Thanks for the tool recommendation! These are pricey but they look like they can solve a ton of issues and alleviate a lot of stress.

@ yeah they def worth buying. Shit even if you can get just the 10mm one to solve the sprocket issues. Then switch the OEM ones out for the F.U. Bolts 😅

@ Definitely getting the FU bolts. However, there's not a hex head option for the clutch fork pin cover, so the 10mm hex would still be of use.

@@The_DrivingAddict FU bolts for the win! But yeah those sockets come in handy so often. I use them a lot on all sorts of things.

@@codyirl thanks! Been on my mind for a while, but I think with the car being down is the perfect time for the series.

Thanks! Lots of work still to come. As skill increases so does maintenance and finding weak points.

All engines are time bombs. I don't think you are speaking from experience with Subarus either. The only times I have had engine issues is when I was an idiot. Even with this current engine, I've been an idiot and it's held up. Not to mention how many V8 cars I've upset. Also, just like with any engine, with LS engines, when pushing beyond what the factory intended, you'll have to upgrade. Texas Speed and Performance and other shops exist for a reason - LS engines aren't invincible. Lastly, let's put your Camry on a rally or road course and see how it stands up to a STI. Easy to be "fast" in a straight line.

Not quite picking up what you're trying to put down.

Personal Excellence!

Absolutely. The wheel adapter part number is 01502133CA. Can be found anywhere really, but Subimods has it for sure (I'd share the link but the URL is crazy). As for the steering wheel, it's a Sparco L999, I got mine off Amazon, but again, google provides tons of options.

They do have a certain appeal...because they are so unique on the road. Though the rusting without salt could be better.

It was almost like the real life joke of, "is your fridge running?...Better go get it."

Glad you enjoyed the experience as much as I enjoyed having you as passengers. As long as I don't have another lined up for a ride, you are welcome to come. Hopefully the car will be on another level next time.

Ditto! It was a great weekend of meeting lots of people. VIR is the track I go to most. You will certainly see me again; have to pay, responsibly, to play. Once efforts gain some momentum, I won't be so shy about spending some money.

I have no shame in getting passed by this. More an honor to share the track with the car. In terms of corners, only because of those two cars "goofing" did I keep up. That Lambo was gone, and I'm betting had ceramic brakes due to where if started slowing down for T1...on the inside!

Much appreciated. To even be on the same track at the same time with that car was awesome. Bet the passenger was terrified.

Thanks! It's definitely an enhancement. Even I always thought videos looked slow. The speedo adds the perspective.

Thanks dude! Just got done with the first session. Instructor immediately came up to do a check ride so I could advance, but I had a meeting to get to.

Thanks for the insight! I've had the V7 6-spd since 2016, but the car had not seen hard driving until 2021. The noise only started near the end of my last track session. I'm happy to have replaced the rear diff, but it did not solve the whining when off throttle/during decel. At this point, it's just drive it until something breaks. Also, I realized I need to be more on top of fluid maintenance.

Ah ok. That is odd. Hard to say what it could be with any certainty. Hopefully you get it figured out.

@@salspec3381 exactly. It's concerning, but the car operates perfect, aside from the LSD doing it's thing on from a stop turns. Could be worn out bushings as a friend pointed out. Either way, going racecar with it, and deal with the pain if any comes.

Thank you! Much appreciated!

😂 Hadn't noticed that until just now when I rewatched. Not sure what is moving around.

Passively awaiting someone to offer me one. Haha. Saving my money for lots of racing related stuff and other investments.

I'm trying, my friend. I'm not sure where this opportunity will lead, but it's certain that I'd go nowhere if I didn't accept the opportunity.

@@The_DrivingAddict only one way to find out! Godspeed sir!

Thanks dude. Things falling into place. It's been a wild several months. Lots of stress and discomfort. But lots of help and encouragement to push through.

Thanks dude! No kidding. My whole personality nearly crashed into the concrete. Now I just tense up whenever I hear a creak.

Thank you much! No more parkour to get around. Not even a zip tie on the ground to trap a jack.

Thanks dude! I was taken back and simultaneously very thrilled when the offer was presented.

N1 race is non-resonated. You can call it a muffler if you want, but it doesn't really muffle anything. The inner diameter is the same 3" as the rest of the exhaust.

Thank you! Will do; working the creative muscle quite hard.

It's an incredible amount of fun. But it's a lot to take in the first few sessions.

Very welcome! And thank you for watching! Sharing the passion.

Thank you. This prep stuff is more stressful than anticipated.

Thank you! Worth everything it took to get it here.
