Took the car to Sebring this last weekend.. some pics/videos (yeah I actually uploaded videos! ha)

All loaded up in the trailer.. was 80-90% chance of rain so I borrowed street tires from a buddy (owner of the DGM BRZ track car we built with @Racecomp Engineering T2 coilovers and @JRitt Essex front BBK) to ensure that the rain would stay away... it worked!

Showing off the newly installed FT86Club and Shiba Racing stickers from @ichitaka05

And I installed new Goodyear (thanks for the suggestion Trump!) Supercar 3R tires on the new @APEX Race Parts forged EC-7R wheels (which are quite nice btw):

Anyways.. onto the more fun stuff.. the car is definitely a bit loose right now at Sebring, a trait it did not have elsewhere.. and that's because the rear suspension is bottoming out on that wonderfully "smooth" Sebring surface. I either need to heavily ramp up rates, increase ride height, or swap coilovers. Or drive slower I guess.

My fastest lap of the day:

And video from that entire session:
