As am I. I mean sure the head probably needs some work again, but such is life. I probably should have just went ahead and done the guides and seals this last time, but meh. At least I know that I can track it for the rest of the year without smoke screening people. My plan is to just work on the other aspects of the car that I have been wanting to do, such as suspension. Then at the end of the season I might yank the head for a quick guide and seal change, but for right now it is fine.

i need suspension too

Fool don't get me started. At least your car isn't doing this:

or this:

Body roll ftw!!!

 

[Samurai_Blue]

your tires probably max out your suspension. mine do.

I need more seat time.

and a crash bar

 

[Nick_C78]

Ordered the hardware to install my harness. I also got the Kirkey foam for my roll bar in today. It is SFI 45.1 rated and all that fun stuff. It is actually more solid than I thought it would be though hah. I need to invest in a few more driver safety and comfort things as well.

More unrelated updates and pics to come tomorrow!

Nice. How are you mounting the harness? Bar? or straight to the body?

 

[Nick_C78]

Lap and anti sub belts will be to the chassis. The shoulder straps will be to the bar. Everything will be to common rules and requirements.

I think that first pic covers the sidewall wear marks. Its not berms or just berms. lol

What tire pressures have you been running?

 

[Nick_C78]

I have tried various pressures. It comes down to lack of camber. That day I was 32-33 cold, which was fairly high. I think my temps were 38-40 hot.

common US rules and requirements...i dont understand the mounting rules...like using an eye bolt for your shoulder straps.

dont those tires like to be 36 hot?

 

[Nick_C78]

Some dont make sense. So im mounting it the safest way.

Correct. They are best at 36, but my lack of camber caused extreme shoulder wear. To combat this I had to bump pressures up.

 

[Samurai_Blue]

they make zero sense i dont understand how Japan's tuner cages dont have anything to brace the cage like a diaginal or a cross beam.

Im like borderline on the inside shoulder. Maybe -.2 more degrees and im on the shoulder. it feels weird to drive when i dailed it back.
