Getting the Laser ready for AutoX

123abc · 02-14-2009

With my tax returns officially on the way in, I can start planning and gathering things for 09. I want to actually be able to have a chance at winning SM in my local SCCA region, and the most cost effective way of doing so is new tires. So I picked out 4 brand new Falken Azenis RT-615's from discount tire direct. They will be mounted on some stock rims.

Next, I will be converting from the 1g Maf setup to a 3 inch gm maf setup with a translator. This will diffinently help in so many ways right now I can't even begin to go over all of them.

I will also be changing transmissions, so I'll be picking up a new XTD Stage 3 6 puck clutch kit off ebay. I Still have the 1g Nt tranny that came with the car, and I know it doesn't leak. Not only that, but it has shorter gear ratios as well. The current turbo tranny that I had put in sounds like its on its last legs.

And lastly, I'll be going through the engine bay fixing leaks and once I got the leaks fixed, I'll take it into work on a weekend and spray out the engine bay with the pressure washer.

I do hope to make the spring cruise, but right now it's up in the air.

I'll do the tires and the MAF-T along with fixing the oil leaks and possibly putting my evo 9 fuel pump in. I won't be on the azenis for that though.

I've changed my mind on tires for the moment. I think the idea of more power/boost intrigues me a bit more...

...so I picked up an AEM UEGO Wideband and I got the maft from Twack. I have the sensor on the way in. Next, I'll be looking for an Aeromotive AFPR and some brake upgrades.
