Trackday prep.
Summer came and went. Had so much car stuff planned to do, but barely did anything at all.
Time to get motivated.
Getting the car ready for a track day at the famous Nurburgring.
It's a 3day long event packed will lots of different championships and what not.
We're gonna be driving the GP course..so thats cool.
A lot of 3rd gear action.................if I'm up to it....lol.
Well...finally an event worth getting ready for.
I'm all excited about driving again :)
Gonna try a R33 rear drum setup and hopefully have a good locking handbrake.
Finish fitting the oil cooler. And work on the alignment.
Going to change rear camber from -3,5 degrees to -2 degrees. Probably set rear toe to 0.
Add some toe out at the front. .30? old Hariguchi setup..hehe.
Then maybe shop for some extra wheels, and start stacking up used tires in good sizes.

PowerMove
Was browsing this dudes blog and for a moment got the urge to start fixing and tidying up my car.
(Hate the uras aero, mixed tire sizes and front rake.)
Got over it just as fast though..
I'm lazy.
Not much going on here..
Bought stock front and rear bumpers...which are laying around in the backyard waiting for paint:
And got a small bike for starters:
On order: AGV white helm/ blue visor.
Alpinestars red/white jacket and gloves.

Can't wait
...to get my license plates finally. Should be getting them this week.
So I took the car for inspection last week.
The mechanics gave me "the look" once I drove the car inside.
One of them even said.... " I don't think it will get up the lift..you should probably go home."
I'm up to a good start huh..
I tried to stay kind...and suggested to use the "dug out" instead of the lift.
There...it fits fine:
Inspection starts.
Brakes: good
Lights: good
Seatbelts, electrics: all good.
Exhaust CO: good, once the cat was warm.
One remark...my rear indicators are not allowed to shine to the sides, which normally is not the case, but since the previous owner modded the rear lights cluster with leds, he added some extra to the sides as well.
Next up checking underneath the car...all seams good so far.
Inspection continues..and everything is ok.
The then mechanic tells me to get the car outside for a sound test.
Err...sound test?? I didn't know I had to have exhaust noise tested as well.
Apparently since my car is a direct Jap import, they had to do that as well.
I had no idea what the allowed noise levels were and if I would pass them.
Nervously I rolled the car outside where the mechanic set up the instruments..
Just passed the sound test...phew. Cat + mid silencer + dual silenced tips = 89.5 Db.
And by the end the only thing wrong, were the rear indicator lights.
Luckily the inspector seamed to be less negative about the car and said to me, if I could fix the rear lights right now, the car would pass inspection!
I grabbed some tools, tried to figure out how the led's were wired.....took a gable, cut a cable.......and luckily enough....it worked.
Inspectors comes back....looks at the lights, smiles and walks back to get the paperwork done. :D
So that was last week......since then I have been getting the car ready for some street testing ;)
Got a second pair of spacers in. Had to roll the arches a bit more to fit some meaty 225/45/17 tires.
Gonna test those and some 205/55/16 tires to get a feel how the car reacts. Coming from AE86 and 185/60/14 tires..this is all new for me :P
Next post will have some action :)
