FUCK.

Might just have to do the Koni/groundcontrol set up.
Any reason you can't just go back to iron uprights? I mean, it's only 4 lbs per side. You can probably sell them with your KTS, since they're Z32 mounted also.

Get the RPF1's. 255's fit great on 9's. Plus you'll avoid the giant pain in the ass that is fitting 10's up front. Neither KW's or Koni's have great wheel clearance. Had both.

Thats true, but I didnt want to have to buy new bushings to install into the iron uprights. Going from rubber to well greased poly bushings made a huge difference in how the car handled. I'll have to think it over more. I guess I could just get Defs spherical bearing kit to go along with the iron uprights later. New coil-overs and upright bushings are all I need to complete the suspension.

The wheel thing depends on how this guy is, I dont exactly know how the trade is going to work out since he lives up north somewhere. But I'd love to do it.

So, I'm stumped as far as my das light issues go.
I'm getting power to the gauge custer connector. I checked for continuaty through the printed circuit board and there are no breaks. None of the bulbs are blown either. I don't have a clue to where to go from here. All the lights randomly went out at once.

go beat the shit out of it all night, and drive it tomorrow at the autocross.
its a spec, no sense doing proper break in when its going to break no matter what haha

also, not sure if im going to make it, crisis level red at work, and im not sure i can deal with a FAST event right now.

Can I have your spot? Well technically a friend of mine I am co-driving my brothers car.

I kept thinking I should do a 500 miles road trip all day today just so I can go to the autocross but in reality that would make no sense. So far I'm at 29 miles and tired already haha.

Kinda shitty I got it running one day before the autocross, if I had got it done last friday I would have def been able to break it in properly.

EDIT: And I have the old clutch in my possession now and the pressure plate is bent and all the "fingers?" or whatever their called on the pressure plate are going in their separate directions.

Putting the SR clutch in the KA took a little bit of work but man does it feel wonderful.

If you traded it would defeat the purpose of the lightweight wheels though since you would have to go back to iron knuckles and the SBC models are heavier as it is.

Those aren't the SBC like i thought, I think those are actually Chrome plated.

Not sure its worth it, but I'll see what the guy says. Maybe they are custom polished.
