No, no ripples. For $700 it better be perfect. And they are. 3 windows only weigh 15lbs. ; )

On a somber note......I MISS driving my ep.

Saw it before, was amazed at another great read. I love your car

This is like a dream just to see. Hopefully many ep's can stick around looking like this.

Thank you. Much appreciated. Building a "true" race car is a ton of work. I'm working on my wiring harness right now. Removing unused plugs and wires to save weight. I'll have some updates soon. I believe I've found employment after 2.5 years of nothing. Stay tuned!

Woo Hoo! I'm very happy for you.

Any changes for this year yet?

After all this time victory must be sweet.

Looks like I am going to HAVE to make some boost changes. I have been running an odd size serpentine belt that for some reason is no longer available. This is a huge pisser. I am at an unusual belt length right now of 1240mm or 48.8 inches. Nobody makes that length anymore. Gatorback has a huge gap there from 50.5 inches to 42.5 inches. I don't get it.
So I am going to have to go back to a 4.4" JRSC pulley, or go to the k24 crank pulley and hope it takes me into a belt someone actually makes. Problem is re-tuning for that. Gay. I am happy with where I am at.

someone is still alive! Great Videos.

Alive yes, frustrated at my lack of advancement with this whole thing.

Just ordered my JRZ's today. 3 way fronts, 2 way rears. Eibach, 800lb front and 1100lb rear springs. With Tien top hats that go to 4° of camber. The next 5 weeks are gonna go so slow. I am BEYOND excited. This is the last major purchase on this car. W00T!!

Great to hear, Christian. Waiting is murder.

For those that haven't seen HondaFreak's interview, check it out on EPHatch's Facebook.

BAM!
Install time. Gotta get some tools to cut a hole in the body so I can get the canisters inside the cabin.

SICK!!!

Your motor makes me curious and wonder. I read its a stock motor with a jrsc. Now do you think you could break 300whp with the motor untouched and jrsc? What tranny are you running with the jrsc on there? Is the jrsc aftercooled or have meth injection? What motor mounts are you running and how stiff?

^ I can appreciate these a lot more as I am reading Vehicle Dynamics and Damping, which is written by the creator of JRZ. Great book. I hope you have a GoPro!
