Meh, you'd be better off dumping it and getting something that's more of a suitable track platform.

Financially it makes way more sense to run identical cars. Cuts down on parts costs, can swap stuff, etc. The wife wont drive competitively, she just wants her own track car for HPDE. So the practically done 09 will do fine. I could just swap good track pads, tires and race brake fluid and it would do great. Eventually an LSD and call it a day.

Lol financially a Miata would make the most sense.

Well, I knew it was all going to well. Couple weeks back when the "polar vortex" hit Chicago my rear main seal blew out. More than likely due to a frozen catch can. Thankfully I just got the new tow pig and that's getting me to and from work till I can fix this pos. Decided of I'm doing the rear main I might as well refresh this bitch a little bit. Pulling the motor, doing timing chain, guides, tensioner, re sealing the entire motor and pulling the turbo for to send out for a refresh. Hopefully after this bought of repairs I wont have to worry about shit on this car for a while. Suspension, trans, brakes, subframe, all chassis bolts have under 5k mikes on em so getting this motor sorted out should give me a practically new car lol.

Miata Is Always The Answer. Either that or an E30/36/46, or really anything would be better than a GTI :lol:

Well, since the rear main blew and the rest of the motor leaks like a bitch, figured now would be as good a time as any to just pull the motor and do a refresh. Everything else on the car is practically brand new at this point so I'll just finish it off. Also pulling the turbo and sending it out for a rebuild at the same time.

Well the motor shit is slowly coming along.
Also decided I might as well install this water meth kit.
Hoping to have it all wrapped up by the end of next weekend.
