Thanks guys!

A few new parts that will be installed shortly:

OEM steel flywheel, ARP bolts, and exedy OE replacement clutch.. Watch me snatch some mid 12s and another 50k miles on OE parts.. zero @!#$ will be given!

Sumitomo HTR ZIII tires. Stuck with the same size as my current tires which is 225/45/17. Great price and reviews on these tires!

Brockway Engineering digital gauge. Borrowing one from a local friend to test it out. So far it works flawless on my 00 CRV but will not connect with my Cav. Not sure what the deal is yet..I really want to run a stock dash and install this below the HVAC controls.

The Brockway is a no go! It will not connect to Cavaliers. Thankfully I was loaned one to test out beforehand.. Going with the innovate iPhone app instead. Should be making that purchase shortly.

Here's a short video of our drive home from an Auto X this past Sunday.. Keep in mind his Lotus runs consistant 12.0s @ 117mph...

RIP MCA.



Some pictures I've taken over the past few weeks with my iPhone. Some edited with Instagram!

Installing the clutch at Jon/Pam's house. It was a huge help using a proper facility and great friends!

Pulled the front suspension to inspect my custom front camber plate setup, clean everything, and assembled with a high impact grease to keep wear and tear down (this stuff is insane..). Very pleased to say the Dspecs are in great working order after being slammed a full season and being almost 4 years old. Also gave the wheel wells a fresh coat of flat black. Note how much thread I have left on the coilovers!

Mounted and balanced my new tires at work Thursday and had Belle Tire align it Saturday morning. I normally don't trust these places but I know a few people and they took really good care of me. Camber is set to 1 degree all around. The Sumitomos are a great tire. I like them more than my old KDW2s.

Some new piping that will be used when we swap turbos and go external this weekend. 3" pipe for an intake setup with K&N filter, 2" pipe for most of the hotside, and misc couplers/clamps. Currently 2.5" and routed like crap. I will post before and after pictures to explain when done.

Slightly lengthy GoPro video from inside the Lotus. The bike is a Triumph Daytona 675.

New section of hot side. Changed to a 2" pipe opposed to my previous 2.5" pipe and had it welded up by my buddy Russell (Dead Hook Tuning). Eliminated a few couplers since my setup has never been welded!

New Godspeed "super60" turbo being installed along with my freshly powder coated Tial MVS waste gate.

As you can see, the Godspeed "super60" has considerably larger wheels. It ended up being an accidental upgrade. The header will be wet sanded and polished after final welds are done when converting it to external gate. Also the internal gate housing was modified to be used as an adapter between the turbine housing and down pipe.

Haha a new sig would be great someday!

We parked by the Audi at the autoX. No idea who owns it. Super super clean though.
