Less than 2 weeks away from 2026 DGRR.

I've changed the oil and will be attempting to install OEM fender liners and carbon fiber wheel covers over the weekend. Also need to drive it a little more before I take the 500 mile round trip to DGRR.

You're driving the car and not towing it?

Correct, I drove it there last year and got around 20 mpg on 87 octane.

Hopefully we have an uneventful drive there and back.

Safe travels... looking forward to seeing the 4 rotor again.

I wish my drive was only 500 miles round trip... I'm more like 1400miles round trip

That is awesome and a great testimonial of a quality build. I'll see you next week!

Carbon covers and OEM fender liners were installed prior to the event and still on the car after the event.

I put around 600 miles on the car the past weekend.

After seeing the Feed style hood, I'm pretty sure I'm going to order one here in a few weeks.

Also want to have AC installed in the next couple of months. Really leaning towards electric AC.

6/6/26 - Drove the FD to cars and coffee in Franklin, TN. Wife, father in law, and cousin Vinnie joined me on the cruise to the event. Following the event we went to eat a local restaurant then came back to the house to chill.








6/20/26 - Drove the FD to cars and coffee in Columbia, TN. Wife, father in law and some friends from work joined us this go around.






Current driving impressions of the FD is still the same
  • Lots of fun to drive when I can open it up
  • Driving from traffic light to traffic light and inching along isn’t fun
  • AC would be really nice to have when the ambient temp is above 85 degrees


Engine temps - Driving in traffic on a summer day with temps around 85-90 degrees, oil temperature gets up to around 220 degrees while coolant temps get up 190 degrees. Once I get moving oil and coolant temp prob drop down 10 degress.



Currently this is how the car sits.
