I know, right?

grrr.


anyhow, Had a GREAT time at the track this past weekend, lots of family and local friends came to watch me tear it up at PIR. Car is a few seconds quicker now with new injectors, didn't get to dyno tune it, had to do a quick road tune, but it was good. Have a small list of things I'd like to address before I hit the track again; next track day is in JAN.

Thank you very much! Hoping to start off the new year with big things.

tires for new wheels en route; as well as a jdm blitz nur spec-r exhaust. should all arrive in the next few days. I already have the dccd controller, just need to install it. just finished taking down all the christmas stuff; should have a couple days to get the car back together and hopefully get the launch control and flat foot shifting back online before I leave for AZ on Friday.

Thank you! I've been trying to figure out how to build a track in HI, but the land is kinda expensive.

Had a great time at the track, still fine tuning everything, but it's definitely getting better & faster.
