I say its time to build it up and try to beat Ms. Chu into the 9's.
It surely is. I always question people complaining about certain parts on these cars being weak, but I see time and time again that it is proven wrong. Aside from my synchros going bad, I haven't had any issues with mine.

the car was setup to be competitive in Spec E30, he was running slicks. so it's definitely harder on the car but some of the problems he was having didn't have to do with running slicks. it would sucks to miss track sessions if you didn't have a reliable car. but it sounds like you have a good plan.

Buy me an Aeromotive 340 and some bigger injectors and i'll do it. I have been dying to see what the HKS will do on corn. I've seen people reporting in the 400s.

Doesn't seem like there are any visible damage from outside. It is sad, but the motor has definitely served well, holding 500hp in stock form for over 2 years.
I think its bc he spent too much time idling it at the BBQ

just got word from RT Tuning my car passes the strict RTR tech inspection. all i have to do now is show up at the Glen on Friday.

also got the car corner balanced, camber bumped to 3.5* front and 1.5* rear. zero toe all around and 4.5* castor up front. Car weighed 3410 with 190lbs of weight in it and was a perfect 50/50 weight distrubution (criss-cross, not front to rear). Can't wait to see how this thing handles the turns now.
