Isn't that part of the fun of driving a FWD in the winter?

The rack looks sick. That's on my future to do list if I decide to mod this fit.

I have used 2 and 4 snow tires and have been fine either way. I usually mess around on open roads but definitely agree the 4 tires is much grippier.

Oh yes! You just need to disable VSA+TCS first. Anyways, mechanical handbrake rules!

Brake fluid change at 20000 miles - the brake fluid was full of particulates - never saw it so bad on any car. Never.

Nice! Post up pics when you get it installed. I have one on order from the same shop. The day it was supposed to ship I found out their delivery was short from HKS so mine didn’t make it, wah

Did an oil change and installed my Fumoto oil drain valve. Plus a nozzle on the other side if I wanted to hook a tube to a container for no spill oil change.

I am the only 3G to try it. Involves cutting off your shock tops on the frame, and possibly removing the windshield wipers during install on the 3G. Seamus had the template below he shared with me and I'm going to make it a go! This will seriously improve handling on the track. Very excited!


TCS caster camber plates

Lucky template
Install complete! See below. Still have not had a chance to drive her yet, maybe tomorrow!

Pretty sure this is going to be an incredible mod when all is said and done...

Today, I've ordered a set of Enkei RPF1 16x7 offset 43mm, a full Project Mu HC+ brake pads set (front + rear), the Garage Vary Low Fender Trim and the camber bolts...

Excited to see it here now !

Methanol injection


Snow Performance Stage 1 Methanol Water Injection Kit
so this came in the mail today... due to the 12.5:1 compression pistons and E85 tune I'm getting, I decided to add a methanol injection kit. May be worth a few ponies. The tuner will be able to significantly increase WOT timing. Unfortunately the kit i ordered and every kit i could see is set up for boosted cars and it turns on the pump when you reach a selected psi of boost. I need a different signal. WOT? Above a certain RPM? Third and fourth gear Actuators? Thoughts are welcome...

Good luck! Sounds like fun. I did a lot of messing around with the engine years ago - fun. Now I just want good MPG.
