Picked up a Corksport Aluminum Undertray while it was on sale (15%?); still right at $300 shipped which is a lot considering it's a couple pieces of bent aluminum. Overall I'm rating it a 6/10 in terms of value, would be a great buy at $200 shipped, or little more. Thoughts on it: It's a...

6 weeks is lightning fast according to SP63...

Been a bit since I posted; have done 5 events (4 Autocross, 1 Trackcross), and the car is performing absolutely wonderful. It isn't set up to dominate Autocross fully, and the Trackcross ended up being a soaking wet disappointment due to weather, but I'm pulling out respectable times for what...

That's a neat idea, you may already have a "fan controller" button with the AC gone but the logic telling the ECU to start the fans? Worth a shot.

Turning on the AC starts the fans, cold or hot, which is what I use to keep temps stable between runs at events. You can crank the heat up with AC on and evacuate the temps pretty fast.

I know Enki will die on this hill

If you're going built motor and big turbo your car deserves a FMIC, it is a noticeable and appreciable drop in BAT, especially if you are using it as a daily.

Welcome, and great to see! I'm a huge sucker for the Focus ST Manifold, since all-in you are half the price of the Corksport IM, and it should work perfectly at your power levels. You just need to modify the FMIC piping a bit to make it work - you can see that on my build thread if you are...

Yeah I threw the others back on, they aren't coming off any time soon.

That's a good idea, may just be able to hack them off that way. It's going to need to wait until the end of the season probably with events coming up almost every weekend.

Yeah 6 point - no dice; could be I have crappy 6 points, but it seems like the nuts themselves are poor.

3 in the rear, and I'm assuming just as many or more would be on the fronts. I'm not sure they are soft enough to chisel without a lot of effort - it's not lug-quality metal, but its strong enough to put up a fight. I'm not eager to spray metal shaving all over and probably don't have access...

Well the spacers will not be coming off of any of my wheels any time soon. I am flabbergasted at the level of torque / matedness they have to the hub, but it is insane. I decided to leave the rears on and try the fronts, same story, and I won't even bother stripping out all the rest. I am 90%...

Appreciate it - the pads and rotors are already in unfortunately, so I'll see how the combo works. I'm 90% sure they already have old Hawks on, and if these pads are trash I'll swap them out which should be simple. My problem now is the spacers I have on my rear wheels were torqued with the...

Unrelated, but do you think a move from 5w40 to 10w40 is worth it on a built motor?

Tune is officially done, car drives minty and seems very happy and healthy. Knock events are even down from the prior setup, which I won't speculate on but I like to think freeing up flow and putting in the step-colder plugs helps a lot. Car did really well at the last autocross event, next is...

I have a very similar build to what you are shooting for, minus cams and valve springs, and I have a BNR S3. It's a great turbo, very pleased with it for what I need - if you do mostly Track-based events I would lean to the BNRS4 for more top end and to take advantage of that higher rev. On...

Ordered Brass Caliper Bushings from Damond Motorsports, with the assistance of a gift card I got off them the Christmas before last during their giveaway. Obviously the quality is top-notch, going to pair these with new pads and rotors. Planning on Running Hawk HPS all around, Centric Blanks...

Tuning is going great - turnaround time is about 5 business days, currently on Version C. Attaching a Wot 3rd gear log here in case anyone wants to see what flow is like on my setup - BNRS3, ST Manifold, XSPowerV3 EM, 3"JRB Intake, 3" Full catless Turboback. Power band is so nice, boost builds...

Who wants to see that, have you heard of OnlyFans? I'd pop in $30 for that.
