Fucked up good and hit the exhaust on a steep driveway. It squashed the pipe and it was rubbing the oil pan. Just gonna cry now.
There's residue everywhere but I can't quite tell what fluid it is.
I can probably crush the exhaust pipe back to shape but I need to figure out where this liquid is coming from

Got the exhaust clearanced and back together. Car seems to be running as it was.
No drips.
Guess I can attempt to autocross again this weekend and find out I suppose....
Also someone got video of the car running the course with the googly eyes. Really hoping the video would pop up on the FB group so I could share it.

Again drove fine during the session then bucked on the way home.
I'm leaning towards tune related. Every time I reflash the ecu it goes away for a little bit. Then randomly comes back.
Is he tuning again?Man, you gotta get that Mspec tune, he's literally the best in country. Pain in the ass to do it again but you won't have to do it again after he works his magic.
From what I heard he was dealing with medical shit.
I mentioned this a few posts back.
But here are the side by sides of the difference in car handling on stock suspension vs lowering springs and koni yellows. This is a very similar turn.

Finally took off the old side motor mount.
Couldn't remember why I left it on. Then remembered the bolts weren't threaded very long so I couldn't just cut off the extra.
Trip to ace hardware racing it is.
I had also finally determined where my "tire" was rubbing at Autocross yesterday.
My mudflaps are set to self clearance on the ground mode and that's the noise I've been hearing the whole time. lmao
As far as I can tell I found a fix for the tune. It's not perfect and I'll still look into talking with Mikey, but it hasn't bucked and I've driven the car every day for over a week and did over 200 miles.
No, I don't think he did when I emailed through his site last time either. That's what made me go with the other guy.
Looking at dropping the car off next weekend.
The bucking has stopped, but it's still a little fucky in the 1 to 2k rpm range on cold starts.
Also when people saw my dyno sheet they said there shouldn't be a dip and that my vtec probably isn't set up optimally.
So hopefully things go well with Mikey.

Only been a few hours, but the car sure drives smoother when grannying around and VTEC feels like it hits harder
Also 8500 redline now.

It's definitely awesome and an absolute riot.
But also it's hard to not look at this....
Don't worry just day dreaming. It's gonna stay as it sits for a while.

Nah I'm too busy tinkering lmao.
Today's project was fixing the shaking rearview mirror.
It's essentially only held on with a spring clip, but it's aligned with a chunk of plastic that had two screws in it and both those screws were loose.
Put a lil drip of blue loctite on there.
I think the next move is to move to decent dot 4 fluid.
My brakes were getting mushy just at Autocross.
