Getfast: Wow, we must have met?! I was working at Patriot sunday as well!
Prior to the event at VA beach, I'll be getting new front tires, rear camber link, and dtss eliminators. I'll also be saving every damn penny I have due to monthly bills, a trip to Utah this month, those car parts, and more.. while working a money-making highschool job
I need to find exactly where my small oil and coolant leaks are coming from, or I won't pass inspection. DIY omp lines aren't too expensive, so I'll jump on that for futures sake anyways. If even a drop comes off the chassis during tech inspection, will I automatically fail?

My old BMW had a small weeping leak from the oil pan gasket for... at least 10 events, hahaha. A lot of it depends on the type of leak (pressurized/ready to blow vs. not likely to get any worse from a bit of hard driving.) I once bailed out of an event less than 24 hours beforehand due to a power steering pressure hose that was leaking very slightly, for fear that it would explode and make a mess for everyone else. Knowing where/why/how it's leaking is 90% of the battle.
Hope it helps,
Jon

On a lighter note, I found my oil leak. It was at one of the OMP lines - tightened it and now its good!
I have a rear wheel bearing waiting to be put in. I'm going to order dtss elim tonight and then try to do it all together sometime soon.

I have injector envy!
well guys I might be picking up a Greddy turbo kit for the FC, but I took it out on stock suspension last night and boy did it suck! drifting was more like a rocking chair, and the car lifting so much on acceleration it was rediculous.

Dude, I know you've got it - you just don't want to spend it.
