Final pre-season prep and first event of 2012

With only a few weeks left before the first event of the season, I had to finish up what was left to do. First up, a fresh set of NT01s were mounted on the track wheels.

NT-01 - 3/3/2012

Then it was off to SJF Performance so Steve could get my car aligned at its new ride height.

Aligned and ready for the season - 3/3/2012

The following week was the first event of the season and the first time trying out all the changes over the winter. To recap what was done:

• Haltech Pro Plugin ECU tuned by Evans Tuning
• Puddymod built AP2 diff housing with 4.3 FD and OS Giken LSD
• Moton triple adjustable shocks
• Recaro Pole position seats
• Koyo Radiator, FAL fans and Mugen thermostat
• Mugen hardtop
• Mugen hard rubber front compliance bushings
• Innovative 75A motor/tranny mounts
• Fresh set of 255/40/17 Dunlop Direzza Star Specs all around

The car felt great. It was a chilly, windy day which it always is in early March by the beach but at least the surface was dry and it's always great to get the cobwebs off early.
