Tinno's introduction/build thread [MY03 STI]

[tinno]

Time for a few updates!

Went down to Barbs for the first time with the no limits crew last week. I must admit, I may have left a few stains on my seat. The first few runs of the long track was pretty intense for me. It was a completely new experience. RAC tuning arvo's, skid pans, midvale speed dome, this was a whole new thing.

My first run of the long track yielded a measly 85sec run. However, after a few words of wisdom from Franz Esterbauer coupled with more and more runs, my confidence went up and I ended up running a 74.5s on the long track and 61.3s on the short track. I was pretty stoked with these times considering it was my first time out and I was running on some pretty average street tyres. Highly looking forward to the October run!

Quick iPhone spec vid on the short track (watch in 720p for best reso).


Also had these arrive today.









Enkei RPF1 black edition for track duties.

These are going to be wrapped in some A050s (courtesy of Muggz).



Cannot wait for next no limits!

That's it from me for now.

Cheers,
Tin

nice, I have a soft spot for rpf1s. good effort getting out at barbs, 10 seconds improvement is not too shabby.

good work Tin, those new rims and tyres will make some difference too
your car looked quick and sounded great except when you let some bmw owner drive it

What size are those r comps? Nice work on hitting the track too!

Thanks Dave. Haha yes...agreed! Don't think I'll let that happen again

And also agreed with the tyres, cannot wait! Hopefully I'll be able to shave off a few more secs with them.

Few more updates.

R-comps have been mounted. Bring on Oct no limits!



Also managed to score this

245's bulge a bit on the 8" rim but should be good!
