Interesting when you bump up the rwhp in these cars beyond about 400, stuff starts breaking left and right

Rhys stomped the field with a car probably making mo more than about 320 rwhp

I have both front and rear. The car felt pretty stable and planted, no excessive oversteer.

I've been playing with photoshop, I still suck.... It used to be full color but when I loaded the image in PS this is what came up on the screen


The blue flag was actually for the Mercedes behind Mr. Goodfella

That was a white C63 AMG...... I would've been safer with him in front of me, during the third session he lost his brakes and almost rear ended me. A few turns later he went off course. We had a little chat later and he apologized and told me he had less than 20% of his brake pads left

My new emblem....... in attempting to remove the rectangular efini emblem, the damn clearcoat started to lift, so I guess I'm stuck with it. Also a shot from DGRR, my car along with the Scrubmobile and the FD killer (it has STi internals).

curious as to what #2 in the photo is connected to?

I'm guessing #1 is the wastegate/boost gauge but .. #2? Is this some sort of oil blow-by setup?

Line #2 is hooked to the oil injectors, just as they are on a stock FD. He may have changed the configuration since that picture though.

#1 is probably routed to his wastegate. That's how mine is .

#2 is for the OMP injectors vacuum source and/or catch can. I've got one line for each off of my air filter inlet.
