I have heard that as well from others. There is also a new track in Tammorth NH, Club Motorsports Park that just got paved.

I've been considering a PC680 with a nice bracket for a while, but I don't like the FT86Speedfactory branding, and the KCMachine one is specifically for a Shorai which I haven't had good luck with in the past.

Here is the pic I promised...no bling.


Hint of things to come. More weight savings!

OK. I spent all night figuring out my photo issue for you guys. Did it work?

I think it's a google account permissions thing. I'm getting a grayed out negative circle? lol.

I guess I need to get a new image hosting site. One day Google photos was fine, and now no one can see my pics.

I used to use Google too, but I found https://imgsafe.org/ to be way easier.

Looking forward to see your pictures.

Alright. Pics should be all good.

Upgraded by stereo system today! lol. Ill be selling the stereo, speakers and amp in the for sale section.

I attended a HPDE day at Lime Rock. I have never physically been there before but I have done a million laps on Forza. lol. Its a tricky course but I had a blast despite struggling for grip on my 2 year old RS3's. I will be headed to Watkins Glen for NASA time trial nationals later this week as a spectator. Probably no more track days this year considering big things happening soon so I can compete in time trials next year.

I made a very stupid decision to trade exhausts from my Invidia Q300 to a FT86 Speedfactory V1. I figured its practically the same thing except a little less weight. Its not. The car is un-drivable loud with my setup. Its almost time for winter anyway I guess. I will be selling the V1 in the classifieds if interested.


PS. I went through my entire build thread and updated the pics. So all of them should work now!

Installed ARP extended lug studs for a little added security today.

INSTALL INFORMATION! Before removing the rear hub, remove the wheel speed sensors. Its just a 10mm bolt and pull. Otherwise you risk damaging the sensor (like i did) when removing the axle/hub. Save yourself $150 bucks.

I purchased and installed a lift at my shop. I bought it used from a muffler shop that closed. After testing it on my daily Honda Fit, I put the FRS on it and got to work. I installed The Velox end plates/canards and the TIC steering rack bushings. Install of both items was a breeze. Now I have to find some better lights for my shop.
