Bump for no replies since my dyno LOL. So sad
Already planning the gathering the next go around of parts

 

A few more updates!


Went to mid Ohio Monday and used basically what was left of the RS3's.





It was the best time of my life! My first track day ever. Hitting 155 on the back stretch. Could've hit 165 if I wasn't braking early. It's a little scary slowing down from that speed lol.

Running in novice class I was only using 4 gallons of fuel a session.
And the last session they let me run intermediate and I used almost 8 gallons of fuel in one session! I also went into the grass sideways in the chicane going about 80 or 90 mph.

My only real go pro footage is in the novice group that I'll have to grab off the camera. I didn't get my rally adventure on footage =[


Also....!

Finally some fresh tires! Direzza ZII's 255's went on the rpf1's.




Along with a free keychain from FP!





The first time out since mid Ohio....




Lucky I didn't pop a motor. Car went lean and what do ya know!
Whew!


All in all I've had so much fun with the car lately.


Also my Borla manifold is cracked and now definitely due for replacement. I'll probably order an ETS tubular next Friday.

And my tranny synchros for 3rd and 4th might be going out. They shift fine at 3k Rpm's and up but not under. It's very strange...


And yes this car is high flocking maintenance

 

Who cares about high maintenance when it seems you are having soo much fun with it.
Car looks great

 

Well a little update.

Car finally hit 80k miles. Lots of fun and plenty more to go!






Borla contacted me saying they are sending me a new manifold in the next week that I'm going to just sell for a cheap price to someone looking for one.

I picked up my JMfab manifold though. The weld quality is good and the port work is amazing.








The tab on my fender broke off that keeps my bumper on. Damn aluminum fenders. =\
Gonna look into a quick release kit that is a clean install toxic fab has one but its $200! >_<
I would make my own brackets if anyone has an idea where to get the quick release buttons toxic fab sells?!

 

several things.
1: your car is amazing and inspirational.
2: i recently had the same bumper problem and used a diffrent quick release but for the same purpose check out my build thread. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/al...ld-thread.html

3: this is what you seek, just get some steel and cut a templet. for the braket
http://www.quik-latch.com/

hope this helps

 

Thanks man! Putting a lot of time into it.

I am going with the anodized black mini quik-latches!
Hopefully I can have them done next week or so

 

any time. my buddy saw he the toxicfab price and disappeared for a hour came back with his own design a a slightly difrent quick release system for 40$ eventully i plan to get a quick latch and use the brackets i have in there lol. your build and car still inspire me i wanna go the same route bu my turbo set up is more for drag but i don't wanna break parts and i want more balence to the car.

 

Well it's been an annoying experience to get a broken bolt out of the turbo.
Used some machine that uses a tungsten rod and burned it mostly out saving a little metal to chip away to save the threads. Still ended up losing an heli coiling the turbo. My first heli coil ever. On a almost new turbo. Fml =\

Said machine...







New manifold on! It's already changed colors a lot since picture. Hot manifold is hot.








Next day went to an autocross. Took home 1st in pax and 2nd in raw time.

 

Glad it's inspirational! I plan on keeping this car forever.
I should hopefully get the quik latch done this month. Lots of bills to pay and such =\

 

Been a minute since I have updated this so here is what has happened since I have been gone!

Quick bumper disconnects with some wind splitter support.








Below is my old mustang dyno graph from pure tuning back in april, I went to a dyno day that had a dynojet, this is how the graphs compare! Pretty excited for what this little green did on 25psi.

Just when you thought this build couldn't get much better

 

Damn the rpf1s look nice! Super Meaty

 

Excellent job, sir.
