Woah car looks and sounds great, not sure how I missed this build! How much difference does that heat tape make on the intake temps?

Not terribly off from what I run in my Celica (little lighter so little softer), definitely has a propensity to neutralize understeer with the right sway bars and alignment but watch out for the rear wanting to come around if you're hard on brakes at the wrong part of a corner or lift off too much. Like I said, alignment is critical and you'll probably have to play with it some to see what suits you best.

It's a hard act to balance making it fast as possible and making it possible to recover once shit goes sideways.

After 9 months it’s here. Brand Spanking new Hytech long tube headers. I will say John at Hytech is a very skilled fabricator and a great person to work with. Communication was spot on always replied to my emails for updates and delivered an amazing product. I have to order some vibrant parts to fabricate the connection to the cat back which should be pretty easy depending on how much I wanna modify.

it’s going to start getting to crunch time as the first track night is May 5 then the weekend of June 9 is the first proving grounds at BIR. Still have a lot of parts coming in just need the weather to warm up a bit more . But race season it’s coming quick.

Hopefully that 90MM TB works out, that would be quite the pairing with those headers.

I actually got around to taking out the TB, going to see what I need, I know I’ll have to make a custom cable bracket but not sure if it’ll go on this year. I got enough on my plate to just get ready for the season. Hoping this will be the first season with a reliable car to beat on.

Hahaha yeah. It's not fast if it can't finish a few laps. A blazing fast first lap followed by a DNF.

Hey that's pretty exciting, good luck! I hope you do well and have some fun.

Good news I guess lol.

That's pretty cool actually. I hope you still get to use the Q45 throttle body, I'm sure that's a lot easier with the K than the 6G7x

I still have the TB if you want it back haven’t touched it was planning on using it with the 6g7 motor

Nah, I replaced it with a different one before it went off to you. 90mm should be big enough for a K, I suspect the issues with it are simply that someone took the plate out and have it flipped either inside out or upside down. It wasn't worth my frustration at that point to figure it out, I just needed it replaced to get the car driving. If you can get the plate to seal correctly it should go for around $150-200 on eBay pretty easily still.
