Keeping a 30 year old car street legal and daily-drivable is a challenge whether the car is modified or not. The materials this Elantra is made from break down into completely different things with different structural properties over time. I don't want something stupid like that decay taking my car off the road, and it easily could in my state if I can't pass inspection. I'm doing my best to keep this thing preserved because they're not making any more of them, and I don't plan to ever build another one like it.
I perform several repairs, address several safety concerns with another upgrade, do some maintenance on the tool I use to tune it with, complete my alignment and corner balancing now that the transmission mount bolts have finally been fixed, and then I test my work with an unbiased State Inspector. The Elantra's steering and front suspension have never felt this perfect, ever. My driving is a completely different story, though.
Re: what I broke: Power steering squeal is right back again already, and so is the oil sensor leak. Both permanent (I hope) fixes on the way, and that's just scratching the surface for what's in store.
If my video should draw the ire of this facility for simply documenting the night I had, don't shoot the messenger. This is what was advertised, and what every single ticket holder expected.

If I could add anything that isn't in the video, I had a wonderful time testing my work no matter what you see play out in the video. If everything was easy, then nothing would ever be worthwhile. You win some, you lose some. Not all of my testing required this event, but it really helped. All the people there deserve praise for their part in making it all happen. To me, racing is just like fishing, and I at least got to go and do the thing even if it got away, and I'm still thankful that I can. It would have been nice to get more testing in before the shootout, but that was my only opportunity on a track.
