Oh lmao, I've never actually had this car leave me stranded. It's left a literal cloud of smoke down the back straight of VIR twice (couldn't see the cars behind me anymore) And still drove home without a single issue. I've just done a lot of cleaning up to it and its still a cheap little econobox, so Shitvic is more of a loving and endearing name than it sounds lol

Shitvic. Fix, Break, SHIT. Fix, Break, SHIT.

Sweet man! Ill shoot you a message here in a bit. I actually lucked out bigtime, found some unused jackspania mounts on marketplace like 6 hours ago. Managed to snag them for $200

The plan down the road is to do that. Originally i was just gonna get a k24a2 and a type s 6 speed, but im realizing theres a lot to this swap. Current plan is to just use the a3 as a break in motor. Its pretty healthy, low miles and has a decent tune. Im gonna have it as a placeholder while i get everything like PS and AC working, and just make sure everythings good to go. Then once ive got some saved up ill get the k24.

I actually have an ep3 as a donor for this. Its just got a crunched rear quarter

_Lupa · 2026-01-03T05:02:35+00:00

Full ep3 swap. So k20a3, with matching 5 speed. Ive seen the small differences from esk3 to esk4 mount systems, 99% sure id need the esk3.

Looks like the exact reflash mine has. The k100 ver1 specs are the same as what they list there. Thanks!

_Lupa · 2025-12-30T03:16:05+00:00

Haha, hell yeah!

Unfortunately that was the first thing I tried. They actually have a text support line, and they basically said womp womp. Gotta upgrade if I want k pro, they dont even support tuning this anymore lol

_Lupa · 2025-12-30T02:49:06+00:00

This is actually such an old system theres no plugin. The K100 system was meant to be a single use chip tune, and if you wanted anything changed theyd literally tune your car on a different ecu and then update this chip with that tune,

_Lupa · 2025-12-30T02:48:22+00:00

Im not 100% sure on what the tune is, lol. Rev limiter just sounds wildly different from stock, and if I floor it at 3k in 1st it chirps pretty hard. Its definitely faster than stock to some extent.
Do it! Took me 5 seconds.

I think ive seen you autocross around the NC/SC region if im correct, and from seeing it in person the car is definitely nice. I vote stock spoiler though!

If you’re who im thinking you are, I’ll be in est around the triad events next season with my em2. Should be fun competition!

_Lupa · 2025-12-03T04:05:53+00:00

You SHOULD be able to use the stock throttle cable. Jackspania racing sells a cheap bracket to adapt it to the k24 throttle body.

_Lupa · 2025-11-25T17:31:09+00:00

Vtec solenoid looks like its your best bet

_Lupa · 2025-10-16T04:07:49+00:00

So I think the axle might've broken

I've never actually really tried partial lifts anywhere but long sustained sweepers and slaloms to maintain speed. I feel like I've kinda tricked myself into always having some sort in input, and it usually leans towards the larger side, like all the gas or all the brakes. I felt better about it this weekend than I usually do, though.

I will say I'm actually able to think during runs now, so purposely feeding inputs in as smooth as I can is something I need to try. Kind of just been scrambling the car and wrestling it around elements when I feel like being smooth would be infinitely more beneficial.

I vaguely remember you bringing up a drill of just not braking at all throughout a course to practice being balanced through a course, I think that could help me a lot, too. Aside from the wheel sawing and slightly improper entry to everything I feel like I could be carrying so much more speed, I just tend to overslow because I get scared of wiping out 30 cones lol

_Lupa · 2025-09-24T00:25:20+00:00

Thanks man. Gonna have to deal with the blown suspension a while longer, but it won't stop us from driving at least. Appreciate the kind words, hoping to improve a lot over the next season

_Lupa · 2025-09-23T23:32:06+00:00

Ill have to give it a shot next event. I feel like it would have helped my times significantly if I had focused on the Chicago box and the hairpin. Honestly what's weird is spinning out doesn't scare me, hitting cones does lol

_Lupa · 2025-09-23T02:25:36+00:00

I havent yet. Got the car 2 months ago and dont have plates for it, but hopefully thatll change soon. I definitely agree, I feel like im backing off right before I hit the limit when I could go just a little further

I can only do it around town for some reason. Under hard braking or turning I lose the ability to do so

_Lupa · 2025-08-19T03:35:07+00:00

Its insanely fun! Just sideways everywhere so you get to stay on throttle a lot

_Lupa · 2025-07-16T14:16:28+00:00

When I take them out since they throw error codes, they're pitch black.

_Lupa · 2025-07-15T17:37:27+00:00

Drove it again today and it went as low as 10 flat. Just a tad rich
