Yes you need a tri point front bar and some 600 plus springs but those konis need to go hehe.

I'd go straight to the exact setup I have. The Tein Super Racing or spend the big money and go Penske

Unfortunately I've dump so much money into this stupid car, I can't really afford do dump another $3k or more into the suspension right now LOL. I'm thinking of going with the ground control coil over kit for the konis for right now, and the tri-point thick bar.

Yeah i ended up buying a no slide mounting plate and sparco brackets for the passenger seat. The problem is I can't get it mounted very low, so tall people don't fit with a helmet.

I think when i get a chance I will just take it to piper and have them make a custom bracket for the seat so I can get it lower and further back.

oh, forgot to post a paddock pic. I actually ended up taking off the fuel rail covers just to make sure they weren't holding in any excess heat

Event went pretty well, got to meet some guys from the club here I haven't met before, sorry i didn't get to talk with you guys more, i ended up with 3 students on Sat and was pretty busy.

I need to pull the codes off the car, but it started acting funny mid day saturday, backfiring and popping while at WOT. I think because it is so rich I may have fouled the plugs and the O2 sensors.

Anyway, here are a couple of vids

Ugh, 3 students?! Car looks and sounds awesome thundering down the back straight! It's too bad I didn't get a chance to run with you. I really wanted to see the difference in power delivery. We have an event thread running over in the regional section with some other videos. Feel free to post yours up there too!

Awesome. I really like the sound of your exhaust. What is the setup there?

Headers or manis?
Piping diameter?
Cats or no?
Muffler/catback?

Isn't the car so much fun with TORQUE???!!??
