It is a lot, but usually it's on the smaller side so you can easily get 10+ runs, easily, within the 5 hour time frame.

10+ runs that is more than worth that price! especially if its a 1:50 course. The ones ive been in have rarely been over 60 seconds

Whelp, found out my dad will be buying me a new wheel for my birthday since I cracked one hahaha.
And my friend might be buying me a bunch of oober cool parts for the celi for my birthday hehehehehehe

Sold my 3 spoke steering wheel this past week, came home for the weekend and swapped out the steering wheels. The OEM more actually feels thicker than the JDM one. I'll probably get a different steering wheel in the future anyway haha

I have finally made a decision with the way I want to go with this car. No more going off road as in rally style driving, she's going to be a street car that will be built for handling. I really want to rally, but AutoCross is less dangerous in certain aspects and a lot more safe since you have grip and there are no trees around lol

I was debating what to do for a while now, but I have a plan set in stone for what I want to get done by next summer.

-Redo the exhaust: Leaving the header and flex, adding two resonators, deleting the muffler, and doing a similar setup to tigawood's car.
-I have GT4 wheels with street tires so those will be good for the track. I want to get stock GT wheels with summer tires and Subaru wheels for the winter tires. Also, sell my set of 17" wheels because those are too big.
-Then I'm doing all the maintenance work such as front to back hard brake lines, fuel lines, SS brake lines, misc engine gaskets and seal, hoses, fuel filter, refurbishing the gas tank and other parts while in there. Front end links, e-brake cables, new pads and rotors all around.
-Then just other handling stuff along the way like a 3pt front strut bar and etc.

What I do want to do, which will be the biggest challenge, is rebuilt the transmission or at least fix my 3rd gear syncho since it's starting to go

That's what I have in mind for right now, and almost in that order.

Maybe pick up a graytop? It would give you a power gain and still having low end too and they are cheap lol

I'm waiting until the engine goes to replace it. She's just over 241,000k now and I really want to hit quarter of a million on the engine. I might save up for engine mods / swaps for the summer of 2014, but definitely not this summer. I might just go with a beams engine, possible cam and valve springs, but it would be just a grand for those alone I've done my research on the beams parts.

rallying too damaging huh?

It was only the one wheel, but I can't do that kind of stuff while I'm in college cause this is my only car, and I'd rather not mess her up.

Got this in the mail today. Vibrant Ultra Quiet resonator, 2.25" in/out.

Looks like I'll be getting some steelies for my winter wheels because my friend is only selling them for $150 and the tires are still good on them too. I'll probably end up painting them some obnoxious color because I can haha
That's my birthday present from my parents now, instead of one wheel for my other set (can't find them anywhere). I'm officially 20 today!

Happy birthday.

Nice!

there are no fart cans going on my car....
I would never ever ever ever ever put one on.

GENERAL ALTIMAX ARCTICS
General altimax arctics. 225/60/16. $190 for all 4 with only 4,000 miles on them. Going on the GT4 wheels for the winter. They'll be squeezed in the front wheel wells.

I'm jealous. I've heard winter tires make a night/day difference, and those look like they'll be no different

here you got


get some decent wheels

I'm hoping so, I've never had true snow tires on my car before, just all season tires.
I can't wait to see how they feel though!



-______- For one, those are as much as I bought my car for and two, they aren't trd.

yeah, they are better heh heh heh
