Made an unplanned trip to HPA real quick to drop off my OEM radiator, and Marcel was kind enough to bring me back to get an in-person update on progress ahead of any socials. Oh boy, SHE. IS. CLOSE! The wiring was just being wrapped and tidied in the car, and the engine is ready to get put in...

TIL D-docks is a thing. And they're sold out atm :( I hate having my phone loose in that compartment.

100% yup that's mine. I have access to a lot more WIP photos too that I can share at some point too :)

I did a lot of hunting through reviews of different products. One of the most comprehensive sources I found was https://boostedmedia.net/ (YT: https://www.youtube.com/@boostedmedia/videos). Fanatec are the incumbent best for direct drive but Moza and others are quickly becoming better and are...

Fresh to sim racing so just mucking around in AC and all the mods and tracks available to it. Downloaded all the west coast tracks, including the BC local tracks.

So true it hurts. At least I can drive a solid analog of the R in sim...

Sadly no. I won't be able to install it until I get the car back after the swap.

Asking $500 CAD. Prefer local pickup but can ship this anywhere in Canada at buyer's expense. Taken off of my MK7.5 R, these camber plates are still in excellent working condition with no play in bearings, and operate smoothly. Fits MK7/7.5 with OEM style structs and perches. Original...

Asking $500 CAD for this. Would prefer local pickup but I have the original box and can ship at buyer's expense to anywhere in Canada. Taken off my MK7.5 R as I no longer have a 2.0 EA888 engine :) This is V2 of the PCV plate which fixed a flaw which could cause pieces to fall into the...

Last of my off-season driver mod hardware showed up!

Got some off-season driver mod bits for the house It's a bit of a compromise to make it easily storable but looking forward to thrashing it in AC and iRacing.

All this time without the car really has me missing the good times it brings. Last update was that the window to get the steel and clutch packs sorted before HPA moved couldn't be hit and they're forced to pack up and move the shop through the month. Looks like Dec 1 to resume work on the swap...

Driver gear for a belated oktoberfest

Picked up some fresh race wear for next season while in Seattle

Oof yeah, that's pushing it. Congrats though!

RE71RS run pretty wide, yeah, 9.8" for 245 width tire. I think the only track tires which run wider are Hankook RS4 (9.9" section width) and RT660 (10" section width) for 200tw. Wish we had more room in the wheel wells on these cars.

Subaru noises are hide cylinder :( Happened to me a few times with bad gas at the track. ECU disabled cylinders due to misfires/knock. Could barely limp to the pits.

Finally got the ECS master cylinder brace. 2nd time ordering it after I got strung along for 6 months of "it'll ship next week", and was on sale decently. Is it snake oil? Probably not 100%, but if it firms up the pedal a bit I'll shill a bit for it. Wish Tyrolsport made one for MK7: I hate...

Couple up close non-insta shots of the interior now that it's all assembled

I imagine if there were a sway bar or subframe it would have been very obvious. Because the end link mount is facing the wrong way... At least the car was never driven like that. Not impressed at all
