the goal for my car is to run njmp thunderbolt with no chicane in a minute 36. this time would make me faster than a stock gtr. i'm already at a minute 39.
i got my car in august 2010. i had wanted a sti since they came out. the plan was to keep it stock for the first year. it has been my daiy driver. the in june 2011 i went to a driving school on track. more addictive than heroine. i fell in love with tracking my car and quickly realized my brakes werent up to the job. so i upgraded the fluid,lines, pads, and rotors. i also then got an ap and flashed stage 1 for a little more power. i was thrilled with my car. i did a couple more trackdays and continued to daily drive my car. then over winter i got a sponsorship from racecomp engineering and instaled their camberplates and black springs. they made a huge improvement to the handling of the car. much less understeer and the car was more predictable. then the middle of summer 2012 i got a cai and protune from ray at turbotek tuning. great guy and great tuner. i threw in a harness to hold me in place while on track. this summer i was doing a track day every other weekend. with all the heat i put into the calipers they seized. this brought me to a relization. i realized that prepping my car for the track and putting it back for the street isn't going to work longterm. so while it was out of commission i decided to retire it to track and weekend warrior duty and pick up a beater. i'm building it to be a track car that i can drive to and from the track. i'm going stage two over winter and installing some other things that will be revieled soon enough. pics to come
