Feeling Safer - Bash Bar Install

Having nothing rigid between you and the bumper is not a good idea.  So, I got a Drift Armor bash bar.  The install was really easy.  Of the two holes on the bash bar, the top ones lined right up to the existing bolt holes used for the original bumper reinforcement.  For the second set of holes, I made sure that the bash bar was lined up horizontally with the frame and drilled a hole to use with a bolt+nut.  Made sure to use locking washing and tightened it to the torque spec of the factory bolt.

Result was that the bumper actually does not droop as much as advertised.  The only issue is that the front blinkers don't fit anymore because the bash bar goes exactly where the housing of the blinker goes.  In another post I'll show the temporary solution to get the lens to fit and make it look like stock.

I got the bash bar from Enjuku Racing.

Blackhawk farms high speed autox

A friend and I raced at the MCSCC high-speed auto cross event at Blackhawk farms.

No trophies, but the car survived. So that's a win!

At the racetrack we learned:

- starters that are more than 15 years old should be replaced to minimize the need for embaracing kick-starts while at a racetrack.

- Silvia needs a suspension upgrade. Running stock suspension setup really doesn't help even with the super sticky Falken Azenis tires.

First post!

So instead of using my SilviaProject.com site for updates about the Silvia, I'm making it easier for myself to keep stuff updated. Hopefully now I'll post more about the Silvia.
