No he means positive camber due to his crumpled lower rear subframe(which I recently pulled out ~80% to correct) :lol

I have a whole bunch of updates to add but until I get pics I’ll leave it at this.
Switching over from the greddy profec S to the ECtune controlled solenoid fixed my problem of the boost dropping off and the subsequent rich conditions.
Hopefully it will add some traction for the final autocross of the year as well.

GC8 is a winter car/daily driver until I get bored with the sol. Then it will be swapped, built, caged, you know it.

I may have to change my winter plans a bit. I drained the liquids today and found this:
So no I am going to have to tear down both the block and the transmission (to see whats up with the LSD I have a suspicion that a spring washer cracked). I actually have already found an assembled sleeved Y8 block for 1500 shipped that I may just buy, then I would pull the pistons, rods, and crank out of this and sell whatevers good. Honestly for my bare sleeved block and the rods/pistons should sell for close to that 1500.

No way, do you see how cheap i’m getting a sleeved block for?
If I went B it would be 2500 for the sleeved block equivalent, then I would still need a head, mounts,transmission, and a whole new turbo kit.
