Thanks! Slow and steady wins the race, right?

Turkish, what puts you in STX? You'd get a better index in C-Street if it is an easy swap over.

Intake and springs, I'll be adding LCAs and top hats soon. My goal is to get my suspension dialed in while I am novice. Then spend next season improving my skill (and replenishing my savings).

Edit: Upon further review, my Whiteline positive shift kit also takes me into STX.

Just ordered the last of what I need to install the horns from Radio Shack. I have decided to not do the demon eye mod to my headlights, it just seems a bit overwhelming with everything else I plan to do on my next foray with the tools. All the necessary parts, which were only orderable in huge bulk, cost almost the same as the horns itself... it would have been much easier if I could say, order 5 feet of heat shrink tubing instead of increments of 100 feet... oh well!

Edit: Also trying really hard to not over-extend my wallet by purchasing the Grimmspeed pulley cover.... I did just buy SPT battery tie down and oil cap in blue from my dealership.... must keep wallet closed.... hahaha

Last week I was at my dealership, and I made an impulse purchase...

I got bored and made a flow chart for how I intend to do my performance modifications... On a brighter note, if my finances go the way it looks like they are headed, then I should hopefully be pulling the trigger on the Raceseng cascam plates and possibly the Whiteline rear LCAs middle of next month.

I also attached this to the front page and will be updating that one as my build progresses.

If your intention is to stay in STX, I'd double check the Driveshaft as a mod. That might put you in Prepared, where you will need to spend large to be competitive.

Thanks for the catch, I'll re-read the allowances and modify my build list as appropriate. And yes, my intention is to stay in STX.

So I began the next project for C'thulhu, doing a bunch of cosmetic modifications and I'll be installing the Hella Super Tones, which I painted this evening.

In about a week I will be applying clearcoat to protect my handiwork.

Turkish · 08-14-2014, 10:19 PM

So I did the clear coat on the horn covers today. My garage smells like high.

Also, on Sunday I went to an autocross event in San Antonio at the Retama polo fields.
