I'm fairly new at the whole track thing, so my best advice would be to get a decent set of tires and get to as many events that you can. Nothing beats experience it seems.
I'm still on the open diff myself. I've been meaning to buy one but something always breaks when I get the money haha.

Damn that sucks about the twins. Unfortunately my twins are blown as well, about to purchase another set to swap in for the time being, so that I can start piecing together my single swap. I tried drifting at a local event recently on an open diff, definitely makes it difficult to do haha

In the meantime while the car is down I painted my super sweet calipers. They look way better behind the black wheels with a good coat of paint on them.
I also decided to snap a few pictures of the pillar gauge pod that me and a friend made. It houses my wideband and boost gauge.

I also Installed my Bride seats I got. Huge improvement over the stock seats in my opinion. They have a lot more support.
And here is a shot of my interior. Im glad I got the black interior over the tan one.

I was really happy with them, they are light and they weren't too expensive. shipped weight was only 31lbs for both

Then disaster! For some reason the 1J decided to bend my intake cam... not sure how it happened or why but the cam was obviously shot, along with the head.
so I got the head off and ordered another one.
Here's the old head and twins off of the motor. Thanks to some friends this 160lbs of garbage could be removed haha.
Got the new head refreshed at Rat Tech and couldn't of been happier. While it was apart I had it milled and installed new Crower valve springs and some Crower 264 cams. Also had the machinist at the shop do a mild valve job to make sure everything sealed up nicely.

whats really crazy is my intake cam did the same thing on my rb25 this weekend!!
