As for cost, $600 for the hood, and about $500 for my two spoilers, the roof spoiler hasn't been installed yet. Sean at Vivid racing has been hooking me up with amazing deals on parts, but the Seibon discounts are ridiculous, considering Seibon lip and side skirts now...
did someone say photoshoot?

I suggest under the solar panels atop the ASU parking structure at ASU (on apache), or on top of the parking structure near the Cardinal's stadium, or out by the lake @ Canyon Lake, oooor even on top of south mountain (south mountain park).

I'm more concerned with the lack of communication with Visconti when issues come up. Its usually around a week turn around just to get an answer which usually turns out being the wrong answer and having to wait another week for him to get back to me.

Looks like he lost his dealer status on the forum again as well. I just expect better customer service after giving someone my money.

If you email or call him he rants on his thread about people needing to leave him alone. His voicemail box is full and has only been available once other than the time you helped me tune my car.

Dont get me wrong, I love the tune. I love the features but others are doing the same tuning with our cars now and I just wish I would gave gone that route.

Just trying to save people the frustration I have been having with this guy.

heres a looong video of a 4-throttles/VVT BPZ3 Miata absolutely dominating me up through White Spar (just outside of Prescott) yesterday.

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_xNy7HckrM&feature=plcp"]Miata & FRS - YouTube[/ame]

You don't have to watch very far in to see that it only takes him a couple corners to make short work of me, lol.

The miata driver is a friend of mine, lives in the area. Running Megasquirtv3 custom build and tune with the Jenvey 4throttles kit, no exhaust, gutted interior, 700lbs front springs with 400lbs rear, running on Enkei RPF1s w/ Toyo R888s. Im sure its got more modifications that Ive forgotten.
Much like the FRS this miata shows that horsepower doesnt mean shit, especially on the downhill. I think even with the ITB\VVT tune its running 140whp, but the car only weighs ~2200lbs.

This does NOT surprise me. I like Fa20 n all too, but no one does testing, and AFR safety like I saw during my testing for Jeff Perrin. Those of you who can wait, i suggest you do as I suspect it will be worth it

Autos at FIR was a blast today. Leighann didn't run today, but Jasper, William, and Brent did. And they got quicker. Jasper has become a whole lot better than last time.

Snuggling is fun. I thought it was cool to see another FRS in the parking lot when I pulled in. I had to park next to you.
