I dont plan on doing the spins again but will be signing up for the Mile in October again. New exhaust and possibly intake will be on depending on funds. Intake would be plumbed with a 250 shot. This means I will need a new ecu, cage, and nitrous kit. A 15k endeavour. And I still need paint for all the new parts.

Safety Car
Is the body work on the car all stock? The reason I ask is that cars are shaped like airplane wings and at speeds you are running there is a very good possibility that the car is getting very light in the rear and that is why you spun. I am no expert in this area but i would look into why the car spun and see if it is related to the car lifting at those speeds. You may need to add some aerodynamic devices to your car to keep it planted to the ground.

Also the reason I spun was a retaining clip in the rear coming out causing me to have a lot more negative camber on the passenger side. This issue has already been fixed and upgraded.

Round 2.
Going with an MS3pro setup for nitrous control, flex fuel, and datalogging all in one.
I hate wiring.
Got my switches for my switch panel finally. Switch panel being built now.
And my new favorite piece: Hogan goodness. A good 10lbs lighter than my old HSR, fits much better, ports line up, and nitrous bungs for later. Hell yes.
My ARH 1 7/8 setup got v-banded so I can install them also and get a better exhaust. All that power through 1 3/4 and 2.5" exhaust may have been hurting a little power and the new borla XR-1s should sound pretty sick.

Few updates but no pics because skydiving priorities were happening.
Got the old wiring harness (24x) out. Mounted the new fuel regulator and plumbed the new fuel rails. Just need to make 3 more hoses for the regulator return to flex sensor, then back to the tank.
Started wiring up the ms3p and my switch panel.

Working on wiring.
Everything will be running under the manifold. Ordered the loom and finishing up the last of the sensors. Fuel system is complete. Just need to stab the hardness back in, leak test the fuel system, finish the exhaust and get a tune.

Damn brother, on the cell when you mentioned the thread I thought, OK another build - Let's put it this way, this year I'll be on this forum 15 years and I have to say:
This has got to be one of the best/fun/igneous builds I've seen in the C4 section...heck, on the forum in a long time!

Damn can you say **** you to photobucket killing my whole thread. All these pics are on my facebook account.
I will say that the car is back together and running and is useless in autox at this power level but oh so fun.
Currently swapping in a sequential shifter made by S1 to make shifting much easier and seamless. Then get a final tune on the bitch and hopefully hit the drag strip, for the first time ever, next springtime.

This thread is awesome. Just a heads up, there is an add on for chrome/firefox called photobucket embed fix. I don't know if it still works but it did let you view them a few weeks ago. Figured it's worth a try if you want to view them...
