Re: Long time lurker... (video inside)
Thanks for the comments, good or bad...
The reason I have this car is because I needed an AB car while I worked on my C-Prepared race car, but I autocrossed it and slowly threw money at it. I'm upside-down on it, so it's not worth getting rid of, and the 34mpg is very decent considering current gas prices.
I'll work on getting video without the music. I didn't put the video together, so I have to shoot an email for the raw footage.
The car does oversteer a little right now. I just made the switch from Azenis RT315s to the Kuhmo V710s, so I'm playing with the suspension settings and air pressures to get the rotation back. It has great throttle lift oversteer, but the rear could be a little more loose everywhere.
The Scoupe manifold could have worked, but anything bigger than the shitty T15 gives you clearance problems. That, and the cost of the manifold keeps going up. Some weld-els and my welder fixed all of that.
Here are some more pictures:
Turbo and manifold before I installed the external wastegate (had to get it on the car to find the clearance problems)
I'll run out and get a finished engine shot tomorrow....
