17's are doable with n/a - bone stock motor from the intake air box to the mufflers. fresh spark plugs, plug wires, and oil (faking the funk with the t2 hood.. haha)

Anybody know what car has interchangeable shocks with the FC but are shorter? The shock is too long and I need to droop to get at the ride height I want but now the car rides like a pile of dick, and I'm sure if the shock isnt blown it will be soon.

i think your car wants to look destroyed more than you want it to look pretty.

I agree! It's all about the driver not the look of the car!

your right it was 2nd. it was my first time hitting the bank and was seeing what the car would do. i ran out of gearing by the end of the bank so i will for sure be hitting it in 3rd next time. that was my first event ever so im not complaining to much.
