Your E-Brake is a wrench...

Fu#%ing Awesome

I was thinking of doing this on my FD, changing the ebrake over to the drivers side. Is there anything involved other than bringing the lined to the drivers side?

Getting ready for Washington! The car runs flawless and actually still trying to learn its abilities. We will be gathering data very closely for the next few weeks in hopes that we can get a final setup for the last few events of the season.

Hey, saw you run at FD Seattle. It was unfortunate that you were having trouble, what happened exactly?

we had a transmission speedo cable come out during the 2nd qual run.....all the trans oil came out and made the car slippery on the big bank.Other than that the car is working flawless no trouble just simple maintenance and tightening the loose bolts from now on.

We haven't touched the car since the car rolled out of the shop,its build so durable using the right tune and parts to keep the car cool.

The turbo is our R-W T-76mm turbo semi ball bearing with P trim exhaust wheel........everything on this car in the engine compartment is all off the shelf from the website.No big trix and we make 600Rwhp with at 18-20psi range.

ok so my question is how much does it run to do the full 3rotor swap into a fd race chassis? im in the process of buildin a fd for xdc and not sure on the motor yet... was planing on going with an ls2 but i caught wind of a possible rule change in formulaD only allowing factory motor swaps. so now im considering my options. any input would be great. you can pm me with the info if that would be better.

THANKS,
MAX
