This week, I installed ARP extended studs, SPC rear LCAs, and the AP Sprint BBK.

I did the BBK on the street, since I don't have a garage. Or driveway.




Super tight clearance:




I took it in for an alignment afterwards, and raised my ride height about 0.6 inches. Then it got treated to a good cleaning.

Meaty.

Yep, it just baaaaaaaaaaarreeely clears. Maybe 2mm at most. But I know lots of people that have tracked with this setup with no issues, so I should be good!

Had all my rear suspension installed, including hotchkis end links for the front and SPL bump stop tie rod ends. Also had the car corner balanced and alignment done.

Oil for first oil change, along with Motul transmission fluid came today. Also threw in the Perrin air intake hose when I placed the order with FT86SpeedFactory.





Waiting for the weekend to do the oil maintenance and the Raceseng reverse lockout to show up.

Ran it for ~20 minutes to warm it up, got fuel, washed it thoroughly, and put it back under its cover.

Track day, bro. Not my best lap of the day, or even of the session, but it's all I have since I forgot to empty the memory card first.
