anyone in the group have RCE yellows? I've driven the eibach proline, check. Anyone on anything else? I know this is off topic mid thread- but I am comparing rates, building my spreadsheet and trying to hone in on an interim coil solution till I can afford trackable coilovers. I want stiffer than the prolines..but not too much stiffer.

Whoa! Being off this thread for a couple of days is tough! So much to read through! We're in the factory at all hours trying to get ready for SEMA next week, painful! How's the exhaust project going YRUYUR? I saw it looked like you got some pipes up there. any more pics?

Oh, and I know this is way late, but you can have a look at some of the pics from the autocross down here: http://www.localmotors.com/autocross...house/2012/10/

There are two FRS turn-shots that are pretty cool.

What is the story with the heat problems with the muffler deletes again? Are people see this generally, or is it just on a couple peoples cars?

If you remove the factory muffler, the remaining pipe is turned up slightly and is more than a foot towards the front of the car. Since this car generates a surprising amount of heat, so over a long period of driving, the rear bumper cover and diffuser can get really hot, and even melt. Heat shielding the remaining exhaust tunnel seems to help, but the preferred method would be to make a short extension pipe to get the exhaust gases past the edge of the rear bumper.

That's the problem in a nutshell.

This is the simplest solution, but not necessarily the cheapest:


A short extension pipe bolted to the existing flange and a single hanger (I know this one has two) to save weight. This Nameless piece is $99, but could probably be fabbed up for less money.

Thanks for the photos Alex, looks like it was a good time. Here's to hoping I can stop working on the weekends so much so I can hang out with you guys more often.
