Hawyee's Daily/AutoX/Track Build

[hawyee]

Figured I'd start a thread here to track the progress of my 2018 build. Got the car in July of '23 with 79k and started with a setup for SCCA HS, currently in STH because I got tired of the car overheating and wearing out my tires outer shoulder all the time. The bean is my daily and I drive it to and from events all over the country, and will be bringing it with me to Germany soon. At 110k miles and going strong, current mod list:

The car weighs just under 2800 with me in it, so far won the '24 Phoenix national tour in HS prep but not much competition, placed 3rd at the South Texas tour behind a 2014 WRX and 2023 GTI but definitely wasn't my best driving. I don't think the car is super competitive in STH especially on big national style courses, but it's a ton of fun and has been super reliable. Next up mod wise is picking out a seat and possibly going to stiffer spring rates. I also want to try the 245 Nankang CRS V2 whenever those finally come back in stock at Phil's.
