Boyce your car gets better and better. How do you like the new set up with the coilovers in.

Man, not gonna lie, I really wish I had better job and no debt because I love your car and would love to copy, or at least leech a bit off your ideas and do something similar, but all that stuff's got to be expensive.

Thank you. Don't rush into modding your car it is good as it is. Make the modding fun and take your time. Don't worry you'll get there.

Was great meeting you and your wife at Buttonwillow! Your car looks even more spectacular in person

Thanks to DCH-Scion of Torrance and to all the sponsors! One of the Best meets I've been to!!!

These are the freebies we got.

Gotta say @BOYCE your car is beyond perfect. It has the right balance between flare and mods the blend together. This style is exactly how I envision my car when its completely.

Thank you, I try to research on the components before making a decision. I'm installing the components that I really like to avoid costly replacement in the future.

One of the components that I had trouble deciding on was the rear spoiler. I wanted something simple that looks good and provides some amount of downforce. 5 Axis spoiler was on top of my list from the very start but reading here on the forums the headaches that other owners had to go through with its installation, I decided to do it last and wait for the right person to do the install. After attending several meets, I was fortunate enough to get to know the FRS-86 guys. It was also through these meets that I found out that Young of FRS-86 used to work for 5 Axis. He’s the guy that I was looking for. I ordered the spoiler from him and when he informed me that it has arrived, I asked him if he could install it that night. And he did! I was there watching him doing the install and I was impressed. He was very detailed, was very careful and made sure that it fits perfectly. Great job!

Thanks Randy! I owe it to you and the rest of the Evasive guys. Making decisions with my mods with your inputs made it a breeze.

I never regretted upgrading to the coilovers. I tested it on the track with the street/daily driver setup. The ride is so smooth yet it has the stiffness that I was looking for. On my next test, i want it adjusted to a little more aggressive setup and I will be driving it differently.

Here are a few pics from the track.

Car looks great but.... I'm surprised no one else has mentioned this, you're running 225 up front and 265 at the rear - surely this has ruined the grip balance somewhat and the car will now understeer quite noticably when on the limit...?

Thanks! Yes, you are right. It had a very slight understeering on the track when it was pushed to its limit. I was expecting it considering that I fixed my car with a street setup in mind and purposely tracked it with the same settings. Surprisingly though, the understeer was so minimal that you can easily fix by adjusting the tire pressure and damper settings. I guess my suspension components helped a lot.

I was running on springs for a good 2 months and had the staggered setup with 225 fronts to avoid any rubbing issues. Stance was my first priority when I started modding my car. Track use came in second. But right now, I want to track my car more often and Evasive will be adjusting my setup that is more suited for track use. Hopefully, I won’t have problems by then.

Regardless, I will have a great time for sure as I already had my OEM Audio Plus system installed.

Pics to follow.
