Got my shocks refreshed with a minor revalve from Shaftworks USA, finally had time to install them and realign my car right before we went to Maine for the Brunswick ProSolo in my wife's RX-8. I finally got to autocross the car with not-dead tires and the new setup this past weekend at Pocono. The car is FAST and I love it, haha. Only minor issue (which was expected) was the new 17x10s rubbing the rear trailing arm due to the traction mod lowering the arm into the path of the wheel. I've already ordered some different arms to get more clearance. Besides scraping the wheels and sounding bad, the only annoyance was the wheel weights being forcefully relocated in the process. Rebalanced them Saturday night and we're good to go for the next event.

The only "actual" car faster raw time was an SSP GT3 by a couple of tenths. The next faster cars were karts. My car is clearly working well!


My fastest clean run from Pocono (and only clean run...):

Leveled the splitter and tweaked the angle so it's pointed slightly nose down:

Installed new trailing arms, cheapies from Megan Racing/Hard Race. The sphericals are sealed so hopefully they hold up well as my car is a DD. It had "finger" space between wheel and trailing arm with 17x9s, now it has much more clearance. Shouldn't be a problem with 17x10s now.

Well... I did some setup changes and the car is faster and easier to drive. Not 100% where I want it yet, but the car is absurd considering how relatively little it has done to it. Coned away top PAX by a few tenths at Philly, but my clean run was still 2nd... by 9 thousandths.

I derped with video a bit and missed my fast run, sadly. My 2nd fastest run from yesterday's Finger Lakes SCCA event. My fastest run was good for the PAX win and 3rd in raw time behind a couple of CM drivers.

Some pics from our big local autocross. Had video issues on Sunday, but Saturday I got video. I finished 4th on Saturday and 8th on Sunday, good for 8th overall.

Found a cheap Scorpion catback on eBay, they're normally $1k+ and this was $375 due to a vendor clearing out stock. I wanted polished tips but the seller sent one with black tips. Meh, I was planning on swapping the tips anyway. Saved almost no weight over the STI muffler but it sounds amazing and fitment was spot on.
