New Forum Member for Racer X Fab

Hey guys, I’m Alex. I have been working for Racer X Fab since 2013, doing marketing and graphic design. I am transitioning over to the engineering and manufacturing side of the business. Currently pursuing my bachelors degree in mechanical engineering and I’m in my third year. I will be managing and contributing to active threads Racer X has open on the forum and hopefully can share what I’ve learned over the years with this platform. Looking forward to getting to know everyone.

I have the LCA. Very nice piece. Just bought the oil cooler. Again a very nice piece. Lots of engineering and testing. Just need to install it. Lol. Never enough time. very worthy of this car as well as other platforms. Recommend at least a visit to the website. Got some really good stuff.
And I am not affiliated in any way. Just love the parts they sell

Glad to hear that you like our dual catch can, we are actually in the process of updating it with a new design.

We are wrapping up our new catch can design currently, here is a pic of our prototype unit installed on our test vehicle.



Currently we are in development for an NA intake manifold, possibly a turbo version as well depending on the outcome of the NA version. Hopefully we will have the prototype done soon and then on to dyno testing.

it's better to use upper control arms if you want crazy camber. coincidentally, Racer X makes those too.

i have the upper, but they give too much tire clearance from fender. my wheels were not aggressive enough so i took the rear uppers off and i want to use lowers to get double the camber on the same size same fitment. i think i may need to go pbm or gtspec.
