if you need help let me know. always willing to get bumps, cuts covered in grease, and picking up heavy stuff.

Looking great Rob! How are you liking the performance of the type2's? I like my type 1's I just wish they had adjustable dampening.

Thanks for the support guys. I'll be doing a little work to the car on Friday when you come over, Josh.

I decided to go with a Crower Stage 2 turbo camshaft to match my Crower Valvetrain since I found a deal I couldn't pass up on a brand new one.

I love the F2 Type 2's. But I can't tell any difference between full soft and full stiff on the street. The setup is pretty old now so I'll be replacing the struts at some point to see if that makes a difference with the dampening. Once I start doing autocross next year I'll play around with the dampening and see how the car responds.

I picked up a set of injectors and another Y8 intake manifold tonight. I'll be sending the manifold and my F20C1 throttle body to Maxbore to have them port-matched.

Edit: Since people are always asking for pics, here's half of my car and Jeff's SC from Sunday. Thanks to Randall for the pic.

Nothing new on the car yet. Still buying parts as usual. I bought Integra front knuckles, booster and master cylinder for the ITR brake upgrade and got the Snow Performance Stage 2 Water/Meth Kit.

Wow, it's been almost a month since I've updated this. In my last update I mentioned getting Integra knuckles for an ITR front brake upgrade. I have since abandoned that plan and bought myself an early Christmas preset.



Wilwood Dynalite 11.00" BBK w/ solid rotors and BP10 pads. I haven't had the chance to test the brakes to their full potential, but the difference between these and my old 9.40" OEM brakes is incredible.

As for other updates, I'm still having issues with my Spoon SW388 wheels. I knew they weren't going to clear my new brakes without a wheel spacer so I swapped my Konigs back on the car due to having a more forgiving spoke design. After removing them from the car, I found the one that had just been repaired had cracked again in the same two places. I may try and locate another wheel or just buy a different set of wheels. I also purchased an ITR Front Strut Tower Bar, Hardrace Super Tie Rod Ends, and a Golden Eagle Master Cylinder Brace. I'm planning on getting those along with my other ITR suspension and brake parts installed by the end of January.

I'm sure most of you can tell now that I won't have the turbo kit on the car by the end of next month like I was hoping. I've decided to change and upgrade a few things so my new goal is to have it installed by September.

Overall, I'm happy with the progress I made this year. The car has come a long way from where it was a year ago sitting as a rolling shell. Thanks to everyone that made this build possible. Look out for a new thread next year as I progress to the next level with this car and start doing SCCA Solo and HPDE's.
