Nice! I noticed your G meter for accel/decal seems backwards.

did TNIA last night on the street tires, first session got 1 clean lap and was held up by a slow driver in a mustang that refused to point anyone by, he was running 14 sec slower laps than me in a 500hp car. the 1 clean lap i had was my 2nd one out and was about the same as i ran last time i was there on the good tires. 2nd session, got stuck behind him again and when he finally let me by, i blew the symposer delete out at 110mph and that ended my night. after the event i was able to go out and found it in the grass so it was just an annoyance.

upside, coolant never got above 210degrees and oil stayed under 235. pre radiator it did 245water and 260+ oil.

One of the reasons I used the expander plug directly into the charge pipe symposer nipple method, and then put one of those Sure Motorsports silicone 'caps' over THAT with a strong clamp. ;)

i was running a expansion plug before but quickly bought a symposer plug, i was always thinking in the back of my mind that the expansion plug would fail under boost and the plug would just fly up making a hole in the bonnet lol

That's why I put some thread locker on the threads, and then put said cap over the whole assembly with a Turbosmart constant tension clamp. ;)

Dp is in, it is pretty, thanks to ron@whoosh for getting it to me





tires mounted and balanced for the event on my 15x8s and new tires on my now street wheels, going to need a 5mm spacer to push them back out a bit






going to try and get on the dyno wed or thursday still, but the car feels pretty strong up top compared to before and def sounds better with more of a gurgle.

225/45-15 Rival S 1.5s?
205 50, the TD's i got from a member on here, they are the flush fit ones, 225 would rub the wheel wells


working on picking up a miata end of the month to run in STS or SSM, that will have some meat on the tires

I also have to admit that they do appear wider than most 205s in that pic (even if they are not in actuality).
The fact that they are on an 8" wide wheel DOES add to the tread width somewhat over lesser wheel widths. [:)] ;)
