ITRCA

Car got onto ground at 7pm. Adjusted height, alignment is WAY off (missed my alignment appointment at 6:30) Gauge cluster was out, fixed that, was a broken lead on back sheet of it. Put restricter (aluminum pop rivet) in the oil feed, hopefully that remedies the SMOKING I've got. Hopefully turbo is...

Yes everything is cleared thru Wes. Anyone purchasing these spots will have no problems getting on the track. 1 spot already sold. Thanks. That 1 would be me. Now I'll 100% be there to hang out with you wankers. Found my old Team Lazy beer cozy... I will not forget it this year :p Gotta keepem cold.

Got almost entire new turbo manifold done last night. Hoping to finish last bits of it tonight and downpipe so car is ready to be put on the ground.

Retune tomorrow night....
Alignment friday night...
Lots of random little things until/before/during then.

Last but not least... come play at expo?

I'm trying to get car all done in time... assuming I do.. I'll be buying someones spot that is for sale (hopefully).

At worst... I'll throw a stock header on it and run NA. Ugh.

For now just the 225 NT01s and space the wheels a hair. After I finish these tires off... who knows!!!

Made a little progress.

So my prep work is down to:
Install rear suspension
Rebuild/reinstall front splitter (add rear diffuser?)
Reinstall intake manifold
Chop more body away and install new flares
Build new turbo manifold/downpipe and install with new turbo
Oil temp gauge install
Fresh alignment
Cross fingers some?

Does the distributor end and the camshaft end have to match to be installed correctly? #1 My old distributor went dead and i took it out but i forgot to mark the distributor end. i notice the distributor end has a line mark on one side, which i can turn and spin around. the camshaft end does not ha...

I hereby withdraw all threats of rolling anyone :p

Have fun at Expo guys

Anyone else think the dealership kept the car that long so they could beat on it some more before it left their hands? ;P

thanks for the reply. I was just wondering since Ryan T and Mike S didnt have same seats last event. I hope who ever rides with me can squeeze into a buddy club narrow.

I'll run it by Tech for you now. I don't suspect there will be a problem, but I don't make the call. **It appears that both seats and seatbelts are identical, is that correct = very important! We'll keep you posted. question: why is it important to have the same seat for the driver and passenger? I...

Dave Car is missing lip (broke another one at Gman...), wing... it'll have a larger one!

Hey, Wes are we going to run the track transponders for track times? Since expo is an HPDE... there will be no transponders. And per a question/topic about it on the Expo Honda-tech thread... they are deciding on the rules regarding personal timing devices being allowed at all. Past expos, people h...

i was wondering if anyone in wisconsin is going to the itr expo this year. if so, would like to know where they're coming from so we could me up with some of the people going there. Where exactly in WI? There will be caravans forming in all parts of the country. If you are anywhere near Milwaukee y...

If format holds from previous events. The instructor will stay with you the entire time, unless he/she feels that you are ready to go out solo. Even then, if you feel unsure of yourself, you can find someone to still ride shotgun. MAM is a great course to start out on, lots of runoff room for those....
