I used a friend's Carista app to remove the seat belt warning chime on both the driver and passenger seats, as well as the alarm when you hit the keyfob lock button with the doors open, and made it so pressing the keyfob unlock button once to unlock both doors. I'm interested in seeing your Innovate gauge install!

Sadly I never ran the red T4 FRS car up there, only the white STU FRS. I always borrowed a friend's old T4/SSB car up at Pacific to get National starts. I think the time has moved since my 2014 T4 record in the SSB Civic Si. I think I still have the STU record though. Setting goals and going over your data to improve are important. Make sure you have data and work from there! -Oscar Jr. |

Other than my valve springs getting finished I haven't got much done beside cleaning the garage and getting organized to get started again. It seems like every time I turn around other plans are being made for me! I should have more time after this weekend to get moving.
My next steps are: Interior

Bilstein B14s. That may change in 2020 but that's what I'm doing for this year. I don't want to commit too much money because you never know what the future holds. The SCCA could approve single adjustable shocks and then POOF - gotta spend more $$$.

Interested in your thoughts about corner balancing the car, tried this weekend but couldn't put a dent in the 100# difference across the front axle without the ride heights getting super screwy (like >1/2" different left to right)

killer job with the interior prep and paint, that all came together very nicely. What type of prep work did you do before attacking the base coat?
ST4 should be a lot of fun with this machine once it is finished. - Ryan

TBH, I can't speak to either, nor have I seen any dyno graphs of either. I can speak to my decision making process which heavily relies on my favorite quote: "is the juice worth the squeeze". I looked at what I'd be racing and where for starters.. A lightly modified FRS in the PacNW where the race tracks (except for Spokane) are quite smooth compared to many across this country. So all I have to build for are: PacNW tracks, maybe 1 in CA and then Road America (2020 runoffs). I called Bilstein directly and spoke with one of their technical guys about my car and my intentional use-case. Basically the B14 was valved/designed based on data acquired from testing at the Nordschliefe (sp?) on a lowered, stiffened car. Bilsteins are also inexpensive to have re-valved/rebuilt. The capability, up front cost and revalving cost/availability of the Bilsteins sold me over other options. The best places to gain time on track (low hanging fruit at this level of prep) will come from Tires, Tuning (power) and setup. Spending $$$ on fine tuning shocks comes last so it wasn't in the 2019 plans.

We have sprayed cars in the past with single stage, and there's something to be said for spraying once. However the base coat + clear coat really laid down nicely. The clear coat was very resistant to runs so we could lay it down thick, coat after coat. The 2 stage really pops and the effort was worth it. Its going to cause me pain to drill holes in it to mount things like seat belt eye bolts, cool shirt tray and lead weights!

Bought wiring harness and coil packs all brand new from:
https://www.subarusource.com/ Their prices were low enough to justify buying new OEM stuff.

Toiling away in the garage....
The gauges are on hold. I need a thing before I do thing so that thing has to wait...
So onto other things! Time to get into the engine bay! Off with the bumper IMG_0364 by Rice Classic, on Flickr Adios A/C! IMG_0360 by Rice Classic, on Flickr IMG_0361 by Rice Classic, on Flickr Now it's time to:
IMG_0365 by Rice Classic, on Flickr Intake ports were a bit cruddy, but not bad for 85k miles!! Gotta say, I'm very impressed. After a bit of cleaning IMG_0366 by Rice Classic, on Flickr Here's how much GOOP was used by Toyota during the Valve Spring replacement... I hope it doesn't cause the same failure others have seen. Old Harness IMG_0370 by Rice Classic, on Flickr New Harness IMG_0371 by Rice Classic, on Flickr That's right.. I bought 5 coil packs. When it costs $1000+ per race weekend, it makes sense to carry spares of things that you may need. IMG_0372 by Rice Classic, on Flickr Unfortunately 2 of the sensors on my car were NOT compatible with my 2015 harness, requiring me to do a little soldering.
