Words of the wise ! Thanks for the input guys. Im not giving up. Ive had some of my closest friends telling me I cant do it, and that I dont have funds, and alot of people saying its not possible. Although its hard because I moved out of my dads house 8 months ago, pay rent, bills, and work at Pepboys for $7.50 an hour. I dont make very much money. My tax return was only $300. I sold my daily driver to get my FD cage done. I barely had enough funds to make the irwindale event. But, luckily The sponsors I had took me and my car more seriously after round 1 xdc. Lucky 7 is redoing the whole engine bay and engine build. I also have RMS to tune my car and Pepboys letting me do alignments wheneevr i need to, and use of the tire machine. Sonic motor gives me parts at cost. Used tires come from all the Porsches and bmws that come to pepboys. Godspeed has provided me with several turbos, and lines.The last turbo held up fine, and actually had some pep!
Most of all I have a solid pit crew team, that are my close co workers and friends. They have been supporting me all the way , and stood with me late nights building to the rule book. I think this year is very possible ! We are going for it! Got nothing to lose! If i blow a motor, so what, I can rebuild it in less than 5hours.

Next round Im definitely going to have new tires, better cooling effciency and bigger hp. I was at a huge disadvantage with used 3/32s tires.. And no more Nexens.. They dont smoke and grip at all!

Ive submitted My proposal to kumho, Im hoping they will grant it..

Strength and honor

So you think the world is going to end in 2012, or is that a joke?

So Lucky7 and I teamed up and finished the car in 4 days..
They rewired the haltech with a new harness, rebuilt the engine with race springs, all new piping and new couplers thanks to Godspeed, and custom race ducting for ultimate cooling effciency.. Put it this way, if you toss a piece of paper or bag in front of the bumper, it will get sucked into the tunnel like a vacuuum.

Ready to tune tmrw morning, and compete at top drift this sunday!

pics to come.
