small update

so i definitely miss my tig welder, but thank god for my awesome sponsor Evil Engineering for helping me out on this cover. basically used a s14 sr cover and mated the s13 front half on. s14 covers have superior baffling abilities compared to the 13. and i think its pretty rad.



only thing is left to weld some -10 fittings, get some paint on it and give it to a local 240/tattoo artist for some airbrush work.

also the car went on a diet this week. so a bunch of stuff got cut out and ill post some pics. starting to slowly go over everything before round 1 and hopefully will be able to pick up some tires out from cali soon!

I like the hood vent care to share how you made it? Or is it really straightforward?

threw on my hood. eye balled it for a minute, drilled a big hole where i thought the center point of the intercooler would be. looked inside the hole i drilled. put a reference dot with a marker on the intercooler. lifted my hood. measured the distance from reference point to the endtanks. measured the distance from top to bottom and and pushed it up the hood 2 inchs so its not completely vertical. closed the hood. drew the lines off my measurements. hacked it up with a 4 inch cutoff wheel/dremel. stared at it for a bit. decided i wanted to add a second vent for the oil cooler. so cut down 2 inchs. then took some flat sheet aluminum and cut it out to size. and tack welded. sprayed it BBQ black then proceeded to "sticker bomb" it. and then BAM! i made a duct that doesnt look like all the other cookie cutter vents people rivet on their hoods.

another update

Had Kelly Banks come by and bring his scales to weigh the car and corner balance. the good is the car is lighter then i thought. the bad my right rear would have to sit like 2 inchs higher to level so i said fuck that. the car could have saved some weight if i didnt use the 1.75 x .120 tubing for the cage. Fluids Changed, a quick session to shake off some rust is all thats left before irwindale. Iam stoked to drive that track for the first time! Make sure to come out and say whats up to us at Irwindale Round 1. we'll have some rad shirts and stickers!

so little update on how round 1 went at Irwindale.
got there early friday morning. unloaded the car off the trailer and passed tech with flying colors. felt like i was the only one that had an sr around.got anxious to drive went out. first run spun on the bank and grazed the wall. 2nd run didnt commit 100% and smacked the wall with the rear coming off the bank. got all sad and dissappointed. forgot my balls at home, but thankfully my friends found them for me and second practice session was better. fought understeer like no other thanks to some sweet old nexens.. got some decent runs in by the end of friday nothing great..


YouTube - Vitaly Sopkin practicing at XDC Round One 2011, Irwindale.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=IAucLj8J1tk

DAY 2
drivers meeting they told us they wanted all the body panels attached and didnt care what it took to get it done. so a box of selftapping screws and zipties the car looked good as new...


practice went well swapped the front tires around and understeer issue went away. played around with a couple different lines on the bank to try to stay up high. Qualifying came around in no time. car was ready to rock. i was ready to roll. watched some guys run before me and gauged on what i should do on my runs. finally it was my turn, went out and did a conservative run, nothing crazy but fairly smooth i thought. 2nd run tried to push it a bit too much with speed and spun. Was pretty confident that i would be able to sneak in with my first run. drivers meeting rolled around aaaaannnnd.... tied for 16th and 17th place, so they averaged both qualifying runs and i lost since i spun. party foul. The Upside i was 4th fastest coming off the bank in qualifying.. So hung out and started watching the tandem practice session and then saw that the guy who i tied with broke. i quickly tried to get a hold of one of the xdc officials to see if i could sneak into his spot since he couldnt go anymore, but unfortunately was quickly denied. but anyways had lots of fun, learned alot and cant wait for round 2 in Phoenix!

qualifying run 1

These are George M's design. there will be a couple small revisions for the final product but i would say shortly right after Phoenix XDC. they will be offered in brackets only or everything you need to convert into a hydraulic handbrake.
