ME TOO

 

The 26/27th is a (NCRC) Northern California Racing Clube event. They are tied to ARC I believe. There is supposed to be a dozen Evo's from NorCalEvo forums. It is a HPDE weekend with some time trial and relay races. I would like to get the vinyl by then if not earlier. I will be in the east bay in the next two days to pick up my tranny. I will holler at ya'

Thank you to everyone for your comments. Most people think I am insane, I guess I would have to agree. I am a bit crazy, but I'm having fun getting there.

An I-Clubbers kind of Valentines day.

Made it up to Thunderhill for a T.E.A.M. Racing event today. Shared the track with 10 cars at most at anytime. This was a great opportunity to test out the new Cusco diffs, clutch and gearing. 4xrex, Daredevil, and Soggynuts made it up for the day. There was a bunch of Miatas, a handful of Lotus', VW's, and some others.

It took some time for the diffs to break in. In the meantime, I got some practice at countersteering. As the diffs started to loosen, throttle induced oversteer became more controllable. The car simply flies and can drift with ease now, hehe

The JDM 5/6th gears were much appreciated. Now the shift from 4-5 is smoother and 5th pulls like mad. 5th gear was taching out at just over 125mph. I did not get a chance to run out 6th, so we will have to see in the future.

Cusco Carbon Twin-plate clutch:
Ahh, a clutch that can hold the power and not kill the leg. This clutch is totally streetable. It feels just slightly stiffer than stock. We also replaced the clutch slave cylinder with the 02' version giving better clutch control. The flywheels is lighter and helps with revmatching.

I managed to go off track and kick up some mud part way through the day. Soggynuts was riding shotgun for that run. No damge was sustained and we were both laughing.

Thanks to Max, Erich, and Josh for a great day. Oh yeah, props to Josh and Lindsay for making the trek out for some ride alongs.

One big yay for ditching the STI wing! Damn, that car needs some vinyl now though. And who took the photos? Nice work.
