Custom longtube headers. I believe the flanges are from sasha@ SG.

 

Headers were made by a local guy to me, and he did an awesome job. I got nice slip-fit collectors, header flanges from SG Motorsports, and tubing, then he did the rest.

GRM UTCC is in less than 3 weeks........i hope i have the last few bugs worked out by then.

 

Track event went well, lots of great cars there and a bunch of nice guys accompanied with rude arrogant d*cks as well. I went through a bit of last minute trouble to try and fix my cooling issues both coolant and oil temps were high at the last event.

I installed a FC RX7 oilcooler right in front of the radaitor, and i sealed off the hood where its been lifted so high. Results - Oil temps came down, coolant temps are still sky high, so i think ducting and thermostat removed will hopefully do the trick.

Toyo RA1s are not grippy enough on hit days to get more than 5 decent laps in on track, tho lower tire pressures did help a bit, but still only 5 laps or so and then greasiness.

The shifter situation has not been fixed, it was not an issue with my actual shifter at the last event, but more a geometry issue that has to be corrected in order to be able to drive the car smoothly and engage the correct gear each time and avoid bad things and mistakes on track.

Once the tire issue and shifter issues are actually fixed this car will rip, i think both fixes will cause my lap times to come down quite a bit and i can once again concentrate on just driving and not worry about the car and its issues, like i did last year when i gained so much speed with the old setup.

2010 GRM UTCC just part of a lap i thought was alright... on Vimeo

First video is my fastest lap, but the issues are noticeable in areas, and the second video is half a lap that i think would have been my fastest lap had the checkered flag get thrown when going through oaktree (the last corner in the video).

Pictures to come, many many pics my friend took that i plan on stealing from him .

 

Love watching your vids.

 

did you catch the cobra???

 

yes , 3 corners later, that part of the video got bad, he was watching me in his mirrors way too much and went WAY off line all 3 corners in a row.

 

nice I like your setup... my 9K HR is planning on going into an S-chassis... problem is they are all molested or people want like $10k for them... still looking for a clean chassis hopefully S14.. were planning on 350whp with E85 so fuel weight will be an issue for track use... my project is on hold for a revup JWT twin turbo S13... ya... its insane!!!

 

 

very nice, this is a swap I would love to do
