One Step at a Time

Well, the journey took another step forward this morning. I recently purchased a 2005 Honda Civic since for the time being, the WRX is out of my financial reach. I believe that with this car I can at least continue to practice my SOLO II skills and get more comfortable with rev-matching timing with my shifts so that the transition will be minimal to the WRX. The new Civic has ABS, full synchros, and a quick reving engine. Its been a large change from the last car but the learning curve is more than managable. Come the spring I'll be enrolling in more SOLO courses and perhaps doing some time trials on some SOLO events. The new car won't be heavily modded since the plan is still to compete in a WRX as soon as possible so I need to keep the costs down. Planned changes include window tinting, spoiler, performance exhaust and maybe full Tein suspension with the Electronic Damping Force Controller.
