Wow that's awesome. Do you have ultimate plans to wheel to wheel race the car? or do time trials? Glad I can sit here and live vicariously through you. Also any plans for oil reliability? baffle? accusump? I guess some of that may not be critical till you switch to R-comp tires.

Current plan is to build the car for NASA PTB, maybe a comparable SCCA class, starting in 2015. I'm planning on attending the Comp License and Instructor schools with NASA at VIR 10/3-5. That's about as w2w as I'm going to get with this car since Honda Challenge HC2 doesn't have much turnout, if any, throughout the southeast. I'm doing the baffled pan whenever I move to slicks, so this summer sometime. I'll also add some oil temp and pressure gauges in place of the stock headunit.

Nice on the wing! I've always felt like the APR wings could benefit from larger end plates, but that's probably just the autocrosser in me.

InsaneSp

Max allowable size for NASA and SCCA is 12x12, which would be pretty massive. I'll probably do it at some point to see if I can feel a difference.

Almost done with this round of upgrades, except I broke the stud of the rear upper ball joint so I've got Daniel hooking me up with a new upper A-arm since nobody sells a loose OEM replacement joint. I also pulled the rest of the interior from the dash back and mounted the drivers seat, but want to make my own brackets. I'm on the buddy club rails and can easily get the seat 1-1.5" lower using some angle iron or similar. Harnesses are also on order, so that will be fun.

Finally got around to changing my cabin air filter too. Ho-lee-shit. Car is a 05 with only 63k miles too.

Which seat did you end up getting sparco sprint or momo start? or something else?

Clemsons2k

Wowzers, almost looks like its never been changed

InsaneSp

Sparco Sprint V. It's the most inexpensive FIA certified seat I could find with the shoulder harness holes high enough for me. I REALLY liked Will's Pole Positions but I'm too tall.

InsaneSp

It likely hadn't. The car had the original tires on it when I bought it. From 2005! Previous owner ran with a set of BBS wheels since nearly new...which really need to sell. LOL

damn dude thats one of the worst air filters ive ever seen. even mine wasn't that bad!

Clemsons2k

Could be worse. I changed the air filter on my gf's mini cooper and found the remnants of a field mouse nest. She lived out in the country and apparently they decided to make their home out of her filter material . I didn't know whether to laugh or gag
