long weekend update
wow...what a weekend it was. valentine's, chinese new year, and president's day - besides working all day saturday and sunday. i got a couple of things done.
if you recall, i had mounted the bronze se37k's on my car to see if running an 17x8.5 +45 wheel with a 255/40 tire would clear. i have since gotten my wheels powdercoated and mounted a fresh set of federal 595 rs-r tires.
all i can say is that the car feels AMAZING to drive now. the front of the car does feel a little looser now because everything has been in essence shortened but the driving response on turn in is super direct. i like it. i also did some really minor changes to my car. if you can spot them, you get a cookie.
i slso helped my buddy ben out with his new integra type r. he traded his '00 s2000 for this car straight across and he was having issues with overheating. i pulled the thermostat and boiled it to see if it was opening, just to be on the safe side. it did open and turns out he was low about a gallon of coolant. so, problem solved.
today, with the day off. i headed over to evasive motorsports for an alignment. i dropped the car off and literally walked around the block to my friend toan's shop. http://www.renn-spec.com/
toan just recently got back from buttonwillow raceway and his car is still in track form.
going off road caused him to crack his rear diffuser
here are some pics i took from around the shop. since it was a bit slow, i helped with doing some spring cleaning.

ON TO THE NEXT..
Alright, here's how fast frank's civic is looking like right now.. we're debating whether we should get another paint job before the next events (which is the end of this month) or not.. we are still putting the car together and it's ready to get tested.
