So I went to the Carboy gymkhana event last Saturday and placed 2nd! Nadine got 3rd! It was a pretty chill day and it was perfect for shakedown #2 for Red Thing. The wiring relocation is pretty much finished, except for making it look pretty:

I got a Safety 21 cage from Big Bad BH and it is now in my car… still needs a little modification to the the a-pillar base plates and door beams, but other than that, it looks great. Hopefully I can paint it soon!

At the event, I noticed that my tires would rub up against my front bumper and it would also rub a little bit on the fender… so a little hammering and cutting is still needed. The engine is getting really tired too, more now than ever – so I need to really get on the ball with these things!

Here’s some pics of other new things on my car that I haven’t posted yet:

New Taka Motorsports Oil Cooler and Filter Relocation Kit

New ARC blow off valve

New Tanabe Medalion Concept G Blue muffler

OK, so I missed the event after all. But at least I have a little bit more time to prepare for the next event… I’ll be going to Carboy’s Gymkhana event on March 10. And hopefully I’ll have my Safety21 roll cage in (that is, if it fits cars with a sunroof).

The wiring is now finished, I’ve made more modifications to the wheel well and now nothing rubs, and as far as I know from idling on my drive way, my car doesn’t overheat. Things are looking good!
