Enchilada Install: Episodes 3, 4, and 5…

Yeah, I fell behind on my updates, but I have a good excuse: things didn’t go quite to plan, there was an autocross, and I nearly pulled an all-nighter. (more…)

Enchilada Install: Episode 2

Didn’t make a ton of progress today, but I did inch forward. I procured some new bolts for the downpipe-turbo connection and took the old exhaust to storage along with the stock anti-roll bar in order to free up some space in the garage. With those errands completed, I turned to checking the threads in the turbo outlet casting, which appear (more…)

Lapping Rocks!

Yesterday evening marked my first ever track outing and believe me when I say “I’m hooked!!”  The two-hour session took place on Shannonville’s Fabi layout, which had a decent straight and some nice tricky turns. As a first-timer, (more…)
