Decent lap from Wednesday. Stupid GoPro always fucking dies on the fastest laps. I hate that thing. We can see here. Much wot time. Much driving. This is a quick one. Car makes some serious G’s in a few places too lol. Dayumm Grand Bend Technical - First track day after engine replacement

I definitely need something upgraded. I mean stock is OK to 8500-8600 at most. It’s not terrible but it’s definitely slower lol. We’ll see. For now the idea is to have a spare ready to go so I don’t miss events and shit. I hate that. Even if it is a stock engine whatever

The cylinders go oval over time. Can’t just stuff new pistons in there unfortunately. Need machine work and all that. Maybe a stock unfucked with engine is the best spare lol

Might be the move. For sure I need 1 backup. I kinda wanna do a budget built back up using the cheap rods and cheap oem style pistons available. I think that would be cool but it’s money

I could probably get all of the currently for sale engines for like 3k total. Much less than another build lol. I do have my engine at the machine shop though. Hopefully I have a power upgrade for next season that actually lasts. This current engine id like to keep as a spare

Instead of building another I’m gonna buy every single one off Facebook lol. Maybe this is the way

Took a half day at work today and fucked off to the track. Wanted to give the car a shakedown before I register for Mondays track day. The weather was fantastic today. Cool air temps but plenty of sun warming the ground. Ideal conditions. The car has the 8500rpm German safety tune so...

The last competition of the season is September 14th. I’m trying to move down a class cause of my engine downgrade. I just don’t have that little bit extra anymore and track has 2 long straights where I’ll just be throwing time away. If I move down a class I’ll be in a much better spot BUT rear...

The rear deck plastic and the dead’s are the heaviest. Around 40-45lbs there. The rest adds up to maybe another 10-15lbs. I was thinking of getting some sub box carpet and making a rear seat delete panel but that’s still outside of the rules and I could be protested. In the one series, I’d...

This is kinda my goal. I can go to whichever event is at the track I want or works for my schedule. I guess I should stay with this goal. Gives me more options for competition. Just means I won’t be optimized for either rule book. Like I gotta put my rear interior back in which sucks

My buddy said the same. This is probably on purpose. I just don’t get it though. I know the two series are very different, nerds vs fast and furious basically. But why not make the rules more similar? This would allow people to compete in both series without being forced to build for one or...

This is true. While one rule book kinda accepts this and lets it be, the other rule book must be trying to keep costs down. The way the rule is written is dumb though. 2 way dampers are allowed but no remote reservoirs. The other series just says “oh you have coilovers? Just take this penalty...

I was considering having my coilovers upgraded into 2ways with remote reservoirs. My one series the rule book says no remote reservoirs allowed. but 600hp? no problem. thats allowed. My other series, no problem. Ive already taken the penalty for coilovers so i can have 4 ways if i want. LOL...

There was a pretty specific application I had to fill out. Asking all sorts of shit about the car, current build, future plans, all sorts of shit. Cars usage. Blah blah. Then they ask what I can offer them and why I’m worthy. I filled it out well. I mentioned the class I compete in...

Well I applied to fortune auto my coilover brand for a sponsorship and it looks like they’ve accepted. Decals are being sent next week. Discount has been offered on rebuild/upgrade of my current Coilovers. This is sick lol. I’m a nobody but sponsorships help!! Even if it’s just a discount...

Broken This thing must’ve been hanging on for dear life for a while cause yea. It’s very broken lol. YouTube made the job seem impossible. Special tools required and what not. I was stressing about it but ended up being no more than 20-30 minutes in and out. Not a big deal. I did rotate...

Like nothing happened I call it the 2 foot fix. From 2 feet away it’s perfect. Any closer…yaya it’s a beat up civic leave me alone More than anything it’s symmetrical to the otherside and that’s what counts lol

Picked up a mint clutch pedal lastnight for $60. Also picked up the reinforcement brace thingy to avoid this issue in the future. Still pissed about the front end though. That’s gonna be a real pain in my ass

This is how the day finished up. Did a lot of logs, different maps. Tuner found some power everywhere. red and blue were 2 maps back to back. Same road. Same starting point. Same direction. Clearly the red one saw some torque spike or something weird but I can confidently say I’m probably...

Today map in red vs last weeks in blue. Logged back to back. Same road. Same direction. Same starting point. My logs are always as consistent as humanly possible. That 7ftlbs of torque feels amazing. I know it’s not much but for NA where all he modified was most likely vtc, that’s huge. Feels...
