They said it’s not canceled no more there’s a new host ? oh well I’ll probably just ask for my refund and buy the anti lift maybe even pick up their rmm insert. What rmm are you running if any?
I have an OEM Type R rmm I've been meaning to install for a year or so ?

The wife already didn't like the ride on Prokit, so the nvh of anything stiffer is probably not going to fly

I did the same thing with my bc coils I had them sitting for a cool 9 months before I was like meh screw it im bored and went to war with my suspension (keep in mind I’m kinda dumb) ? took me like 8 hours lmfao


Man the ride for the pro kits were so good when I had them I miss those things! Install that rmm and tell her your car won’t run without it haha

Picked up kevsterz taillights I’ll be installing them tomorrow and I’ll post a picture on how they look ? & im picking up some side skirt extension Tuesday pics also coming soon ?
alright so I made a video of me installing the headlights and taillights awhile ago but had rendering issues so I never uploaded it a& forgot about it. Decided to try again and boom it worked. So if anybody is interested on seeing me break my taillight bolts here it is:


Thanks will update with the new stuff I picked up soon

Track day was a success !

Had a chance to tag along and roll with the famous ososick (nick), kevster, Louis (vcd racing) and a couple other type r fast bois from high society. Super dope people loved every second. Only ran 4 sessions but I feel like the highlight of the track was just making dumb ass jokes with the boys haha.
I actually gapped nick and Louis in a foot race to win a free track day so that was cool lol

Forsure next time better brakes and fluid I had to pick everything up last minute so I installed autozone pads with the prestone fluid. I have warranty on the pads so I said why not just run them fresh and swap them out the nextday for free. Temps were in the close 100’s
I couldn’t find any Indy 500s for me rears so I had to run my spare pirellis 245/40/18 In the rear instead of my usual 255/35/18.
Thicker sway bar may be needed I did get under steer 3 times I’m currently running white lines 22mm rsb.

Even with my messed up synchros I honestly think I did pretty good

Also during the first session there was a zl1 that went off course and ruptured his gas tank which was engulfed in flames here was the end result

Dope pics! A buddy of mine actually won best JDM and best engine this weekend. I wish I would've went.
What car did he have was the white civic from nvus? I left right before they gave out awards so I couldn’t see

If anyone is interested here’s my track day video:

Overall super dope unfortunately I went the cheap way and got some crappy brake pads that I thought were ganna do better but they got super hot and didn’t last very long.1 session 3 laps in i needed to press the brake pedal all the way to the floor in order for me to slow down:doh:
focused more on downshifting to minimize brake use on the other 3 sessions I ran & I did pretty well imo.

I only timed myself 3 times since I couldn’t even push the car how I wanted to my fastest out of those 3 was 1:39.

it’s definitely time to fix my synchros I feel them worse after track day…not surprised they were already bad buuut since I’m fixing my synchros in a week or two and since the sub frame is already ganna be dropped I picked up a front sway bar from whiteline from a good buddy of mine literally still in the bag for $120:yes:

Alright gang, I’ve had a loooong couple of days

1. Imma start off by saying synchros have been paid for just waiting for an install. Front sway bar is going on at the same time so I’m excited for that.

2. DA RV6 TURBSKI IS IN AAAAAAAHHHHH:beer:…..but it took me 3 days to freaking install it. It was my first time taking off the turbo so I definitely tried taking my time and learning the layout. Everything was going smooth until it was time to switch out the inlet stud from the oem turbo to the rv6. Took me 2 hours to do it rv6 provides to nuts so you can do the “2nut method” to remove the stud which was a bitch to do. Finally took it out by like 11pm and called it a night.
When I was working on it in the morning I had to loosen the lower coolant banjo bolt which loosened easily but when I tightened it “was only using the weight of my hand no extra pressure” boom righty tighty turned into righty loosy.

Luckily the bolt was still sticking out a tiny bit so I was able to loosen the broken stud with my fingers. Called rv6 for the bolt with next day shipping and got it the next day (today). Dude was really nice and didn’t charge me for the bolt since I paid 28 bucks for overnight shipping ?‍??‍?.

3. PRL Inlet was installed. Alright this was a huge pain to do also. Those fucking 3 bolts and nut that are on the left side of the inlet made me wanna part out and buy a fucking 05 Corolla man fuck those bolts. Anyways, the huge inlet made it really difficult to put anythingback together I struggled with the charge pipe a good amount but was finally able to get it on. I tore the hose that connects from the bov to the little nipple when installing it maaaan. PRL PLEASE PROVIDE BIGGER CLAMPS THAT HOLD THE NEW HOSES. So prl makes you reuse and oem little clamps for the air hoses that barely fit on the new hoses since they’re a little thicker (which is the way I ripped the hose I’m talking about). Another issue, I either lost one of the big clamps or I was just given 3 instead of 4 I’m pretty sure I was just given 3 but anyways a quick trip to oriellys fixed that. Besides that everything else went smoothly haha the hardest part was the part that connects to the turbo itself.
(Yes there more)
4. I bought some gold heat tape and went pretty crazy with it
5. Alright last issue lol
So I paid and received my new rv6 custom e tune from drob 4 days ago didn’t bother downloading it right away since it’s just a simply file right? Welp I was wrong. So drob has this new thing where he upload your revisions to a website and you download it from there. I click download and tell me why it says “Error there’s no file in this location”:banghead: maaaan I was pissed buuut It is what it is it might of been something with the website. contacted him a couple hours ago hopefully everything is situated by tomorrow.

So currently I’m running the ktuner base map being fbo with a rv6 turbo ?‍? im babying the shit out of it I haven’t even went past 3 pounds of boost but oh well.

If you read this far thank you it was kind of a rant/regular update post but here are the pics :bs:
