Andrew,
did you modify your front fenders at all to run the 225/45s up front?? Do you rub the wheel liner at all?

Great stuff! Can't wait to see what your car can do now at TH.

Are you still on Winmax W5 pads? How are these lasting comparing to PMU clubracers? I'm still searching for a pad that can last longer then three days at the track.

Thanks

Yeah my front fenders are slightly rolled with fender liner trimmed. Because the way the fender liner is positioned I would rub under heavy load.

I still use both. The W5 are harder to get up to temp in cold ambient temperature so I have been back on the Club Racers recently. Both are excellent on track. I think the W5 might last a big longer than the Club Racers but they produce more dust.

I trimmed the radiator air guide to fit with the Mugen intake and got it reinstalled. Was pretty straightforward with the Dremel. I just used the basic lines that already exist on the argued as a template for how to cut it. I cut it in a way that allows me to keep the small AC access panel. I am undecided on whether or not I will use the ASM radiator plate. I really like how it looks but getting it fitted will be quite a pain. There will be minimal improvement in cooling with the ASM plate I would guess, with an increase in annoyance when taking stuff apart. We’ll see ASM radiator plate, we’ll see.



I also removed the small bracket at the left of the engine bay that is used to mount the OEM airbox.



The gold heat tape on the bottom of the intake does some amazing things with light in the engine pay from the right angles.

I love my parking spot. So much space to dick around.



I decided to park my car underground at work today since it was rainy and windy and ended up next to a nice older 911 and a few S2000s nearby.
