Tufast's Build Thread - Chapt 1

[Tufast]

For those who are not familiar with my mod list.
Note: the items listed in blue, I have already purchased.
Since I will be leaving the power level of my car stock until I have completed NASA HPDE1, I will focus on other areas of improvement initially.

Looking good, brother. Can't wait to see those Volks on there!

Nice list Tufast, let me know when you're ready for some power modifications if you're looking for some direction.

[Shadouwynd]

Blah you got the tires before I did. I'm jealous. Let me know how they work though

Oh, I definately will be coming to you for advise since you will have already traveled that road.

Well to be honest, these tires are a little to agressive for my level of driving right now & would not give me enough feed back on the track prior to the point that they break loose. So, I will purchase another set of less aggressive track tires to mount on the the Seibon wheels. Besides, the lack of power this car presently has would make it harder to drive with these tires anyway.


Oh yeah, I've decided to keep the stock 19"s for DD use now that this car is serving both as DD & Track car. Don't want to damage the Volks in fucking pot hole.

that was quick...lol

Glad to see you in your car. Can't wait to see that car take on it's new persona, brother...hehe

Really? Does that mean you'll sell them?

And Yes I agree. Keeping the original rims for DD. I was thinking of riding the volks for a little bit until the DD's get powder coated.

I installed the AGP accumulator & breather thus completing my 1st mod yesterday. It was a breeze to install, so I decided that a DIY on this particular mod would be a waste since the instructions that came with it were more than enough. Because the weather is so cold & windy right now, this is the only mod I bothered with this week end.
