on the other hand, buck.... do you have straight piped exhaust? you guys got me considering that now. listning to the audio on these videos now i see why people keep asking me what motor i have, the sound doesnt really represent rotary too much. maybe it is the turbo airing out noise, but some dude asked me if i had a 2j in it the other day, i was like wtf?

i guess the presilencer and muffler kill the scream.
yea man your car was entirely too quiet. when i couldnt hear it on the gopro footage, i was like, wait.... a.... minute.......... that thing's too quiet!

all last year i had a trust stainless 3" downpipe directly to some horrible crush bent exhaust shop $40 2.5" straight exhaust with ebay canister at the end.

with just the downpipe my car was sick. but it was super slow. the 2.5" seemed to keep it responsive, and it had a pretty good amount of torque. @ Irwindale i could easily spin through 3rd to the straight at like 80% throttle..

New springs are one of the greatest investments.

Yea if you were caged then, there's no doubt you would have finished in the top 3 but i would be scared of someone else's car hitting that pretty blue FD. And your wheels are GORGEOUS!!! Are they painted? Powdercoated?

Its just blue paint it can be repainted, The rear wheels are 57F Gram Lights powdercoated to match the 57D in the front. The 57's dont come in that color

I'm still on stock angle. It was a super slow course setup. Worst we had. Clutch kicking everywhere. I didn't loose the motor till the last run.

props to vosko, you were looking good at EBC.

I didnt get to see a lot of the other guys run, tho (including you, bewst).
Seems like they divided the track for B group?
