As is obvious, I haven't gotten into a motor build yet. Eventually it'll happen after the funds come along and I've taken care of everything else I consider necessary.

18psi I had that wheel design (mesh with some lip) in mind from the day I got it and with my lack of budget, the sportmaxx seemed ****.
Curly, yeah I'm that dude haha. The traklites are 15x7 +35. I'm looking for some used slicks or I'll get something along the lines of kumho xs or star specs. 205/50/15.
Not sure about power goals. Likely going the boost route. After a basic setup I'll probably get power hungry

I autocrossed a few times on the federals and they were surprisingly not all that bad to drive on. If they got too much heat they felt like pudding though. The last event I skated all over. Since then I've had my eyes peeled for a good deal on some used slicks and got very lucky today. Picked up a set of 13x8 +4 Rota RB's with 20x9x13 Hoosier R25's on them, as well as a second set of R25's and a pair of R35's, all with quite a bit of life left. The deal also came with some brand new 6 inch wide R45's but I think I may sell those to recoup some of my expenses. Also planning on selling the Traklites. Here was my poor subie today, stuffed with 4 wheels and 12 slicks haha.

and my glorious purchase stacked up in the garage.

I've also got a set of Tein HA's that need to be cleaned up, then they will go on as well. Everything should be ready to go for my next autocross in 2 weeks. So excited!
Since my last post I've also put red tint over the amber part of the tails to make them all red and clear. Looks much better IMO. Had a 2.25" catback made as well. No muffler, just a resonator right after the flange. Has pretty much 0 rasp and isn't hellishly loud either.

The wide hoosiers are mighty effective!

My first FTD and I wound up #1 in PAX as well!
I was 2nd in PAX and 2nd in raw times my first event on the Hoosiers also. I love these things! I wound up getting 3rd in PAX on the street tires (traklites and federals) and 8th in raw times last weekend also. I've learned a lot this season and can't wait to come back next season with an even better setup!
