Yeah man it was awesome. My friend and GF timed every lap I did in one session and they were all within 1 sec of eachother (1:20.8-1:21.8). If I pushed the car harder on the brakes and in turn one I think I could easily get to the 1:18 area.l con

The car will see some more mods for 2010. That was my last one until January.

It's a blast man but an expensive hobby. Still great to do once in a while.

Competition Clutch sponsored me otherwise I would have a stage 2 or so lol. The stage 4 is rated for over 500lbs of torque, something I know the Rotary will never make haha. The clutch did weigh less than my OEM though, so I guess that's nice.

Video coming up that shows me getting the car a little sideways from being too aggressive on the throttle. Should be up tomorrow afternoon once YouTube is done processing it.

As for the exhaust, it's the OEM manifold going into the Racing Beat test pipe, and then into the GReddy EVO TT (Turbo Tuned) exhaust. I put the catted pipe back on for the streets. The test pipe is only used on the track. Loud but man that nice rotary sound drowns out everyone around me haha.
