I hear ya man, I can tell you're dying to get back in it. A good sign of a true enthusiast.

Just wait till you get back in the car, and try out your first round of modifications before jumping into more. You'll see once you get those BFG Rivals on. Expensive modifications, like a good suspension with solid bushings, or an LSD, will soon look like investments.

After more seat time, try to build a dream list of mods with solid plan of what you want out of your car- with a beginning and an end. Otherwise you might end up like me, having to replace mods with parts I should've bought from the start.

My personal preference is to do 1 modification at a time. I like to gradually install things and enjoy them, also helps me forget all the money I've got in this thing.

Random question Koberballer: How do you like that cup holder offset to the right of the shifter? I've been throwing around the idea of purchasing one.

The cup holder is nice. It doesn't bother me at all or get I the way of anything. Same goes for the passenger. I don't eat in my car but it's always a nice place to put a water bottle when it's really how outside.

My faster run even with a fuck up at 3:20, gear box wanted to play games I thought I had gotten into third but got into 1st somehow, I saved it, I felt the rear tires starting to lock up slowly as I was letting go of the clutch heal toe and I knew it was wrong lol. Didn't hit redline but close to it. This was the 2nd lap hot lapping after the first video I posted.

That plus maybe a little more tire might help.

Overall good driving though.

Hey @finn1969 thanks! And yes Conn and Ledward are now a ghost town. We just had our unit close out, the post is currently In progress of shutting down.
