan and they were shearing so I had to rebend things make sure nothing was rubbing

Then I moved onto the bumper cut some slits so the oil cooler ducts would slip in and adjusted re drilled some holes so the bumper itself could move backwards and here are the results its no shocar quality again but not to bad concidering how it was before


And really gotta thank my dad for giving.me a hand with it all .

 

Ordered the banzai Racing Power FC commander holder . Waiting for it to arrive hopefully it will get here before this weekend as There is a two day auto-x event in sebring i would like to attend . and the commander holder would make things a bit easier without having to tape it in place with duct tape haha.

 

How do u like the Pfc and do u tune it yourself?

 

honestly I love the PFC I'm very happy with it . its simple and easy to use and yes I do tune it myself but its very tedius , I do small adjustments on the commander almost every day . and when the datalogit is hooked up I do the same with it .

I also joined the Yahoo PFC tuning group which has helped quite a bit . in the learning department

 

So I had an auto cross event this last weekend , honestly it was just one of those days where I drove like crap ! , Normally i'd post a video regardless but I messed up and didnt have any space to record.


I also got the banzai racing power FC commander holder honestly that was a dissapointment its very flimsy and vibrates all the time . also I think I installed it to far forward so my thumb hits it when ever I use the Ebrake May need to do some reworking .

 

My best run from autocrossing this past weekend car was honestly behaving great

 

After did went and did another event , which the car was tailhappy if driven hard .

tried removing the rear swaybar . which helped but still not there .


SO I went ahead and got a racing beat front sway . might of gone a bit overboard with the stiffness though


This is a video of an event after the swaybar

 

After doing some adjustments inbetween runs I finally got the car pretty well setup



ended up doing very well 11th / 90 in raw time

 

I had one event after that which I won my class for the first time But no video for that didnt have a camera


after that had a small accident.. ended up with a dent on my door after losing control of the car so car is now in a bodyshop getting door fixed , and a few other things .

 

Its Been such a long time Since I Posted on this .. Many things have happened ... And I guess maybe its time to start up dating! . tons of pictures and updates may be on the way along with some videos haha

 

Fresh paint ... cant beat that shinyness Also Since It was getting some surgury done I decided to Replace the Roof Panel , Ordered a new one from RAY.

AND YAY! No more sunroof!

 

Next step was fix the Wheels... Green wheels ... Just didn't go to well with the new Painted Look .

 

After This it was Time For my FIRST TRACK DAY!

Arrival @ sebring



The FIrst Event , Honestly was NOT as fun as I had hoped .. Just about everything was wrong with the car . I WAS NOT PREPARED!




The FIrst Event , Honestly was NOT as fun as I had hoped .. Just about everything was wrong with the car . I WAS NOT PREPARED!

Car Overheated after 5 minutes Temps were way in the 100's brakes overheated just as fast was getting pedal to the Floor . in the very first sessions THis was despite Turning the Boost down to as low as it would go .

 

Video Of sebring It wasnt Exactly my or the car's best moment haha But still .

 

It had gotten nearly over heated saw 108C once or twice . But IT SURVIVED!!

and I was determined to come back and with a vengence!

 

And SO it started ..

New Brakes /, brake fluid , Replaced The Old HPS Pads for some Hawk Black's in the front , and Hawk HP+ in the rears Replaced the old Super BLue Fluid with RBF 600.

Relocated My Front mount IC to a stock mount location

 

Obviousloy the stock Duct wasnt exactly Going to do the trick..... So I upgraded to a Pettit Duct And added a Fan to help some Flow for the IC during traffic and slower speeds

 

Paint looks sick bro. What bumper is that?

 

its a Scoot Replica

 

Great stuff out on Sebring and good call relocating that FMIC to SMIC. Your next track day will be a lot better without having to worry about water temp and brake fade. Only problem you'll have to worry about is getting addicted

Car looks awesome with the new paint job

Can't wait to see your next track day footage - have fun out there

 

All this stuff was from last year . Sebring was June 2014 I should Probably put a timeline on things as a reference ! LOL

 

Apparently My brakes caught on fire... This was my first autocross since removing the front mount , was trying everything out make sure it actually worked .

engine temps were good.. But according to some people .. My brakes were on FIIRRE!!

yeah it was actually just my new race pads getting bedded in .

 

THIS IS WHY I CANT HAVE NICE THINGS!!

new paintjob Lasted all of like 3 months before I ruined IT !!


car might of been under-steering a tiny bit.. I apologize there is some choice language... in the vid. First run ofthe day .. and I made a big mess...
