Been a busy couple weeks. Pulled the car in the garage for an oil change, and while I was at it...*
Car doesn't look that different, but the handling and feel is TRANSFORMED. The trans mount collar came with a fairly significant amount of NVH, but I don't hate it. Sounds more Race Car without being obnoxious. The shifter and clutch springs tightened everything up, and feel like it should have from the factory all along. The steering rack bushings were a pleasant surprise. I thought the steering was quick before... Now it's practically telepathic. The springs and shocks are super interesting as well. Combined with some crash bolts for a little negative camber (-1.1°), the understeer is GREATLY diminished, and the front end feels super planted on corner entry now. Corner exit, the rear is a little flighty, but I need to play with it a little to understand what's going on and maybe adjust my style a little. The ride quality is the interesting part. The car is noticeably lower and firmer, yet the ride is somehow less harsh. It's like you feel more of the road, but the chassis is still more composed than on the stock bits. A well-sorted kit from @Racecomp Engineering, and highly recommended! *Actually several sessions, so I could feel the difference of the mods independently, because I'm a nerd. |

I've seen people try closing these gaps by tightening a hose/worm clamp around the hangers, so I might try that. What was your solution? |

They've been there for over a year, and haven't moved one bit. Haven't eaten into the silent blocs either. |

Had a Friday night meet. Turnout was better than expected, and we had a 2J swap car make an appearance.
The one day I forget to bring my camera. Camera phone works decently at least. |

Went to the dyno today for a tune. I added a low boost map which caps off at 5 psi
