You do know that people build motors in the morning and race them hard on the track in the afternoon, right? You are well past break in period. Change the oil and let her rip.

Japanese Car Day lawn event is usually in October.

No, I can't make that one. I'm scheduled for the Starting Line school at Devens this Saturday, Palmer May 3rd, and Limerock May 24th. I'll be at a few others as well.

New tires for this season. First event is SCCA Starting Line school at Devens on Saturday the 7th.

Small update. I’ve been driving the truck a little more now that the roads are drying out. Lately it’s been a battle with the ECU not doing what I want it to and a lot of head scratching with regards to idle control. It would run fine in open loop but as soon as closed loop kicked in things...

This is where the header meets the mid-pipes. I have a long primary exhaust and they don’t collect until the silencer behind the rear axle. I got the dual kit so i could monitor both rotors. From what I’ve heard, the rear usually runs a little lean so it’s good to monitor both. I’ll be able...

So I decided to go all in and ordered a set of Nitto NT01s. I also got a dual wide band installed. I’m curious what I’m running for AFRs now, and I’ll use that as a target when I upgrade to EFI. Speaking of which, I’ve been researching the factory harness in the car. My plan is to remove...

Yeah, I read the RE71R lasts about 2 laps, and are basically considered an autox cheater tire. Looking up those lead me to the Nitto NT01 which, despite having a 100tw rating has been known to last an entire season of track racing. However, I don’t know that it will have street manners or work...

Those could work, I just dug up a few reviews and it sounds like they are good for both autox and track (although not as good as Track-only tires like the r888r) Anything else from this list I should consider? I’ll be doing more track days than autox, but I’m trying to get Amanda into autox...

Hmm, they don’t come in 205/50R15. It’s either 195 (kind of narrow for a 7” rim) or 225 (probably too wide to fit)

Looks like Chris Yeomans is going to fly into Manchester and join me for the trip to Limerock. I’m getting ready for this season. First step, new (to me) seats. Corbeau A4. Required some cutting to get them low enough but now I just barely fit with my helmet on. Up next, tires. I wanted...

Looking good, still one of my favorite looking engine bays. Clean and simple. Wish I could see it in person.

Track Night events are open for registration now. I cannot make the first event at Thompson because I'll be traveling. I signed up for May 3rd @ Palmer instead. I also signed up for May 24th @ Limerock Park. My plan is to do this track day and stay for the PWC Memorial Day weekend. The...

Sweet!

April 24th, July 24th, August 14th, Sept 18th, any or all.

The LRP one might be a little more, but I'm guessing still under $200.

Me too, did I mention yet there is one at LRP the day before Memorial Day? I’m signing up for that as soon as it’s available, and hoping to hit a few at Thompson and Palmer the rest of the season. Parts rolling in for the RX7. Haven’t decided yet whether I’m going to put the EFI in right away...

Awesome!

Pulled off a 2006 Mazda Mazdaspeed6 back in 2007 when the car had 8,000 miles on it. Been sitting in my garage ever since. $100 plus shipping.

Great eye there Mark, I totally missed that! One thing is for sure, whether they win or lose, the Patriots always make for an exciting game down to the last second. No one wants to see a blowout in the first quarter. With that said, I think the turning point for me was Brandin Cooks getting...
