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.

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 .

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

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 .

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

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 .
