Well I wanted to get better pictures of the car with the new setup (wheels/tires/coilovers) but the weather here in Texas had not exactly been cooperating. Fortunately this Saturday was perfect, so I decided to take the opportunity to shoot some pictures of the car at a nearby town and lake.

Had some maintenance activities scheduled this weekend (replace AC condenser, master/slave clutch cylinder, flush/bleed brakes, replace diff bushing) that I needed done before I do a track day. Going to be doing the Track Night in America event at Motorsports Ranch in June, and hopefully doing many more dedicated HPDE/track days in the future.

Love the transformation so far, supercharger setup came together really well. Great job on piecing that together. Can't wait to see this thing on a track once she's ready .

Thanks for the feedback! The car is a ton of fun on the street with the current setup, can't wait to get it on the track and really explore its (and my) limits.

Just a few minor updates, signed up for my first track day (doing the Track Night in America @ MSR Cresson on June 14th). So in preparation for that needed to get a few things taken care of. Had John Wallace/00MUGENS2 do some work on the car, changed out my A/C compressor which had given up the ghost last fall, install a new condenser, and dryer. While he had it he also replaced my master clutch cylinder which had been leaking, and installed the AP1 slave (no more CDV!!!). Also got one of the diff mounts replaced, it had a crack and was leaking fluid.

When I got the car back I also changed out the diff fluid with Mobil 1 75w90, changed the tranny fluid with Honda MTF, flushed and bled the brakes with Motul RBF600, and did the Modifry soft top strap fix.

Also not recently installed, but I forgot to post it previously is the Modifry GoPro mount which I will put to good use on the track day.

Also got my first Digital SLR, a Canon EOS Rebel T5i, camera as an early father's day present, with a bunch of extra lenses, filters, and other stuff (my wife is the best)! Still learning how to use the camera, but will hopefully have much better quality pics in the future.

Very nice camera package that you got, I'm in the same boat with learning how to use mine (T3I), but I don't have half of the stuff that you received. Can't wait to see some new pictures!

Thanks, I've always liked photography but have a hard time spending that much money on something that's not for the car. Lol. I've started doing some reading to get the basics, also I know there are some good videos and websites for beginners to get up to speed. If you come across any you found useful, please share!
