wow, 25 x $40 = $1000 annual racing budget. So you probably could afford those Ohlins (as additional cost over your KWs), only then you couldn't afford to drive anymore.

Goddammit! Why'd you have to add that up?!? That's not counting fuel used to go to and at events plus the $5K in prep I've put into the car.

Just went to Stockton drift event. Hella fun!! Got to do the pedal dance and ran twice and didnt do great. I had my buddy Joe drive the FRS and he was flying. Had lots of fun! Also, one of the organizers owns a whiteout with the TRD body kit, and there was also a firestorm that i saw. There were also D1 drivers there.

No. Not me. I was too busy to make it out there (I wanted to watch). Not sure who it is.

Hey guys. Just want to get some input from y'all about the "crappy paint job where the paint is peeling off" I posted earlier for my appointment tomorrow.

a. Seeing it is peeling off, is it possible that the area will get bigger where there is a clear bra?

b. having that thought, I did follow their instructions of waiting before doing anything, let them just feather that area that is peeling off or repaint the whole thing? Have to ask them to also pay for the clear bra I had installed(i have the right to ask it? w/c I'm not at fault because I followed their instructions, right?)

c. any other advice?
