Well I have 955 miles on her now. Fucking taking forever BUT she is feeling more responsive everyday and I am getting a PERFECT tune done for cruise all the way up to Atmospheric pressure.


I am in Picture Whore Mode. Was a nice evening and the color of the car stands out the best at dusk. Crappy phone pics but better then nothing...








I thought this was a cool shot but wish I could get it in a larger fromat from my cell

Most definately road trip time. Thinking about putting 440 on her by heading to billings and back. Suppose to snow here on Monday(man I hate winter) but if not I am going.

Little update: Unfortunately nothing really new. I have some new parts I am gonna put under the knife this winter. I am gonna put on some poly bushings via my good friend project86. My bushings are stock and honestly I was thinking about just buying new OEM BUT I was convinced from friends that I might as well go big or go home.

I did order a new clear speedo cluster cover from Cyberstork via RHDJAPAN. That should look nice since my 21 year old plastic looks like ass.

I have ran into another exhst hic-up and am gonna re-weld a new flange on my DP. My thread is in the 2nd gen section.

Winter is here in Montana early(blows balls) and until I get this exhst system fixed and supported better I won't be driving if we get any clear days soon. 900 miles to go............. at least I can boost 5 psi right now WHOOP PEE! More time to tune I guess.

As for DEC/JAN projects I am looking into some new wheels and maybe some side skirts and a lip. SSR Sp-1's OR Work Meister S1's in 17''

If anyone wants my old SSR MK-IIR's by the time I want to get these new wheels, let me know. Give you a deal!!

It was nothing. My buddies at work don't understand the obsession with rotaries EVEN THOUGH I try to relate it to being obsessed with the NFL. I think I will have one of them turned if he buys a used s4 t2 we found.

So another little update- Still waiting on a custom V-band for my exhaust. I have tried almost every local diesel shop and automotive performance shop in Montana and I can't find a V-band with an inside apex of .340 or higher. My DP and turbine housing flange lip width is roughly .365 combined with no angle.

I will call ATP turbo tomorrow to see if they can hook me up. I honestly miss the 3 bolt configuration lol. Hopefully my machine shop gets this "fixed" with a trick he knows of.

I have been contemplating what suspension upgrades I want to do this winter. I am looking at a pair of coilovers from BC Racing that a buddy has on his FC in town. He swears it rides better then the Tokico Blue/Tanabe GF210 set up I have(or any other strut/spring combo), I believe it since BC's are rated at 8k F/ 6k R. I need to ride in it.

I am going to install some new black poly bushings and am looking at some aftermarket sway bars BUT have been reading numerous opinions about upgrading the front bar only since the beefy rear bar brings about understeer when racing(I will be racing this pig in the future...I think ) I am still in the air.

As for wheels I have been spying many types and really am overwhelmed to make a good decision. SSR SP-1's are awesome BUT I have loved RE Amemiya AW-7's in 17'' since forever. Work Miesters are fucking wonderful BUT if I want coilovers the Works will be a long time out haha. I think I am leaning more toward the AW-7's then painting the center gloss graphite.

Basically I am getting depressed that winter is coming and I have a 5 month stand still until WOT tuning.

Hey Sean, as far as suspension goes, I'm running the Stance C/o's in a 7/5 combo, RB front bar, NO rear bar and I get no understeer when my tires are warm. As far as ride quality, I've got my shocks set midway through the adjustment side and unless it's a washboard road or a huge pothole (I've been ejected from my seat and hit the roof before) I'd have to agree that the ride is a bit more forgiving. I hated my blues after a year or so.

I'm also running a a Torsen rear which helps out tremendously
