    The daily has Tokico adjustables, stock springs, RB front and rear bars, a header, a ghetto intake, and I'll run azenis or 225 rs2. Where does that put me?

    1.8L with Torsen is not allowed in STS, looks like CSP is where your car is classed. Everybody in that class will be modded to a rediculous point. Just run what you've got and have a good time.

    I've enjoyed playing in SSM here in Austin, but I have a lot more car so the "gross driver error" is a bit more apparent. On street rubber I basically have no traction at any point in 2nd when going straight. 3 more inches of rubber, per tire, and hopefully make 2nd gear less violent.

    sm2 is now called ssm. They killed the #'s because it was confusing at events.

    just thought I'd let everyone know that last night I thought I blew up the rear end...turns out it was just breaking the all-season rubber loose in 4th gear on the highway, lol. I'm definitely turning the boost down for the track if I can pitch is sideway in 4th on the street.

    I'm not even surprised dude, your making huge power, it was all seasons for christ's sake, and plus that's what you get for trying to use 4th gear on the highway, JEEZ what were you thinking.

    I was just casually accelerating from a light in 4th at 3800rpm...where the torque comes on the hardest. Tonight I'm going to have a sit-down with my car and we're going to talk about how much power we want to make and if where we sit now is a little excessive.

    I'm going to tune it up to MBT if possible on 91-octane, then roll spark back 1*, then fill up with 93-octane. That way I know the car is safe at whatever MAP and can still drive the car in OK without detonation. Its easy to say that I only need 12psi (240whp/230wtq)on the track, but its hard to say that 18psi (300/285) can't be enjoyed on the street with a 6-speed.

    almost done adding stuff
    my cops:

    my relocated oil pressure sender:


    The cops were an almost unnoticable gain in "generally running better." Basically the fast recovery on idle was better, but I probably could have gotten in close with some tuning. The real magic will come when I go from .02 to .045 plug gap on the dyno in the next couple of weeks. That much more spark should help make even more torque. Right now, even at .02 I have spark blow-out when its cool out. This is already fixed.

    this car looks like garbage. I wish I stuck with 99-wheels.

    Hopefully the big, 9" bronze wheels will look this good. I rolled around Austin last night with these wheels, and at least 100-women offered themselves to me.
