Thanks :tup:

So I took the car to the track last weekend after swapping on some 315/30R19 Michelin Sport Cup 2's on the rear. Needless to say my clutch was not happy and has given up as of today.

Drove up there with 2 of my friends, the Black mustang has pretty much everything done to it and the Roush stage 2 supercharger, the FRS has the Edelbrock supercharger as well (he really needs to get the header & exhaust upgraded) The good news is I can beat a supercharged FRS

This is the only strip we have and it was disused for a few years. Thankfully we have access to it again so we are trying to get it back to a usable state with timing equipment etc

Zspeed stage 3 kit was ordered today :happydance:

Should see it before january hopefully.

The PW looks good!

you sir are slammed lol

It's not THAT bad....i do need to raise it about a 1/4" though. Will do that when it's in the air for the clutch job.

4 weeks later! Clutch kit is here along with an b&m shifter. The last wheel I was waiting on arrived as well so I am going to get the 4 of them painted so I can finally get go square.

Unfortunately it's raining here now and my work area isn't covered.

What a job. Definitely couldn't have done it by myself like my Miata. Transmission is heavy as lead

Initial impressions are positive, there is NO rattling noise at all from the flywheel & pedal effort is pretty much the same as stock. The B&M shifter is great, no buzzing or anything from that either.

Can't wait to go put some mileage on it later

After a morning in traffic my observations are

1) there is some resonance/noise around 2k which I expected
2) it's a bit juddery to slip at the moment, can't wait till it's broken in
3) I need engine and transmission mounts due to #2

The wheels didn't get painted so I decided to just mount up the old rear tires on the new to me 19x10's anyway.


Car is slowly getting to where I want it. Next up are some new tires, sways and Z1 engine/trans mounts.

P0430 code came up. I really didn't want to have to get an exhaust or tune till all the turbo stuff is put together.

I might bide my time with some resonated test pipes and a reflash....

After quite a few years hiatus and abandonment our 1/8 mile strip reopened. It's still in a little rough shape and there was no timing equipment so it was pretty much a call out type situation.

So I gutted the cats and got a tune from Seb @ specialty Z.

I didn't win a single race but the important thing is I looked good losing (and had loads of fun)

The civic was B20 powered on nitrous.

Don't have a shot of any of the other races I ran yet but I'll update when I get them

Finally got the wheels painted and some new tires on.

It look's like gloss black unless the sun is out or you're up close. I love the look.

In other news my GTR turbo adapter kit will be here monday and I'm on the look out for some turbo's.

A friend that bought an intercooler core for a project he no longer has decided to drop it off to me this weekend.

A nice Vibrant 25 x 11.8 x 3.5 core. Mocked it up and figured I'd give it a shot.

Obviously not to scale but you get the idea

Also a potato pic of an adapter from Husam :happydance:

Turbos, oil & water lines, oil cooler, exhaust, fuel pump, injectors and a tune. Maybe I'll be boosted for 2018 after all

Cool stuff! I’m looking forward to your progress.
