Got the tune checked and cleared for racing.

Had to take the bumper/splitter off to get on the dyno.

Finally got the big fresh rubber on.

Out for some AutoX

Of course same day as Canadian Grand Prix

Dark bumpers were common.

The car survived!

Best run was my first run. Tires were too fresh and wen't giving much grip.

Didn't do well. But I was happy to have the car back out.

Stunning car!!

What size tire were you running for Enthusiast?

Big news last week with GTA announcing spec tires for the top 2 classes!

JourdanWithaU · 06-24-2019, 05:15 PM

255/40/17. Currently shelved for SLB in November.

Yeah, they got the Yokohama deal sorted. Spec tires for Street, Limited, and Unlimited. Going to hurt the people looking for records. But should level the field for competition. The spec for Limited really caught my eye. Curious to see how wide people go for that.

Amazing build man! Glad i read through your thread especially seeing your wing extension from bmspec, may have to pull the trigger on that one over the password jdm piece

Where was I?

Car was running great. Geared up to do another AutoX July 7th and a trackday July 13th. The event on the 7th was a club that didn't doesn't do a street tire class so I would be able to bring out the R-comps and get some use out of those. Packed up the wheels and tools, drove 1.5 hours out to the site. Then this...

https://i.imgur.com/ldBOuqr.png

P0031, front O2 sensor crapped out.

Can't race with a broken O2. Mildly infuriated.

Amazon Prime Nexday is legit though.

https://i.imgur.com/Z9KA4m4.png

New sensor in, data looks good. Got the car checked out by my tuner again. Got the all clear for racing, again.

OUT TO THE TRACK!

https://i.imgur.com/ieeGX6S.png

Was rather hot. Day peaked at ~106. Second session was already over 90 when we went out. Now that I had an oil temp gauge, I could see that an oil cooler was necessary. Spent the day managing temps... Laptimes were not great.

https://i.imgur.com/rV4H5Ox.png

I was also promoted to the advanced group. First time in advanced and I 100% did not have the pace for it. At one point I took to the grass to let the other cars pass as we ran out of space on the main straight. Turns out, the grass was a little long.

https://i.imgur.com/dCPO1dq.png

I also yeeted my phone out the window. Luckily one of the corner workers saw it and retrieved it.

Back looks ok.

https://i.imgur.com/y8lmyJ5.png

Front is looking pretty basic.

Caught it on video. Mount basically said, F U.

After the track day, I received some more goodies.

https://i.imgur.com/CSIror8.png

Got the thing apart again.

https://i.imgur.com/J8PZDMJ.png

Oil lines made.

https://i.imgur.com/3OQaQjA.png

And all back together. Can't even tell that there's an oil cooler in there.

JourdanWithaU · 08-01-2019, 11:27 AM

Decided to try the N1 game again...

Found a decent deal on an Invidia N1 Race. This should actually fit. Unlike the SRS N1 that melted my bumper. Being the race, it doesn't have a resonator. Only mildly worried about that.

https://i.imgur.com/PXgXhK1.png

Took a while to find motivation to actually get it going.

https://i.imgur.com/5jpMrqC.png

Q300 out.

https://i.imgur.com/itJCMG2.png

N1 in.

https://i.imgur.com/ia7cguH.png

I got a quick release pin to hold the silencer in. Thinking it would be a great little thing to make it super easy to install and remove the silencer quickly.

Is kinda loud.

Peaked at 106. Q300 peaked at 103.

JourdanWithaU · 08-28-2019, 02:20 PM

SMH...

Got my hands on a roll of gaffer tape.

Went out to tape the bumper sides to the fenders. May have gone a little overboard.

https://i.imgur.com/ELM7kyH.png

Just in time for an AutoX event.

https://i.imgur.com/tuYxRrZ.png

Hit a couple of cones. Good thing I brought the tape with me!

https://i.imgur.com/Pqm6eA4.png

On the whole, did ok. Not great. But ok. I'm starting to regret my tire choice.

https://i.imgur.com/5TF6axG.png

But the car drove ok. Didn't explode. Added 8 launches to the transmission. Seems so far the only piece that is having a bad time is the clutch.

JourdanWithaU · 10-14-2019, 12:02 PM

Finally got the white bumper back and a bunch of bits from the dealer.

https://i.imgur.com/F2WAz91.png

Bumper on with all new clips and brackets.

https://i.imgur.com/41uB7vp.png

Finally the stars aligned and I got to do some fun things with the car...

https://i.imgur.com/qUTS4BU.png

Swapping wheels and brakes at an event wasn't fun.

https://i.imgur.com/nPkH6gk.png

The R-comps are a bit of a squeeze.

https://i.imgur.com/r7Sx17M.png

Luckily my cameras caught some of my rubber...

https://i.imgur.com/bYUcEgl.png https://i.imgur.com/VDx4gpP.png

But sure enough, the car was working for too long.

https://i.imgur.com/kWuQskU.png

It's broken again. This time the clutch is totally burnt out. Couldn't even limp it home.

https://i.imgur.com/a9t1DLe.png

Running around on the slicks was fun though.

JourdanWithaU · 10-24-2019, 04:49 PM

Ordered a new clutch. Trying Competition Clutch Stage 2 this time.

https://i.imgur.com/7sYE5m5.jpg

Got the car back to my mechanic. He seemed thrilled...

https://i.imgur.com/eYfTtFt.png

https://i.imgur.com/vOF08LZ.png

Old clutch out. Engine side didn't look too bad.

https://i.imgur.com/7OulMPR.png

Trans side however...

https://i.imgur.com/NdORtWT.png

Yeah, that would do it.

New clutch in.

https://i.imgur.com/LQTYeMH.png

Car is back home. Get to be gentile for the next few hundred miles.

JourdanWithaU · 11-21-2019, 03:31 PM

Worked my way through clutch break-in. Pedal was still wonky. So the pedal problem wasn't a clutch problem. Problem must be with either the slave cylinder, master cylinder, or line. I figure if I'm going to change all that, I'll do the brake master cylinder too. Just all new hydralics.

Just as the clutch is broken is... Some lights come on.

https://i.imgur.com/7oooW4K.png

What's the issue?

https://i.imgur.com/6Hc6NXE.png

Of course... Off she goes...

https://i.imgur.com/jT0OrtQ.png

Wasn't alone this time.

https://i.imgur.com/hB2cCKF.png

Swapped out the hydraulics and the cam and crank position sensors.

Left side still a little advanced...

https://i.imgur.com/ip1eV5X.png

Gotta get to the timing belt... again...

https://i.imgur.com/zxZirgT.png

Belt still lined up. Perhaps the cam gear has gone bad and got stuck in advance.

While the radiator was out, a crack was found.

https://i.imgur.com/x0dHiFt.png

And while the car was on the lift a broken endlink was found.

https://i.imgur.com/FUFUmdn.png

Excuse me, both endlinks were broken...

https://i.imgur.com/sQpAvNV.png

I hope I'm starting to run out of random **** that can break...

Luckily I still have my old spherical endlinks. I just need to get a new bolt for those. SO far car is running much better than it was before. I have an appointment with my tuner next week to go over everything and see if it's clear for racing again.
