Had my buddy Sang codrive too (PrimeAKF11 or something like that on 3S forums)

Started my STR build last night after a frustrating Philly autocross where I coned away my only runs that felt "ok" so here's the header install. Suspension later this week, hopefully.

Video of the Philly SCCA event will come soon too.
Sunday I did Philly's event at Warminster. Won my class and 8th in PAX. Coned away a much better result

STR prep is complete (ish...) There's lightweight brake rotors, a tune, diff bushing inserts, and wheels/tires to come. Wheels/tires coming this week :)
Big thanks to Karcepts for all of the parts and thanks to my brother for taking care of me and getting work done :)

Quite a bit of firewall flex with moderate braking force...
Is there sufficient room to install a brace? I wonder how much the firewall on my 86 flexes when I push hard on the pedal.
I'm designing a brace, yes.Quote:

I got my preliminary wheels & tires ready to go for STR. :) Waiting for my 6ULs to show up at some undetermined point in time, haha.

Excuse the filthy car, it rained today. :(
You have all the fun
Yeah, he's been having mine, too.
I try anyway :)
He means real 86.....AE86. So I bet it flexes even more so.Quote:

I did have a flyer in the PM that was a LOT faster, but +3 (turned in on them like a doofus)

Even more fun, I had an STR stalwart in Noel Leslie in my car to help me dial it in. With a couple of changes it was magic :)
Noel's fastest run:

My fastest official run:

In the PM, I ran noncomp and made some car changes and it felt even better :)

Your car always looks like it just eats slaloms
Hooooooooooseeeeeeel!!!!!!!
That was pretty damned smoove, Doc...:biggrin:
BTW Brian Karwan is the 2019 STR national champion. By transitive property and all of that I'm now national champion?!? At least I'm a bench racing extraordinaire :D
Philly special baby!Quote:

Excuse the lack of audio, water in the mic connector.
My clean run, then my dirty run:

Jon's run, he ended up a couple spots behind me in PAX, but less than a tenth off!

The pic of you doing a burnout with the starter pointing made me laugh for no reason. "Go forth and slaughter those cones!"
LOL. The starter in that pic is awesome, he does great poses and he'd totally do thatQuote:

Got home and tore down an ND1 diff that had an OS Giken LSD installed. Reinstalled the stock diff into the ND1 pumpkin. The OS Giken LSD will go into an ND2 pumpkin and then get swapped into my car :)

Man, STR is the best. I pulled off a first in PAX and third in raw, only behind an SM car and a DSP car (both much faster classes that SHOULD be faster than me in raw time)
My fastest run:

My codriver, Jon's fastest run:

Your run video would be funny if you bleeped your own celebratory swearing. The run looked really good though.
Cussing is bad form.
Now I can only watch while wearing ear plugs...:sad:
Almost Nathan levels of flannel there guy........beard next?
I was tempted to do that, lolQuote:

Swapped to an OS Giken diff :) Bit under 4 hours of work time, mostly by myself. Had my dad help with the jack while I was dropping and reinstalling the subframe.

Installed the Aurora Auto Designs lowering rails on my Recaros. Quite a job... but well worth it, now I can wear a helmet and fit under the roof and I'm 6'4" tall :)

So, this is a "Doc-Lowering" mod...
It is indeed. It's amazingly different driving to work with such better visibility
Hear much about the new XS class?
Nevermind I might be making shit up. I can't find it again, could've sworn I saw it come through in an e-mail. Was supposed to be modified cars on street tires, similar to CAM.
Nah, you're not making it up. XS seems fun. I am currently in possession of a spare trunk lid and will be ordering a spoiler to mess around with those classes. Without a turbo I'd not stand much chance but it would be fun, lolQuote:

I'd suspect CAM is the way to go. My ND can run XS-B and it would probably win every event I ran in XS because I suspect the competition will be weak for a while. CAM is finally getting some legs under it, most of the time stock cars are faster...Quote:
