That guy might have it might not. Literally no idea. Might just find whatever the cheapest piston is with similar specs and send it. Idk. I’m pretty annoyed

we just heard from the guy we think took my pistons. He swears he doesnt have them and has told us to shut up about it. They are confirmed gone for good. I am just feeling beat down. motivation is gone. i have registered for 3 race weekends so far, paid in full. Ill complete those then...

i will begin a part out soon. rods and rod bolts will go for sale first. since i dont have the box ill probably get 1/3 of that 1250usd setup. wonderful. Block is useless as im not buying wiseco shit again so thats fucked. what a fucking struggle. I dont think i will make another season with...

Went by the machine shop. Finally they were letting people pick stuff up. Seems I was notified late. Somebody stole my fucking pistons. Checked every inch of the shop. High and low. Not only were all brand new looking things gone but my pistons and arp 2000 bolts as well as timing cover bolts...

Car hit the scales today. not only is it 200lbs lighter than I guessed but my eyeball setup is clearly crazy good. This is before any adjusting lol. Unreal. Light weight battery not yet installed. Working on a mount for that. Oem weight 2886. Not sure how I got so much out of it. Still full...

so previously, the car was a tripod king. always three wheeling everywhere. This was due to almost no droop in the rear, then of course the rear bar eventually just ends up lifting that inside rear wheel. Always during trail brake/initial turn in. I have much more droop now, and i am thinking...

No front bar seems to have added some compliance up front. Something. More grip. Way I see it, more rear bar makes the car more loose, more front bar usually tightens it up, adds understeer. No front bar should be as loose as it gets but I will definitely roll over the tire. I’m going to try...

So technically, I don’t run enough front spring rate to justify deleting it. I already roll over my tires a tad as is. I would need to increase spring rate by a good bit or more camber which I don’t wanna. Now, the car would be loose AF with the front bar deleted and that might be good, or way...

Loading it onto the uhaul is going to be so much easier now too. It was always a slight pain in the ass before when it was much lower. Car feels good and I’m already getting use to the ride height. It looks functional. On the hunt for a base model sedan front sway bar now. It’s the softest...

Well it was tough to get any real testing done. The streets are still coated in a dusting of sand. It’s hard to not die trying to push the car on rock hard Hankook rs4’s lol. From what I was able to feel however, the car feels more gentle over high speed compression events. It doesn’t feel...

Gotta be able to absorb bumps. Curbs. Shitty track surface. Maintaining tire contact is the number 1 goal above all else. Teams of smart smart people are engaged solely to figure out the best way to make sure the tire is not only touching the ground as much as possible, but how much of the tire...

I’ve got extended ball joints and extended tie rods. Probably need to go back to stock now. My limit seems to be to do with my bump stop height. Keeping the wheel from smashing the chassis/fender has taken away from my ability to lower the car. That and the fact that the shocks have been...

It will live inside other than race season. Got the fancy charger for it too

Nice.

Compression travel is super important. That’s all the curb eating ability and stability the car would have through corners specially with bumps which we have plenty of here. Cars going to look funny but it should handle well. Curb eating ability is important and it was lacking on the previous...

Learned lastnight the car don’t have no fucking compression travel. Thought I fucked up but no. With correct bump height settings this is what it is. Talked to fortune auto and they’re like, do you wanna be a cool guy or have a proper suspension with actual travel? I’m gonna have to raise...

No unfortunately I haven’t gone through this yet but based on the internet these cars like to sit a little higher. Apparently the rear has some crazy toe charge under compression but more height back there seems to help apparently. I’m going to raise the car all around a little then I think...

Finished the rear of the car today. Wasn’t too bad. I think I need to raise the car all around a little. At least a few turns of the collars lol. It was way too high at first now I think it’s too low. Gonna put a little more rake in it as well. Took it for a quick drive around the block with...

100% This! You got it. This is what I’m hoping for. More throttle commitment, more consistency, more curb eating abilities. Not having to lift in certain spots. There are definitely a few spots at a few different tracks where I could feel i was limited. Either eating the bump stop which just...

Spent some hours in the garage lastnight doing the proper coilover setup. No more “set 5mm of preload and good to go”. Unfortunately that’s not really correct. I was quoted $1400 for this job which motivated me to DIY it. I now fully understand the quote. This is hour intensive. 2.5 hours in...
