Those gussets make me want to punch you in the face.
Thats the type of lame "rotor anything" crap you see old men get boners over at sevenstock.
Could you not afford actual dimples? Or did you miss the point of gussets altogether?
whatever though, keep kicking *** on your way to proam!

sweome progress dude.. i can relate to the fast building.. ive had less than 3 weeks to get mine ready for my season over here in UK this year. Granted it was in a semi ready state already, but last year when i built it from scratch i did the whole thing from stock to drift sepc (meeting safety regs and competative performance in jsut under 2 months)
keep going, ignore the haters and enjoy the seat tiem.

i came 2nd against alot of nicely built cars and great drivers! i really dont know how i did it, but it was a blast! i miss shifted 2nd off the line following the lead guy, ended up catching back up by clutch kicking straight line (trying everything i could to make up) and i did decent the rest of the run... 2nd run leading, i entered faster, and spun trying to transition early and power into the wall trying to make up for run number 1, and flipped too hard, and ended up inducing spin to not hit the car behind, and the palm tree k rails....
if i wouldve just relaxed and ran decent the 2nd run it wouldve went into a one more time, but i was just too tripped out with that much stress.
next time will be better i hope. overall it was the best experience i've ever had.
my car definitely paid the price though. i broke my front bumper, demolished my sideskirt, and rear tail-light from grazing the wall 4 times, blew off my intercooler coupler 3 times (thankfully in practice, and at the end of the course) and having oil spew all over from my engine bay due to my oilfilter o-ring unseating itself on the pedestal... lol
im really sorry i was so rushed, and couldnt say hi for too long. i really appreciate you all showing up though! it meant alot to see some familiar faces amongst all the people there!
thanks again guys!
