That wing looks awesome! Did you have to do much reinforcement below it?

At first I was like wtf is COTA.....then I was like oh Circuit of the Americas......then I was like omfg that track is beautiful. I remember watching the F1 race on tv last year and made it one of my bucket list items to drive on that track!

Took it to the gun range and shot it up to little pieces. Im running Invidia now and it sounds and looks amazing. Sadly my car's engine blew up and is getting a replacement put in at the toyota dealer as we speak. I should have her back up and running soon.

BRZranger · 03-23-2013, 06:33 PM

What caused the engine failure? Replaced out of pocket or covered under warranty?

ICantAffordAnLFA · 03-26-2013, 05:33 PM

Same here man, im exited. Sucks ill have to wait until January since im leaving town tomorrow

Nope :p its a 1967 TVR Tuscan V8

Anyways guys I had a chance to head out to the track and try to beat my personal best 1:29.8 and i did, i beat it by a full second posting a 1:28.8

. This means im 3 secconds faster than my M3

Here is the video and pics as usual, i added a bit more downforce on the wing and 2 more psi in the rears which i think helped out a lot. Weather was beautiful as well, cloudy skies and 68F.

Here is a section of the tracks lap board, we had to write over it like 3 times since i kept improving :

WOW. .3 secs behind an M3 w/ Dinan products (probably a tune), and R1's......very well done my man.

I still have a lot left on my warranty so I've just been trying to do everything I can that doesn't involve FI, CAI, pulleys, short shifter, strut brace, thinking about buying sway bars, rear strut brace and an H brace....definitely looking into coil overs and buying some light wheels/sticky tires. You're thread is an inspiration to all of us. Keep it up!
