You think you are planning well and suddenly things go south very fast



So, today should be the big day, it should finish today, I need to get it aligned as soon as I receive it. Hopefully everything go well, I know it will be a very different animal at track I need to get used to it now.

So received the car after a week working on the car, everything has been installed except the RJM CMC (as it was leaking, kudos to Ryan for offering replacement eventhough I bought it in 2016 ) one of the bushing kits were for the FUCA where I have SPL installed, and a metal part of the SPL diff bushings, I will post it later to see if my mechanic couldn't figure where to install it (as instruction wasn't very helpful)

Initial review:

Clutch kit: this was my main concern, as my usual plans go quickly south however, I think rjm clutch pedal is doing a great job in making it easier to drive, the pedal is a bit harder than stock, it grabs like crazy, as far as my 100 kms drive, it wasn't so hard after adjusting my driving, but the most crazy thing is the lightness of the flywheel, it revs quickly, tried to rev match a downshift and the rpm climbed over 5k, where it was perfectly fine before. I am driving it without srm for the time being.

LSD: didn't have push it hard to test until now, waiting for next autox on 24 to test it hard, but it isn't perfect at slow speeds.

Bushings and strut bars: maybe this is one of the main things I am very happy with, the body roll I was feeling before gone and the car response improved dramatically, and cannot wait to try it in track again, also, it wasn't too bothering driving around.

Brakes: retained my faith after changing the rotors

I think this is all things, will try to get alignment as soon as possible, thinking of -3 front -2 back and +6 caster and oem toe setting.
