Broseph, I'll hook you up with one of our sticks when we get them made. It would look super rad on your souped up ride.

Woke up at 8am, had to throw the fan and shroud on. Then I couldn't get Keegan awake, so we didn't leave til around 10am. Driving on the welded diff is SO much fun. I'll definitely be dailying it.

Get up there, get two runs in with some guys that gave me tips. Third run, I did very well. Learned how to transition smooth and keep it going.

Had such a blast.

Losnismo, please stay out of my thread. I'll report you if you start anymore s***. I'm sick of it.

Hmm, I've noticed nothing but a positive gain from the punched out cat. MUCH more top end and it helps the KA flow better.

As for the rear kit, they don't make any rear aero that I like so it will probably stay how it is unless I can find something I like.

cool dude. im jealous of all your suspension/handling upgrades, especially the 2 way you just got.
i have a similarly f*** up qp on my driver side that goes all the way back by the taillights. that rear passenger side shot reminds me of what my driver side would look like with generic overs. ive been looking for BN style wrap around overs but have found nothing good.
you gotta work on that rear fitment though dude! you're not even that low anymore.
and i assume the "burn-offs" you plan to buy will be significantly smaller than your current rear tires if you are going to drift...

Yeah, don't worry, I'm going to raise it, then roll the fenders a little bit (it's still stock ATM) then slam the s*** out of it, then get it aligned. I didn't have a lot of time to mess with fitment. And yes, I'm buying some stock S14 SEs or Z32 wheels to burn off at drift events. The single cam CAN spin these wheels/tires but it HATES it, haha.

Actually, I hate his new setup. I painted the overs about a week before he released his final paintjob, haha.

Wow, I didn't think people cared about this car, haha. No real updates, I've started collecting track wheels and working. 40+ hours a week just to scrape by with this thing. Haven't spent any real money on the car lately because I'm going to Florida next week for vacation so I'm saving money for that.

Picked up a pair of NA Z32 wheels with good 225/50 Falkens on em for cheap...
Image

Cleaned them up a bit.

I've just been helping friend's build their cars for this summer... Hopefully doing Beaverun in August or maybe even something closer, but that'll remain a secret forever. :)

Here's my buddy Damien's Sil40... Once that's done events will happen.
Image
He's the one that bought most of MGE's suspension parts and wheels.

Also installed some Vortex Generators - The I <3 Haters special. :)
Image

Going to the junkyard with Bersh this week to hopefully get some more wheels. Then to get it aligned and painted... I haven't decided whether or not to paint it with good paint and a gun or spray paint... I have both at my disposal for dirt cheap.
