Did my first event of the year in my car this past weekend, was planning on killing off my old tires... Turns out they were already dead and off pace. Oh well!

Over the weekend my steering rack limiters were delivered, I only needed one clip per side and now I can safely run the Konig wheels

Car is still dirty from autocross, but danggggg

Got my shocks refreshed with a minor revalve from Shaftworks USA, finally had time to install them and realign my car right before we went to Maine for the Brunswick ProSolo in my wife's RX-8. I finally got to autocross the car with not-dead tires and the new setup this past weekend at Pocono. The car is FAST and I love it, haha. Only minor issue (which was expected) was the new 17x10s rubbing the rear trailing arm due to the traction mod lowering the arm into the path of the wheel. I've already ordered some different arms to get more clearance. Besides scraping the wheels and sounding bad, the only annoyance was the wheel weights being forcefully relocated in the process. Rebalanced them Saturday night and we're good to go for the next event.

The only "actual" car faster raw time was an SSP GT3 by a couple of tenths. The next faster cars were karts. My car is clearly working well!

My fastest clean run from Pocono (and only clean run...):

"You versus the guy she told you not to worry about"

Leveled the splitter and tweaked the angle so it's pointed slightly nose down:

You’re flying out there ! Jon shared your run with me and I was like oh sounds like traction mod is causing the trailing arm to rub haha. You will get it fixed in no time I’m sure.

Kenny,

What are some of the top mods you'd recommend for traction/driving feel? I've seen the 'traction mod' brackets and wasn't sure if they'd really help that much? I've got some cheapo Tein coilovers and have considered splurging on something a little fancier... not that I will probably ever use them on a track to their fullest potential.

I make plenty of power, but getting it down strategically can be a challenge. When I run the dragon or just a spirited run on the street in general, I'd like to comfortable push the car (honestly I feel comfortable now but I'm sure there's room for improvement).
