Eric, your FD is freakin' fast! We gotta get some race rubber on that thing next time. Probably give ol' Dan a scare or two. I'll get those fresh Kumho's on there so you'll get a fair run in my car next time. I'll have the clutch and flywheel in today, so you'll get a chance to try that out as well.

The 94.xxx you pulled yesterday in your fun run should have been good for 3rd fastest time of day (that I saw) had you been driving in the event with the car. And one of those above you was a formula cart! Nice drivin' Don.
I'll see you March 9th.

Thanks man. I was a little sloppy in three sections, so I think there *could* have been 1-2 seconds more that I could've shaved off. All that on STREET TIRES. Your car is capable of waxing ANY of the cars that were there on Sunday.
Your car handles pretty good. I think the Tokico's are fine. They're a little softer than my Koni's ... but what your car lacks in stiffness, it makes up for in raw HP! The only upgrades I would recommend suspension-wise is a stiffer front sway bar (to get the car to rotate a little faster in those tight sweepers), and some Hawk HP+ brake pads (so you can brake WAYYY LATE). You don't have to go all out and get the Tri-point swaybar ... you could probably suffice with either the RB or Eibach replacements. That is, when funds allow for it.
Kewl, dood. I'll see you in March.
