So I found a Sparco Circuit seat, Sparco racing shoes and Sparco gloves from Racer Industries all for some good prices.

Got the seat all mocked up and made some seat rails and made some harness mount plates.
Also thought it was a good idea to get a few fire extinguishers, mounted them up on the LH side floor.

Swapped out the tyres off my old wheels to the new evo 7 enkei wheels, had to get a few wheel alignments to get it right.

Finally on Wednesday I loaded up and went out to Willowbank.
First session out and I was quicker straight up, 1:06
As of the last session I managed a 1:03.37sec. That's pretty good considering a 300kw evo was doing 1:01

My app that I was using said I did a 1:02 and reckons I could do a 1:00

I was having quite a bit of problems with understeer early/mid corner, I'm pretty sure these tyres are rekt now and the coilovers might be a bit soft for the track work.

There were a couple more cracks in the front bar then I first saw, so i seam welded both sides and painted it blaaaack

 

 

I didn't get any pictures of trying to put the rear bar in but fuuuuuuuuuuuck what an asshole of a job, had to drop the whole subframe to get it in.

 

only got this pic of the of the diff dropped down

 

 

Taking it for another wheel alignment tomorrow, 

will be getting

Front

Camber - 3.5* neg per side

Toe - 1mm out per side

 

Rear

Camber - 1.5* neg per side

Toe - 1mm in per side

Got the 2 diff support bars out,

 

The rear bar bushes where pretty drooped

 

 

New bushes in

 

 

 

Now the front bar is cracked in the middle on both sides

 

 

 

 

I've gotten the bushes replaced in the front support bar but I'll have to weld up the cracks before i fit it back into the car.

All photos were taken by my Mrs on her new DSLR I got her for her birthday.

I will definitely be doing more track days when I fix some more things and can get out.

Does anyone else reckon they can come for a strap?

The crank is smashing into a concrete layer of oil. That's going to slow everything down.

Haha reminds me of the show car I have[emoji14]

I had this problem with putting my engine and gearbox together with a twin plate clutch... on the floor...

Come on now guys, take it to the bed room.. I mean inbox..

Does anyone know the part number for the tail shaft to rear diff bolts? I can't fucking find mine. :'[

I love my solid mounts[emoji106] But I can understand how the vvvviiiibbbrrrrraaaattttiiiiooonnn can get a bit much for some, so the holes will add a bit of give to them.

I had solid mounts in my Integra and my civic and they were just way too harsh. I put 60a mounts in the civic and it was a lot better than the 92a.
I'm hoping drilling some holes will help.

Nice engine mount Great build!

They are just like I said they would be, Hard.
Very solid.
I'm pulling the engine out to fix some oil leaks in weird places so I'll drill some holes in them like we discussed while it's out.

Talking about oil leaks, how am I getting a oil leak around the #1 intake runner above the headgasket? My rocker cover doesn't look like it's leaking.. and I don't see where the oil is coming from its just dripping from the bottom bolt under the #1 runner.
