This is the wheel color. Don't mind the shittiness, this is just to see what the color is going to look like. It'll be redone when I do the whole thing. I'm also thinking about trying to polish the lips, but I'm not sure about that yet.

Little update, leading up to a bigger one soon I was a little off on the mounting location, but meh. I'll redo it when I get a nicer gauge and/or pod. (IB4filthywindshield)

So, yeah. About that bigger update. I had my spare ECU flashed to "stage 1" on Thursday. This is a very minor tune for cars, like mine, with no hardware mods. The following numbers are second gear. Stock spiked to 15PSI, dropped steadily and quickly down to 9PSI by 4k. Now spikes 16-17PSI, holds 15PSI all the way to 5k where it starts to drop. Result: Initial kick in the pants feels very similar, but instead of kicking you then falling on its face it just keeps pulling. It also seems to run and idle smoother than it ever has. I'm a happy camper (who is already ready for more )

Nice! Is this on the red car or the car you race? You still racing the black car?

That's in this one. Still running the black car, my local club lost our autox location and we haven't gotten a new one ironed out yet. I did one autox down in NY a while ago, and I'm hoping to make a track day in july and another in September Cleaned up the 9k a bit and snapped some quick pics. Man I need to get that hood painted (the gigantic stone chips are edited out) 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Compared to this time(ish) last year, back when I used Deviantart My how things change

Not exactly. First set with my new setup (went from Powershot A720IS to XSi + 55-250) and went back to the location I used last time. Lots to learn, but I'm starting to get used to it... 1) 2) 3) 4) 5)

Been a while... End of the season pics... "Swedish" plate, older Aero wheels (my tires were beyond fuxxor'd, straight trade). Looked like this: Now looks like this (except with the other 2 Aero wheels off, and with a lot more snow on top). Keeping it away from the salt and idiots. Of course that means a winter beater is in order, so I got this '96 900SE a while back for $600.... Then, about a week and a half ago some lady decided that evasive maneuvers are difficult, overcorrected, and smacked her 2005 Honda Civic into the side of it on the interstate. Both cars are totalled, her insurance is giving me just over $3k for my car Waiting for the check to arrive, looking for a "new" car.
