Yeah, lol. This was super last minute. I 'painted' the car with my phone flash light lol!

Any more pics? The glare off the dash is so annoying!

Couple more shots of it on my build thread (drivers side angle and close up of the fabric). I'll take more pics of it when I eventually Velcro it down and install it for good. Right now it just sits on my dash unsecured but stays put through hard driving even without the Velcro.

Drove to Summit Point yesterday with @PA-86 then did track day bro stuff today. I'll post videos and such later.

*Deep breath*

Spark plug change, oil change, diff fluid change
STi Engine Mounts
STi Transmission Mount
STi Differential Mount
STi Rear Subframe Mounts
STi tS Rear Subframe

Some tear down photos:

We didn't really take photos putting it all together cause at the end of the day, we just wanted it to get done. The rear subframe mounts required the stock ones to be pressed out entirely and the new ones pressed in. This was a PITA alongside then transferring the entire rear assembly to the new subframe.

New wheels. Okay, not exactly today, but a week ago.

I put a longboard on it.

Replaced all the shittastic stock lugs in preparation for AX in 2 weeks. Honestly incredibly easy with the right tools. Also installed aluminum lug nuts along with.

Installed the Valenti 4th brake light.

Making the necessary wiring changes inside the light to get to work the way I wanted (no F1 blinkity blink while braking, just a simple triangle brake light, thank you very much) was a bit of a challenge, but thanks to my USCG Electronics training and sick soldering skills, Success!

Another #trackdaybro. Going into this weekend I had three new things to try out: (1) my new trailer / corn cart; (2) a brand new set of Dunlop Direzza Z2 Star Specs; and (3) my new harnesses.

Trailer was great (once it had some weight on it). Tires were great. Harnesses were great. Had a lot of good sessions. In fact, I shaved 5 whole seconds off my best lap time from last month. Here's the lap in question:

But not everything was sunshine and roses. On the morning of day 2 I noticed my left rear tire was significantly lower than the others. I pull it off to have a look:

My brand new tire had a nail in it.

And somewhere along the line, my windshield decided it couldn't even. No obvious rock chips, no impact, nothing. It just broke.

But yeah. Good weekend.
