I am adding a Nismo gauge cluster and possibly a powder coated upper intake plenum. I havent even seen my car since my last show at the beginning of Aug. I hope to get back down with you guys this year. It was a lot of fun.

Barny, after 4.5 years I finally broke down and proposed to Liz. Our wedding is being planned for June but its not set yet.

I hope to go much faster than last year....

Parts have been ROLLING in for the last couple of weeks:
Cusco RS 1.5way diff (on the way)
SPL diff bushings (already here)
Nismo finned diff cover (already here)
(4) 275/35 hoosier A6's & (4) 295/30's (already here)
Hypercoil springs (already here).....spring rate classified
Carter Thompson solid front sway bar (already here)
Going to fab up and weld on a new axle back....potentially just a damn straight pipe.
Picked up OEM 17's to get to and from events as well...

The plan is to beat up on PCA for a couple FTD's, hopefully be within a second of the XP cobras at CDC, win consistently in BSP at cumberland, and dominate D.C. region SCCA.

My car is too ugly to be in a show....

I hope to be 1.5-2 seconds faster on a 40 second course, 2-2.25 on a 50 second course and close to 3 seconds faster on a 60 second course.

You should be able to close the gap a bit this season though....you were 5.9 (40 second FTD) seconds back on the first event and ~4.5 seconds back in the second (33 second FTD) once I fixed the seat.
