I needed to follow up on this lol.
just got back from the tail of the dragon, I was driving the evo on NT555G2s. Was honestly surprised with that tire. Have been on that road many times in the evo on firehawks/conti ECS and honestly the nitto was pretty good.
brooke was on neogens (Came on the car) and I still hate that tire. Absolute crap on damp asphalt.
another miatas at the gap trip in the books and I think there were like 5-6 cars that got totaled this year lol
One thing I realized from my drive on this road is the turns are pretty aggressively banked. For some reason I always had the misconception it was pretty flat. Properly dialed suspension and great tires definitely matter. My car came with achilles atr sport 2, so that's what I rocked on TOTD. Definitely wouldn't pick up another set lol.
On a side note, what a beautiful shot! Is that a long exposure or fog??

The banking by the “dip” (gravity cavity) is pretty wild. If you sit in a lawn chair on the high side of the corner in the pull off, you can’t see the road surface.
took that with my phone lol, just pointed at it and clicked the button. The fog rolls in heavy there. That river pulls water off the bottom of Fontana dam (like 500’ deep) so it’s like 40-50° . Fogs up all the dang time

2 day event in the dells. Excited to see how the CR1s do
-
Took first in XSB on my final run and 14/90 on raw time. Having good suspension is night and day. The CR1s were awesome once they had some temp.
its a 2 day event so we will see how it goes tomorrow. New course layout to keep things exciting.

Found some more pics from the event

USAIR event was today.
took 8th/120 in raw time and 2nd in class
course was identical to the one in the spring - the start and finish were in the same spots lol.In the spring I drove the evo and went 61.2, this event I went 62.0 - super happy with how this car is setup now

More pics from USAIR.
dyno day this Saturday, interested to see what this car makes before plopping the s52 in it
-
plopping the s52 in it
-
Dyno day got cancelled lol
-
Almost ready to drop the m52.
Need to remove: Fuel lines, heater core hoses & front suspension (to make it easier to manage on a jack)
-
Dropping it out of the bottom Is the way to go
ABS pump is already gone, as well as all the front brake lines. Working on getting the bias adjuster mounted and remote cable ran.
quick bend of the rear line gets the angle right for the cable to run to an already existing grommet in the firewall next to the main fuse box harness
-
Interior stuff is all done, remote Knob used the area for the fog lights (which Are being removed for the OEM “delete” panels)
hoping I won’t have to touch interior stuff anymore for this chapter (wideband is already routed, just not connected to anything)made a quick “bracket” for the bias adjuster out of some scrap 3/4” alum square tubing.
removed the factory heat shield for the exhaust (firewall area, still running the one in the tunnel) as it was pretty disgusting and had seen better days.
Eventually I’ll add some DEI stuff if needed. Also removed the factory sound deadening thing from the firewall/tunnel. After removing the flanged plastic nuts the stuff basically fell apart as I removed it. It was also gross. Have seen rot behind these before on other cars, but luckily this car has never seen winter. Removed all the studs with an angle grinder as well.
should have a lot more room to access trans stuff now if I need to.next up is to finish making hardlines to go from master to bias valve and master to front brakes. Once that’s done I can start on the engine stuff
-
Master to bias line done for rear brakes
-
Drivers side front brake line good to go, passenger line will be the longest run from the T
might even be able to use the stock brake line metal clip things with a little finesse
-
Hardlines are finished
Next up is s52 stuff I think
