Chronumn's R2 Build
#27
I'll throw in a little update to the thread, I've hardwired my fuel pump, and broke my oil temp sensor before my first track day last weekend. So I didn't make it considering my car had no oil in it. Hoping to have new wheels and tires mounted next weekend. Still on the search for 99 spec combo lights and lip so I can get mine painted and installed. Also on the lookout for a spoiler and a new exhaust. Retune will be coming once I get a wideband installed on the car.

Showed my brakes some love with some fresh paint and a new sticker since the last one was all torn up. Plan on cleaning up that nasty corrosion this weekend since I won't have centercaps anymore.

I would love a big APR GTC-300 but I'll probably end up with a 99 spec. The brakes had been on the car before I got it, then removed to sell the car. I bargained with the previous owner to include them in the sale. However they were off the car so I just had to reinstall them. They are a nice piece that will help at the track / autox days.

You know.. that's a good question. The clubs that I've run with haven't posted any future event dates. I'm trying to make it to a track day at Homestead and Sebring very soon, I'm trying to become and instructor. Missing Sebring this weekend since I won't have tires on my car in time. However I would love to meet up and do an autox with you, I know they have one in Ft Myers at the airfield there which I've heard is a lot of fun and my buddies have been wanting to go.

Rpf1's mounted up, here are some quick shots. I want to lower the car a little to close up the gap. If I can get the collars to unlock on the coils. Also I want to point out this is currently on not rolled fenders, with a two finger gap on the 255/40 Hankook RS3' (9.6" Tread Width) on the 17x10 +38 RPF1.

Recaro has landed! In my car...
Also lost my original key so that was an excuse to pick up an efini one(my miata cameo in the back). Wideband finally purchased now it's time to install.

And here are some pictures while I was bored this long weekend. I guess I was not bored enough to wash my car though. I just placed an order on some Stoptech street pads because my current pads are literally ridiculous for road use, those will stay off the car until they are needed. It's really quick and easy to change the pads. This should save my wheels from an untimely death due to brake dust.

I have a few more things I'd like to accomplish before I make it to a track day. A medium size intercooler, 2nd oil cooler, complete restoration brake job and bearings, racing seat and finally a tune. I'm not sure if my potenzas RE-11s are up for the laps either. But for now it's autocross for me. My location is awkward to not travel to different autocross events around central Florida. So it its over 2 hours away, I make it a two day overnight stay for me and my fiancé . Saturday we'd normally arrive early morning to the city and go for a cruise and visit various shops and restaurants. Then the event happens on Sunday to have some fun.
