Easy to see how the ones in back can rack up some miles while the ones in front stay low. The pic probably shows about 25% of the whole lot by the way.

WENT ON MY FIRST TRACK RUN YESTERDAY!!!

Life long dream come true!! It was with an instructor but still it was awesome and the car performed flawlessly. I had to stop in pit lane a few times because I was catching up to people..lol Maybe my number made a difference?

Nice, I wanted to go on the track! I hopefully can someday with my FR-S.

I may have missed it in your post but did you decide on the 16" wheels you are going to run?

well, if you know better than the guys who do this stuff for a living...

Well I have a dual chip LED with 2000Lm per side. Way better and slightly brighter than the Halogens. The DD looks like they are single chip bulbs. I saw a 4 sided bulb out which is what I want since it puts out 360 deg of light like a halogen.

So i've been building a front tag holder and went through a few designs and looks like this will be the final design for the plate holder. The tow bolt bracket is a mess so I have to make something better. I used flat steel and welded some pieces together but it was going to end up too heavy. I found some aluminum plate in the basement I forgot about and it's very light and barely moves when attached to the bracket. I'll post the finished project hopefully by the weekend. It's ugly now but soon to be purdy

stevesnj · 09-24-2015, 04:19 PM

Still working on the tag holder, going to make the tow hook bolt bracket out of aluminum. Should be around 1lb total after that change.

I also had my WinMax W2 pads on my doorstep today! anxious to put them on. Should be a great improvement for light track and DD use.

First camping trip with the 86. Another reason to live the car. :]

Hey Steve, is there more stopping power with these pads?
