It's been a while since I updated my member ride post, so here's the list of new stuff that has been done to the car; It has a boost controller (a greddy profec b) so I can run 15psi when racing (10psi on the street). Aaron has fabbed up a prototype rear sway bar which works awesome. Camber bolts have been added up front adding 2.5 degrees or so of camber. And the most exciting new addition: It now has 205 50 15" Falken Azenis RT-615's. Damn those are a great tire! I recommend them highly to anyone who both races and street drives their car. As it stands this is still my only car and I drive it to work everyday as it sits.


A recent autocross, previous to my new tire purchase. (wet conditions do not like front wheel drive turbos)

We had the car Dyno'ed and she laid down 218hp and 228 ft lbs of torque at the front wheels!! She does drive like a torque monster I must say, with a power band that starts pretty much where a stock 1.8L 16v does. As you can see by the sheet below the torque curve is broad and flat (and very high up there!). What more could you ask for?




Here's me on the return road after making a 14.21 1/4 mile pass




Here's my staging up against the new Bahn Brenner car (I beat him in that race and below is the slip to prove it!)





And a few new pics of my car after racing. Yes that's me in the hat.







Its been an interesting summer, and I hope to make my car even more competitive next year at the autocrosses and the drag strip.
