figured I'd update, since I've been working on the car the past few nights. There were a few things found when I had a state inspection, and I had them check for things that would compromise it's track use. Found the following:
-driver side ball joint is shot (integral for the LCA=me dropping more$$)
-passenger side front wheel bearing
-progress rear sway bar
-progress front sway bar
-progress LCA brace
-JWT Popcharger
I've got the LCA and both sway bars off the car at this point. The rear sway bar is almost done installing and I'm waiting on the LCA and hub to come in (had to be ordered, so expected to arrive early next week). Front goodies should start going on tomrrow night.
I've also decided that VIR will probably also be the last event that I drive in this car (aside from autoX), so I won't be installing the coilovers and it will be retired to primarily daily driver status. My reasoning: I really miss RWD and this will make an excellent commuter for me. Soooooo, if you know anybody with a B13 SE-R looking for a set of the best coilovers made for this chassis, have them call me. Progress is way backordred on these and it will probably be 6 months before any more will start going out (I had to wait 4 months and this time estimate was given after mine was shipped out), so I essentially have one of the only NIB sets available in the US.
