aye, that's with the kaplan quick bits and a power rack. middle hole. (giggity)
So I came in here with the intention of doing a sweet update, but honestly I haven't done anything big to the car in months other than drive the snot out of it day in, day out. Cleaned up a bunch of little things here & there, tightened some interior things, rebundled some wires, but basically have just been enjoying it all summer.
Played around with launch control, unfortunately without dropping spark it won't hold it without any load once boost builds, so it's a no-go until I rewire it. Makes awesome sounds and draws attention like a boss though!
Few things that need to get remedied once I feel the need to tear it apart:
- open diff is so much fail. ;_; it'll lay two stripes in a straight line, but that doesn't really help me where I need it.
- clutch is so much fail ;_; if I give it more than about 3-4psi in third or fourth it doesn't stand a chance. keeps the tranny alive though!
- got a little oil moisture from the oil cooler sandwich plate, one of the o-rings must have given up the ghost. I grabbed an RX7 oil cooler from Cam, so I'll probably redo the lines at the same time I fix that.
edit:// it'll run through 4th fast enough to hypothetically top out on chuckanut. hypothetically.
