What support mods do you need just to get the sprinted on?

Oil cooler?
Catch can?

Its an intercooled setup. Only thing I needed that wasn't provided was coolant.

I also opted for a smaller pulley and thus went with a smaller belt. I did buy a catch can too.


Side note. I'm sorry for neglecting this thread! I'll try to be more frequent.

Broke my 2nd driver side axle within 1500 miles of each other. Decided the car was way too low in the rear and raised it up about 3/4th of an inch.

Went to AndrewTech Automotive here in Maryland and had the first oil change done. I went with Motul 5w/40 oil. Keep getting a lot of flack for the oil choice. Sure, its gonna diminish a few hp and gas mileage, but as a preventative measure for not cooking this motor, I opted for a thick weight. Especially since I don't have an oil cooler. Also swapped the supercharger oil over to Motul 75w90 since it hit 9k miles on it. Gross! Very little fluid in the charger, slightly sludgey. Def. would change pre 15k



I also finally go for my dyno tune today with @moto-mike. I'm excited to see what numbers it puts down. Will update back when I know!

Well!

It's been quite sometime since my last post. Life has pretty much caught the best of me.

On to the content...

Had a quarry day. Snuck into a closed quarry on a Sunday, had some fun drifts and pictures!






Whole squad had an oil change day.. Went back to OEM weight oil, 0w-20! Car just hit 8k miles. Did it just b'cuz :P




Got my new fenders & trunk painted!



Victory Function +20mm Wide Fenders


Semi-Molded Rocket Bunny V3







Outside of that.. my blower has been acting up, but Sprintex was kind enough to warranty replace the whole unit. Will be receiving it this week and will report back how things go!

Until next time!

Great looking car! The wheels are dope. Not a fan of the front widebody fenders, but love the progess.

'Sup Rifle! Normally I converse on /r/ft86, but it's good to see you here too

Did you upgrade your axle after the second time you broke it? Have you had any trouble since?

I went through 4 axles before I decided to go air suspension and avoid the problem of driving too low.. Lol!
