Ok So i hava a few days off and was going to do some maintenence and clean
up the engine bay from all the salt!!! I also removed the rad fan so i could
drop in the turbomani and turbo, hooked up the downpipe and there are no
fitment issues. Started cutting up vacuum lines and figuring out
where to place EBCV. Think somewhere above the thermostat housing.The mid
pipe seems to have a big gap so gonna need to remake to mid
pipe some.

Rev matching when you down shifted could have been very useful in some of those turns and its less wear on your tranny.

It looks like it was a blast. I haven't done any circuit stuff but i used to race on some winding back roads late at night with my buddies. Maybe ill give the circuit a shot once i get a project car.

@ProjectMayhemR: road driving is alot different just because to road surface is so smooth of a circuit! no crack,bumps,.... but lots and lots of fun with just a good
suspension,good tire(had bad front tire/understeer),my stock brake held up verry well
with new DOT4 brake oil, but gonna upgrade them for next time.
@Speedfoos: hell yeah
@TemjinX2: thx just need to find a better way to mount the cam. this time i used a
friend his PDA car holder. worked wel but could not get the view any higher.
Btw I have to take it easy on the 3 sycro.
