Hey Scott, you bought our FD. If you have any questions never hesitate to contact Ivan, Marlin, or myself. You'll also find this board to be a tremendous technical resource with some very knowledgeable people. Congratulations and see you at the track...

what makes the chassis track preped. is it just lowered or do you have poly bushings would look into a set if not. brakes are a big part to should do alright with factory calipers but maybe steelbraided brake lines and clutch line. just some ideas.

This is a full-blown race FD. It has competed and won at some of the largest sporting events in Canada. It's not simply lowered.

And Scott, we have a mutual friend in Colene. I met her while I was on SCCA World Challenge staff as an Official and Tech for eight years. Also did twelve years with Indycar.

Yes it will be a 2 rotor turbo car. With many thanks going to JDK for the help to now and all the help to come.

It will run in the CASC-OR GT Series, where it has previously run.

Thanks to Racer Jason also, I will post pics when I get it but I am sure in the classifieds there are pics.
