Its ready now. I'm building a little at a time in a way that causes minimal downtime. Not sure when ill be finished.
Tires and wheels one month. Turbo, cams and new tune another. etc.
In the meantime, get your fenders rolled as soon as you get your car back. We can codrive your built evo with 285 rcomps. If you want.

I feel like the NTAX events are the most newb friendly. Last year was my first season and I did 3 NTAX, 1 ER and 1 BMW. All were laid back but everyone seems to know everyone at NTAX and even the older guys were helping me out with tips and motivation. The next NTAX event is March 24th at TMS btw

What's new this year? Did you decide on a color scheme?

I'll be on RS3's with rear sway for the first half and that's about the only change. Still, I think it will be monumental based on how conservative my setup is. I'm looking for some cheap IC pipes, downpipe and test pipe, and of course an EvoD tune about half-way through the summer though (wedding budget trumps autox budget).
I'm looking forward to a fun and awesome season with all of y'all, that's for sure!

Next year I will be running rcomps for sure, maybe later this year if I burn through the R-S3s. Doubt it though. They hold up really well when used only for events.

NTAXS it is, then!!! March24-25 may be pushing it, though. We have a NASA race MSR Cresson the weekend before. Not sure if we will be able to do a good shakedown/preparation in 1 week.
