not really, my schedule isn't all that busy. I just don't like idle time, I always feel like I can/should be doing something. maybe for you its catching up on things, but sitting still isn't my forte.

 

i'll vouch for that. i remember all the times we would do the most random **** cause we didnt want to be stuck some where good times!

 

yeah i agree. my schedule is busy so anytime off is busy. one example for me is..i was working 7 days a week..i got sundays off and i spent about 6 or 7 sundays working on the hatch to get it running. if i had time off it would have been done in probably over a week or so..kind of what im trying to get at. when i had knee surgery i couldnt do anything for 2 weeks. at my 2 week check up i told the doctor i wanted to go back to work because i couldnt handle sitting there all day. one reason i dont go to bars and such is because it is boring..and i dont drink. but id rather go indoor/outdoor karting..putt putting..etc. hell when i rode bmx on days off id be on my bike for 8hrs a day.

but i can tell you this changed for me once you have a kid. i will sit with her for hours on end while she plays..it is a busy lazy but i wouldnt change it for the world. anyone that has a little one can vouch for that.

 

Christmas time is a blast too. I can't wait to put all my boy's toys together on Saturday!

 

one of the things we got her was a lightning mcqueen couch..toddler size..not full size. lol. i just want to see her sit in it like i do watch fia gt1. lol.


also im trying to help a buddy out..he is doing the grassroots level a favor and noone has followed through on their requests except for me. crazy to think but i guess im the only one who has bought a set..anyway he is sitting on a ton of product and wanting to move it to make other piecers for others models etc. some of you may have seen these already but here you go anyway. thanks.

Ill get a set after the holidays for sure. Thatll be nice because I took my fogs out and still have the holes obviously. :/

 

many of you have probably seen this but i love this picture..moreso if it was clear.

 

 

I'd be all over a set of those if I didn't have a list of parts I need to get first. Ball Joints, Brake Pads, Brake Rotors, Brake Master Cylindar.

 

what pads are you running next year?

 

Hawk HPS or HP+

 

Egezzy, did you like your Type 1s at the autocross? What was your setup?

 

wtf are you on now? id go hp+ atleast..i daily on them. when it is cold..they bite. other than that no problems except when you have passengers they are like uhhh are you going to stop.

next year ill be xr3s up front and hp+ rear..if it tends to push ill go to something else in the rear but ive always driven same compound so we will see.



ive never driven f/f coils.

i tracked/autoxd the sedan. tein ra 12/14k very soft setting front..stiffest setting rear. no front bar. stock rear. hp+ all around. 205/50 azenis 615 on si wheels. for what i "knew" at the time the car did well. high speed damping is junk with those things. transistions were good but alot of that i think is driver input.

hatch is on koni races. 550/650 50%/f 75%/r. no bars. hp+ all around. 225/45 on a 7.5/f and 205/50 on a 7/r. i love the way the car "handled". i loved pitching it into a corner and being like "lets ride". next year the car should be alot more fun so we shall see.

my advice to you is not think about what you need to go autox or what not. just go do it. i was soooo bummed i couldnt take my hatch to wmhm the first year. it was a blessing in disguise. to drive a stock motor turd was a blast. helmet goes on and driver engages. once i got out there and locked in to what i was doing i was rolling everything..em1..s2000..itrs. that experience taught me alot. and the hatch..yes it has a b16 but im still always the "slowest" car in the group. but that is what makes it fun. you dont make the car fast..you make you fast.

 

I've had two sets of HPS pads in the last six years. They do the job...but think I'm gonna move up to the HP+ next year.

 

Thanks for the info brad, I thought you had em. I guess Jeffberry had them in that case then. What do you mean 50% and 75%? Dampening? you can adjust the dampening on the race konis?

 

need too..if i do a brake job on the sedan im going to hps probably. i could send you my old pads. cheap way to try them out.



yeah im going by stiffness of the damper. i can just tell you from experience..i indoor karted for 2 or 3 years while thinking i didnt have the money to build a "track" car. indoor karting is like 30-45 dollars each visit for the most part. easiest and cheapest way to do it..is keep your car as is..unless you are doing a track event..then brake pads and fluid..and possibly tires. if you dont like it..boom..done. if you do..then start spending money.

 

I love that picture. And of course: Squad up!

 

Yeah, def. It might seem like Im getting all this stuff just to hit the x or the track but its not at all. Im just fixing stuff that I need to and getting whats right at the same time .I wasn't about to on bald tires lol, so now I have some nice tires. My front shocks were blown so I got me the Type 1s. Then my brakes were shot so now I have a nice brakes. Just need pads to hit the track and fluid. My bushings are all garbage so Ima replace those with PIC HRBs. Get a battery tie down and Im good.

Pretty much Im going to have a solid setup to go for a first time. Its still just an I/H/E D16Z6 and a 2270lbs Si lol. Not fast but pretty solid for sure.

 

So dope!

 

well said sir. like he says don't go spending a grip of money on something your not sure your even going to like in the first place. also i have had two pairs of the function/forms the first ones that ever came out and the newer type ones. ride wise i love them as far as how they handle in an event, don't know. need to get my full disc swap before i even think about it. i will go to an event here and there, but i wont spend money unless i know i am going to actually get into it. i have other hobbies too that take money. IE snowboarding during the winter is all i think about. car doesn't matter to me at that point. never knew i would love it till i tired it. so just make sure the car is safe and will pass tech and go do it once before you start worry about anything else.

 

Yeah. Man I drove through some ****ed up roads tonight, ***** roughhhh.

 

here hbk..these are for you.




^ive actually been on track with that sti..too bad it is in the paddock getting worked on more than it is on the track.

also that whole wing setup is off of the eg..planted onto the crx.

 

Yeah I noticed that. Good stuff. That WRX looks quick

 

bump and early. if i don't get on tomorrow hope everyone of you guys have a great and merry Christmas.
