    I’ve talked to him before back in my speed days. He did a block for me which is still in use somewhere. He’s far is my only problem. We’re talking almost 2 hours one way

    His son has replied to my email. Mentioned he is in the process of gaining access to the shop and the books. It’s too bad…I told him his father wasn’t really a “books” guy. We operated on handshakes and cash. Here is hoping I get my stuff back. As for my hunt for a new shop….nobody...

    He will be missed for sure. He was a good guy and we talked a lot. He loved what I was doing and he was a big fan as well as a supporter and a sponsor. It sucks. It sucks bad. I hope I can get my stuff back as it’s too much to eat the loss on all of it. RIP Harold. I wish we could’ve at least...

    In other news...of course with the good news of my suspension yesterday i also received some bad news last night. I was informed my machinist has passed away. We spoke last February 4th and he said he was feeling good. He passed on the 6th. I just found out last night. This is upsetting. He...

    apparently they do have speed 3 coilovers. the 500 series which is street oriented. Theres some facebook shop that has been pushing them for a few years now. Grave yard performance i think it is. The support from these guys has been top notch. Its really impressive. I love that i called them...

    So one dude made a good point on the k20 forums. He was saying the helper spring is better ontop so it doesn’t have to carry the weight of the main spring. This makes sense. When I checked Google, it seems people run it either way. When I asked fortune they said it don’t matter. It’s...

    Well gaahh dang! This stuff is nice. I feel like a fraud. This is too much for me I can clearly see the lengthened shock body’s with the additional stroke. I will be able to properly set droop now which will change a few things. Being that the car is on factory suspension right now I actually...

    The aluminum rear dampers were definitely a nice surprise. We didn’t talk about that one. I called them already today. Felt like a fool. Asked them if the orientation on the new bump stops mattered and also had to ask which are my fronts and which are my rears since they look the same lol...

    i was straight up screaming into my muted microphone for the damn meetings to end LOL anyways the good stuff now; This stuff is real real nice. First thing I noticed, two of the dampers were light as air. Immediately I thought something was wrong BUT… I pulled out a magnet. Seems my rears are...

    Do I have a bad oil pressure switch, or did my engine just stop producing pressure?

    Something similar happened to my buddy in his speed6. It had sat in storage over winter for about 5-6 months. It had old oil from the previous season. On his way home, lower rpm conditions, the light would come on. Flicker. Do all that. I told him it’s the oil. Change it immediately. He...

    As of last night, looks like they got the minimum number for deposits so it should be good to go. After watching my vlog/track footage from 2021 when i went here last, had an amazing time. The track is massive so low power car means a lot of WOT time. Definitely a fun track where throttle...

    Well first deposit put down for a 2026 time attack event. Organizers needed a minimum of 30 deposits to make this event happen. Calabogie motorsports park. Its about 5-6 hours from home. One of the best tracks around. Very challenging to drive with a moderately high average speed. I was here...

    They do have off the shelf setups for speed3. Both 500 series and 510. 510 being the more track focused piston. I have 510’s but with some serious customization now

    Received an invoice from Fortune Auto today outlining the changes/parts list. Shout out to them for the sponsorship hook up because they truly saved me some good cash. Wouldn’t be doing this without their help. We are getting: - Custom length/stroke dampers front and rear - Valving to be done...

    It’s the only way this is staying any sort of affordable. Without that option there would be nothing. I’m not paying 1500+ for the same shit I bought 14 months ago for 1050. Shits ridiculous. Oem parts ain’t cheap either. $430 for a vtc gear from Honda. OR $200shipped to my door from Japan...

    Well dampers have arrived at FA. They’re doing their thing now. No rush since it’s cold AF for another 2 months at least. Ordered the last of my JDM valve train. For a grand total of $450cad we have a proven 9500rpm setup. Insane considering my ferrea retainers are currently like $500++++...
