On dry pavement the car acts like its on suction cups, but any moisture on the track or weather colder than 40 degrees it's like a roller skate on an oiled surface.

      Were you able to get negative camber in the rear? This will help with the spinning, also if it's wet at all put narrow tires on in the back. Those wide Falken tires will hydroplane very easily.

        We have a set of rain tires. They help so much.

          Yeah. Some boxed triangle sections should do the trick.

              More negative in the rear will help a lot. I run -3.5 in the back now. Zero toe.

                        Got fuel system plummed , wastegate flange welded to manifold, had to reroute heater hose bypass to oil cooler, started to build oil feed line for hairdryer and half done with oil drain.

                        Need to order bulkhead for oil pan.

                        No pics today. [emoji52]

                              Oil line finished. Concessions made. Intercooler will be moved off center to make routing IC pipes easier and keep them as short as possible. We are mounting intercooler on top of bumper for clearance and we end up off track sometimes.
