So what are you doing to your car during the offseason?

STR is going to be competitive this year it looks like, should be fun.

Got the new RPF-1's in, new RS-3's,
STR-legal insulated CAI is in progress,
new clutch,
transmission all fresh and rebuilt,
fresh fluids everywhere,
stiffer motor mounts
more aggressive alignment settings
car is at the tuner for a custom reflash as I type
new top installed
contemplating stripe options...

17x9 RPF1's? Still got the Kosei's, too?

Looking forward to seeing your car prepped. Let me know if you need a co-driver

I am a little late to this party but I am getting some R Comps for the Stalker and selling the Porsche because I bought a new GTi last month.

I'm going to install a Turbo Encabulator.

I believe Flyin' Miata is using the dynotronics reflash now, too.

I think their version is for S/C applications; not sure if they offer the NA reflash. Also, Mazda used DPTune for the Super20.

German for German swap. Are you using the GTI as a daily driver or going to race it also?

Mostly DD but I will bring it out on the 30th. The SuperStalker is still my main track toy

On the to-do list:

• New wheels
• New tires
• Inspect belts & maybe replace
• Fix small oil leak (valve cover gasket I think/hope)
• Troubleshoot/fix EGR tube leak
• Troubleshoot/fix cooling problem
• Figure out the best way to spend any left over money.

Thread revival. How'd everyone do? Let's see, for me...

• New wheels - Check. TRMotorsport C1 15x7.5.
• New tires - Check. Dunlop Star Specs.
• Inspect belts & maybe replace - Check. Replaced.
• Fix small oil leak (valve cover gasket I think/hope) - Check? I think it's fixed. I replaced the valve cover gasket and CAS o-ring.
• Troubleshoot/fix EGR tube leak - Check. The CAS was leaking oil onto the EGR tube, which was then smoking. Looks to be fixed.
• Troubleshoot/fix cooling problem - Check? Replaced the thermostat and a few sketchy looking hoses. Might have to wait until it June or so to see if it's really all good.
• Figure out the best way to spend any left over money - Check. I got a RaceChrono data logger set up, an alignment, new shifter boots, and some magnetic numbers.

Now, I just need to wash it.
