That looks sick. When's it getting tuned?

Not sure... sometime soon after I do the Timing Chain Tensioner and make sure it's solid solid.

[awd-drifter]

Shit looks sweet man. Gimme a ring if you ever need a hand.

^X2. I'd love to see this car in action.

I'm liking the gold wheels, maybe I should get a set for my white beast!!?

Good luck getting it running solid.

You should. Bronze + white is pretty cool imo.

Just got the wheels all balanced, now nothing shakes. The front left was off by 3 ounces... I was hoping it was the tire balance because I was afraid that maybe a control arm was loose. Dynoing sometime soon. Gotta do the timing chain tensioner, getting most of the interior put back in, gotta get the battery relocated and the passenger seat in.

The solid ass motor mounts, small steering wheel, super stiff coilovers, and responsive everything make it feel like its a race car, lol. Especially after driving a Kia and 1.7L Civic for the past month.

Civic :drool:

Let me know when you dyno.
I have nothing against the bronze combo, I'm sick of everyone and their mom running black wheels, but on my car it looks good. I need to get a fiber hood asap.

I don't remember, but I'm assuming you are running E85?
Any goals? track time at CFR in a couple weeks then?

^^ Thanks!

BTW... all tuned and good and running and tire spinning. =) Fuck it feels weird to have tires spin.

Got on the dyno today at DB Performance thanks to Shane!!!

After a few pulls and messing with the fuel pressure and running out of injector (cheap PTE 1000cc injectors I got - I may upgrade if I get a dual pump setup, a 5 spd, and a better clutch) so I was stuck at 18 psi.

Took it out on the highway... scary as shit with these little 205/50/16 Nitto Neo Gens. Spin in 4th, a lil spin in early 5th and it wants to go over to the other lanes...

First thought: WTF have I gotten myself into?
Second thought: There's a WRX on my ass trying to race me...
3rd thought: too much traffic.
4th thing: get more e85
5th thing: run into Wolf0573's 1g DSM on the hwy that he JUST SOLD and smoked it, lol. Then chatted with the kids.
6th thing: WTF have I gotten myself into?

...and it will continue with tires, trips to the track, and more stories to come.

AND it made it home in one piece!

Nice numbers!

I'm assuming you must have some big fat slicks for the track then? Or is that still on the to-do list?

[Halon]

Badass man. Nice clear headlights too! You'll have to take me for a spin sometime.
