next was the eibach lowering springs, loved the drop but the more I autocross the more I want to get some true coilovers, hopefully getting a feal 441 soon for the car :)

245/40 kumho ecsta 4x

I went with the all season ultra high performance tires as of now, since i do have heavy snow here at Purdue University I want some tires that'l let me drive all year long. I will however get some summer tires after winter ends for next years season. and save these tires for the upcoming winter.

Got the painted red taillights from a fellow forum member, looks perfect imo should have came this way from factory.

oh and I am also a new member here! :lol: go easy on me.

I know that driver skill is 75% of autocross, but what mods do you guys think I should go next? was thinking of a strano front swaybar, then feal 441 coilovers then some BFG Rivals.
Hope to get some real good advice from the more experienced drivers here in the forum :)

Berk Single Tip Muffler Delete came today!, bought it off a fellow forum member

The hangers were the worst part of taking off the stock muffler!.
I drove it up a ramp to get easier access to the muffler.

Review:
I am 100% happy with this purchase, it saved 23 lbs of weight off the back of the car and it sounds amazing. It is a little too loud for my taste at cold start but after that it is very bearable. In terms of drone, there is drone at lower rpm (2000-3000) but after that there is no drone, so at highway speeds at 75mph there is no drone. The look of the car was what I worried about a but when you look at the car it looks really nice, the single exit doesnt bother me as much as i thought it would and the larger tip is a vast improvement from stock.

Finally got some proper Coilovers and Lower control arms on, got a great deal on a set of Feal 441 Coilovers

Heres how it sits after the alignment, I think its a bit too low in the rear but Id adjust that another time.

Track day PREP!

I got a bunch of goodies for a track day last weekend but I didnt have time to install all of it before the day, I got

https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.n...96320818_o.jpg

-3 Bottles of Motul RBF600 Fluid
- Stainless steel lines
- Hawk HP+ front Pads
- HPS rear pads
- Grimspeed Master Cylinder Brace
- Schroth Rallye 3 harness.

I only got to install the pads before the track day, BUT im glad i didnt cook the brake fluid, it wouldve sucked to cut my day short for that.

I am glad I switched the pads, they were awesome on track and the coilovers felt flat through corners, I am impressed though on how well my all-season Kumho Ecsta 4x tires held up, although they were roughed up a bit, but they stuck pretty decent for all seasons.

It was at putnam park and It was my first time at the track (So I'm still very noob),
Best Lap times
Day 1- 1:29.5
Day 2 - 1:28.0

Post track wash
Brake dust was really bad for the hp+, I will be running them on the streets for a week or so and if it still dusts really bad I will switch them out for street and just save it for autocrosses or track time :)

Overall, track was an AWESOME experience and I learnt a lot, its always satisfying to see yourself improving, Putnam had so much run off area I felt safe ( I did spin off at turn 1, and had no problems at all). Highly reccomended for first timers.

I ran with 1010th Motorsport and they were VERY organized and I was impressed, there was an oil spill mixup on sunday and they managed to reschedule quickly and gave everyone good seat time.

progressing very well.. great built! I hope your enjoying it!

Winter has finally came, and Ive been doing some last minute car prep for winter.

https://scontent-b-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/...47126731_n.jpg

It was 4am, me and my roomates just decided to grab a couple beers and head to the $6 all you can wash station, cleaned the whole car up, waxed it.etc Waxing and Cleaning the car in 25F weather was no fun at all.

https://scontent-b-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/...07097267_n.jpg

My black temporary Autozone lugnuts were stripped in some places, and it started rusting, I got a set of Blue ebay lugnuts ( also temporary) in helping me decide whether I wanna get some Blue Volks lug nuts for next season or not, still deciding what color or brand to get though as my permanent set, been thinking of going blue or red or purple or bronze.etc Any reccomendations for lugnuts?

car looks great man, I like the way your building this car
