Laomatik's Build Journal

Hello from Smyrna, TN. I've had this car almost a year now and I guess I should start a journal.
I got the car as a stock 2012 base sport and have since added a few things to hopefully be able to do a few HPDEs in the future.

Mods-
K&N Drop-in Filters
Z1 Post MAFs tubes
Berk non-resonated test pipes
Tomei Expreme Ti CBE

Suspension-
Stance Coilovers
SPL rear camber arms
SPL eccentric lock out

Wheels-
Volk Re30 19x10 +22 Front 19x11 +22 Rear
Hankook V12 285/30 Front 305/35 Rear

Car put down 298 WHP and 242 Lbs-Ft on a DynoJet in 4th gear untuned.

Thanks man. I meant to keep it stockish and get back to work on the e30 but now it's taken precedence lol. At least until I'm happy with it :ughdance:

Yea I Don't know if I have any from when I first got it either. I'm going to try and document things better and maybe do some DIY's on any upcoming mods I do.

First track day tomorrow :ughdance:
Last minute thing so hopefully the car will do ok given its current state. About to put some new brake fluid and check the suspension bits. Wish me luck. :ugh2:

Track day was a BLAST! Definitely a humbling experience as well. I learned a lot about how the car handles at its limits thanks to the crappy V12's, like driving on a slip n' slide lol. Also, stock pads performed like I thought they would, so better pads and fluids will be added ASAP. Power level is more than adequate right now expecially on the current tires. I can't put the power down which led to some side ways shinanigans on more than one occasion. Pictures and maybe a short video or two coming soon!

Update or lack there of: I've been enjoying the car a lot with the tune and SpecialtyZ has been giving awesome support through the process. No more CEL from the test pipes and I will find time to write a proper review when I'm not busying driving my car :D
