Another shot of the car at a local car show, hosted by Car Street Journal, where we helped raise money for autism research.

Oh herro.
Quick update. Had a blast on at the most recent event on Firebird Main. I figured out a lot about the car and tires. I spent the entire first day testing new Porterfield brake pads and working a lot on rotating the car using just the pedals with minimal steering input. The second day, I got some rough times, and I was running nearly 3 seconds faster than the last time I was on that course.
Unfortunately after my first 2 sessions the input seal on my transmission gave out and fluid was leaking out of the bellhousing. Not wanting to give up without a fight, I jacked up the car and pulled my transmission at the track. It looked like I was going to be able to make my last session until.....NO ONE IN THE VALLEY STOCKS THAT DAMN SEAL!!! The car left the track on a tow truck, but I was'nt down at all. I learned a tremendous amount over the 1.5 days I got to run and I pushed myself further than I had ever before.

Absolutely nothing new to the car. Just more time on the track. Still using street tires to learn on and not hide any of my mistakes.

Guess I should update this thing.
Had some "fun" over the weekend. While everything was apart I ran the rerouted the rear to go harness straight back on the driver side instead of running across behind the front seats. All of this is just from the rear and under-dash harness'. 4.5lbs of useless crap so far and I still have a Round 2 to do on the under dash this weekend.

Stock harness on bottom. Newly wrapped Slim Fast harness on top.

Car runs again and even made it to work 2 days in a row!
Engine harness got a mini tuck and now comes out through the firewall (yes its protected from rubbing)
All of the loom was removed and instead heat wrapped the entire harness to keep everything from frying.
Relocated the coil and igniter inside the car on the back side of the firewall with just the coil wire coming out to the distributor.
After that was finished I rerouted the fan wires and ignition relay wire through the fenderwell so they are no longer in the engine bay.
Here is a shot of where the engine harness now runs along the stock ITB brackets:
Image
Also notice no more wiring running over the motor :)

I need to take some more as I have put in a different brake master cylinder stopper and a new heat shield since the old one wouldnt fit with the booster eliminated.

Question: whats your opinion on the T3 brake booster eliminator?

It is a good piece. Pretty hard thing to mess up. Comes with the rod and all hardware you will need and install is very straight forward.

I was running a modified 240z airbox before. You can see it in the previous pictures, it just didnt have the top on at the time. Now that I have gone with a completely different setup I will be investing in SQ 110mm stacks.

These cams in the other day as well:

And some video from my last track day. These are pretty short because we had a red flag incident and its not much fun watching me sit in the car for 8min on the side of the track.

Thank you very much :) I am always down for donation lol.
Car just got a low mileage ST installed. The BT that was in the car was very tired and unhealthy after years of abuse. What you couldnt see in the video was the smoke billowing from the exhaust. The BT will be rebuilt, nothing too crazy as too much HP will bump me up in class to where I would be far outgunned.
There are more and more FRS guys showing up. I believe last event we had 5-6 total. AE86....just me trying to hold down the fort.
