Definitely should help with getting us a tad more inboard clearance. Also thinking about hammering the seam line and everything inside eventually once readily available off the shelf angle kits start popping up.

Just listen to this quick video. horrible footage but listen to the rubbing, thats pretty much all you hear.

Wow, that's just as bad as mine was. I cut away bits of the plastic fender lining since I was rubbing through it anyways. I just got some 17x9s too so I know I'm still going to be rubbing up front, especially with knuckles.

In all of these videos, the track pipe still sounds pretty quiet. How do you like it?

It is definitely not that loud but I like it. Id love to add a test pipe next to make it a bit more audible though

Another event in the books, DD46 was a blast and I learned so much about how to drive this car! I have a ton of improvement to make as a driver so I cant wait till next season!

How is the Tomei 2-Way treating you?

Great! So far I've put around 8,000 miles or so on it and it is extremely daily-able. At first it was extremely loud and clunked a lot which is typical of many 2-ways but after beating on the car quite a bit, it has quieted down a bunch and I completely forget that I have it.. until I take a corner and it reminds me that it is not a normal torsen diff.

Finally got replacement tails under warranty at work

I added a TF Relax seat with Circuit Sport rails before the last event. Great budget minded setup that does the job.

Fall leaves

and now this?!

Winter blues... a rolling shot that I like as well as some photos from the last event on my crap 16x7 drift spares

2014 Plans
-Steering angle modification
-Diff risers
-Rear lower control arms
-Front tires

Overall, I plan to continually improve the setup on this car to make it as fun and controllable as possible while drifting. Any slight gain in steering angle would be hugely beneficial since I find myself instantly at lock and spinning out more than I would like. Diff risers will help with the excessive axle angle from being so low and hopefully that will help prevent me from breaking my axles. I want the STANCE lower control arms not for the camber adjustment, but more so I can regain some shock travel in the rear. I went with the same tire all around last season, I want to see how it will be with a better front tire and see if I prefer that.

Diff Risers huh? How much room is there for the diff to go up?

Hey Slava, check it out... I just saw these came out, it will raise the diff 20mm but it also requires some welding.
