The freaking thing started and ran, but I used all the mini 15 amp fuses I had so I got no lights. Test drive to Napa for some mini blade fuses and some 3/8 PCV hose in the morning.

Stuck back with wasted spark batch ignition. I don't exactly understand what happened with sequential but I'm glad it works again. I broke the cardinal rule and changed too many things at once.

Changed my leaky clutch master, I guess it didn't like my clutch. Made some new plug wires. And... I found this wonderful representation of my car emitting rainbows

Happy New Year, and thanks again everyone!

My car is fun, I can consistently spin my crappy all seasons in 3rd at about 250kpa around 4800, which is a little unnerving. I need some better tires and fueling bits.

Wait you need better tires? Who would have guessed. I have only been saying that for like the past forever.

Crappy tires killed:
* hustler's daily
* Turbofan's silver MSM
* Turbofan's silver MSM, again
* Zeus, '05 silver (excuse me, TITANIUM, sorry) MSM (not an mt.net member)

Maybe a Christmas present to yourself ...

Very happy with these as summer street tires. Surprisingly immune to cool damp road conditions. Probably would be a very capable year round tire in the bay area.

Did you guys suggest tires already funny, I don't recall (flinches for barrage of quotes from my thread!) Besides, part of the fun is actually running that fast on crap tires, don't deny it.

I am thinking maybe the NT01, but I hate solid sidewalls, or if they made the NT05r in my size. I might just get a pair of Mickey Thompson ET streets for the track. I don't want to be unable to run Gear Jammers so I need DOT stamps. There's a weekend event next Saturday, not sure if I want to deal with it, but I am dying to make a few passes.

Better tires for DD. The. You can use (2) tables to run lower boost in 1st and 2nd as well (MS3?) I don't think that is available in MS2. Even 195 wide Dirrezzas are mega-safer than all-seasons.

For drag, consider what I’m planning:
1.6 rear brakes (same calipers so you don’t have to change brake cables or lines to switch-over)
13x5.5 Konig Estrella Wheels
205/60-13 M&H Street and Strip DOT wrinkle walls

Just hit up BayTires Used Tires and have them throw on some slightly less bald tires.
