Ben do yourself a favor and get some hard upper and lower IC pipes with silicone couplers instead of that 15 year old oem rubber crap.

@LOSisBEAST2 4 года назад

Yeaaa i saw that and was surprised. I thought he replaced it when did the build.

@K2theK-b6u 4 года назад

I was about to suggest the same. The OEM pipes are horrible. Hard pipes really make a big difference on the evo, as well as an upgrade to the OEM wastegate to a turbosmart which will help hold boost in the upper rpm, and a grimmspeed boost controller. While you are at it, send your turbo to Kirk at BoostLab for an upgrade and you will have a stock looking turbo that will put out 400+ !!! Let's see you chase the lap leader after that :D

Dude. Don't worry about the pressure and sponsors. Your easy going nature is what can help you when you face heartbreak in competition. As for your sponsors, your viewers will stay committed no matter what your performance on the track is. Your sponsors better know this too. I know they are the first brands i go to or exclusively shop with. We are excited to watch yours and Ben's growth.

I've been racing a while now and I get the feeling man, you get in the groove and you strive to do better every time you go out, and then when you don't go faster or you fail in another way you get pissed, take a step back and just enjoy the day driving your car fast, not everyone has a nice evo, let alone can take it to gridlife events and drive hard for a weekend, enjoy it bro

@ccons003 4 года назад

I totally get your disappointment about not being mentally ready. My first autocross event after years of not racing, I got lost on course. Not just once, but several times in a row. I was ready to throw in the towel and go home out of embarassment and frustration. I stuck with it (thankfully). The track or an autocross demand prep and mental acuity that forces the driver to be focused. In season two I’m now at least average but also know how to improve. Thanks for sharing an experience that wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s the reality of competitive driving and part of why it is such an awesome sport!

What about the huge consequences of a wreck or mechanical failure, injury, etc... In the end you can only reflect and move forward. Good luck in the future!

1. Clean couplings. I used carb cleaner because f it LOL 2. Use hair spray. Let it get tacky and clamp. 3. Use constant-torque WORM DRIVE clamps. T-clamps pinch, so don't clamp evenly. I've run 28-30psi on my Evo for over a year since doing this. I haven't popped a coupling since. Good luck

@LOONTRON76 4 года назад

Also, chin up fam. The important thing I focus on is "FIRST time attack event". Getting more knowledge on how to further control your car is always a step in the right direction. As long as the second event goes even slightly better than the first, and so on, I'd say you're doing ok. Don't let the poor times suck the fun out of everything.

This is exact reason I believe the SCCA time trials format is better than the gridlife time attack format. SCCA takes your best time from each day, adds them up, then whoever has the lowest overall time wins. This makes it so it actually worth it to drive everyday of the event no matter what the weather looks like.
