Aah, so remote is fine, but not ferrofluid? OEM being the exception.

[xnamerxx]

ferrofluid is legal as long as the car came with adjustable shocks as OEM.

As it sits there isn't really a lot of options for aftermarket MR shocks and I wouldn't go with any of them if the controller is not setup correctly for the vehicle.

I did not have blue prints , besides the picture I posted before I made using the "paint" program from my 8 years desktop. I can send you more pictures and views of mine.

Need to check with the gauge company D. The factory output may not be the same for the gauge that you bought. Hate for you to tap that signal wire just to find out that your reading 89 degrees when it's actually 195. Lol

Yea, that was what I was afraid of. I think I should just use the sensor the gauge came with instead. When I do my water pump, I will install this at the same time while the coolant is drained.

Just wanted to update my new tire info and give some feedback. I went with 195/50R15 Z2 star specs on the 15x7s and 195/55R15 DZ102s on the 15x6.5s. The 102s ride nicely and hold up well in the corners. The Z2s held up well at reasonable pressures and behaved themselves under heavy cornering. It's gonna take a while to re-learn how to drive it, but I have high hopes.

*edit*

I also have an update on the LSD: having a proper alignment makes a world of difference with inside wheel spin. Even with my near-bald snow tires, I was able to gain huge amounts of traction coming out of a corner on my daily commute. I've finally got my summer tires on, so I'll give them a good flogging today on the way to/from work to make sure that's still the case.

What region do you run in? I run in FWR(Fort Wayne, IN). Might be worth it to come take a look how your car runs. Just ran my Yaris yesterday in STF with brand new Hankook RS3s, quite a difference from 2 or 3 years ago when I last ran it.

I normally run in West Michigan Region, but they haven't had any events since 2013. Hence the traveling to South Bend. I plan on running the rest of their events at that site, but the other locations are just too far for now. I'm also getting into rallyX this year with Detroit Region and Furrin Group (furrin.org).

[ilikerice]

Cranky, you are running LSD in STF?

I have not tried the Z2 or Star specs. I tell you though, Rivals are in my favor. I am still waiting on my Rival S to come in. They are taking their sweet time.

[CrankyOldMan]

Oh, no, I haven't been in STF for a while. I'm just here for the tire advice. =)

I can probably make it to the Aug or Sept event but just to spectate.

Ahh, smart man

[ArmstrongRacing]

Oh wow, I didn't know YW had a STF thread. I used to post on MI as 2007TRD years ago, here too at some point. I've been competing in SCCA solo for 1.5 years now, in San Diego and now in NorCal. Just finished a back-to-back National Tour (2nd)and Pro Solo (5th)at Crows Landing. Let me know where I can drop a photo of my Sedan.

[ilikerice]

Drop it right here.. We don't complain about random photo's. unless I have to scroll left or right to see it, then I get frustrated.

WHAT! You and Alvin have been talked about here a couple of time... I root for you guys every time I look at the attendance for the west coast. I finished my National tour here at Dixie back in March. Was able to squeeze a 1st place.

Joseph Austin is a damn good driver too. Only if he can pull a clean run. It's either the fastest run or coned run for him, haha. He has come down to our region a couple of times.
