Fronts nearly all buttoned up. Got on the rear. Actually a good thing all this is going on. When I pulled the rear hub on the left side, the wheel bearing was junk. Crazy it never made noise and had no issues passing tech. So I ordered a pair as I suspect the right side is junk too.

Grabbed a trailer to tow the turd around.

Front.

If you don't follow along on social media, the car is back on the ground and two test drives in the books!

Worked on a buddies X5, so I spruced it up with the Honda protection mat...lol.

Modified the KTuned hinges and Tein hood damper brackets slightly to work together.

Splitter has been ragged out. Cut two out. Professional Awesome splitter diffusers for one, flat backup for the other.

Group buy allowed for a steal of a price on a HANS. Went on and picked up a new helmet as well since my SA2010 will expire before too long.

Round two test drive.

Carbon process for making new spoiler end plates, vice the metal current. And splitter layout.

Corner balance and alignment on the 25th. First track day on the 30th!

Splitter process through completion and paint.

Last minute decision to go on and change from the F7 spherical to the PCI. Wow, the PCI ate just beautiful. But really, it was no surprise. Ha!

Splitter finished up, brackets installed, test fit. However I forgot to finish taking the rear down from the jack, so it looks ridiculously low. It's not actually that low.

Carbon spoiler end plates finished!

Loaded for corner balance and alignment. Unloaded at the track. Track day!

Everything went well. Suspension was just amazing. Only issue was my breather setup. Had to come off after 4 laps of my first session. Oil was all over the place, not returning and blowing all over the back of the bay and onto the exhaust. You can see smoke behind the car in one photo. Removed the system and just looped the line back to the block. Zero issues after that. Positive to that early exit from the first session, being signed off solo.

Looks great Landon! I've been following the build a bit on your instagram page

The videos I never posted...

With the new transmission I was limited to 111mph on the front straight. The rear view session has rev limiter noise as I was learning the limits having never pushed it to that point. Previously mentioned was the build details of the trans, but the quick is, Spoon close ratio gearing, 4.9FD and a 1.5 way Cusco diff.

In car...

Front bumper...

Rear view, with oil smoke, haha!

First "ride" for my daughter, going up and onto the trailer for #Gridlife at Summit Point little over a week ago.

Pulling up and Camp Farewell setup. Crazy wrong Friday night and Saturday. Gusts flattened my tent.

Splitter put in work. New hardware already needs replaced...lol.

Couple on track photos. Waiting for the official photos to be ready.

And the bolt holding the Dime's solid bushing backed out, knocking new out after the first day. All good, got home to spend time with the family.

Autocross event that I had to rallycross to get to [emoji23][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji1787]

Local autocross club asked me to be part of their showcase for a larger local event in July. Signed up for Chasing the Dragon Hill Climb. Picked up a couple sponsors for the Hill Climb and offered my car to a buddy in the UK to co-drive the event. Sponsors added are Tall Pines Racing, a small and highly skilled Honda transmission specialist in Hickory, NC. And Rival Motorsports UK, decals arrived with the arrival of my co-driver. Hill Climb pre inspection checks.

WOW! What a car! Tons of respect for you and your car. Also, really nice photos. Do you do the photography yourself?

Thanks! Most of the photos are from other people. Some have watermarks, some dont. I havent picked up my camera in years. I have just been a cell phone warrior...haha.

An event to Maybe look for is the pagoda hill climb in reading, pa. A lot of people come out for it and the turns are pretty wicked
