Depends on your experience level, but in most cases you would have an instructor until you are signed off to run solo. If you have lots of track experience (and exercise good judgment), you could possibly be signed off after the morning session.

I may come up to watch and take pictures.
Just took my FR-S out of the garage, first time this year.
Too bad insurance starts tomorrow.

If I put the new wheels on this weekend,
I may buy a Mastercraft 1/2-in Drive Torque Wrench $99.99.
I understand the wheel nut torque should be 89ft-lbs.
I don't want to take any chances.

That is boyfriend of the year material right there. Maybe she can get you 3 laps at Tremblant in a Lambo. That is what they were offering at the car show last month.

so you are expected to run with an instructor for the whole time if you have less experience? also doesn't the instructor portion cost more? I've done some MCO events before. I used to autocross back when I had a genesis coupe. I will be doing that again this year also!

ON another note car is now in the driveway! picked it up yesterday and have 200 km on it already haha trying to do a bit of a break in period before i head to shannonville on the 27th. anyone else going to come down for that event? seems well priced at 70$ for 530-830 if im not mistaken.

Congrats on getting the car. I don't live too far from Shannonville, but I don't know if I'll be able to make it out. The wife may have other ideas for me Saturday as I plan on driving up to Ottawa for the meet on Friday night. Speaking of that...do we know how many of us are hoping to make it out on the 26th?

[UMB FR-S]

ill probably be there on the 26th also. so i was looking at my car today ...


why is there soo many boxes coming off of the stock intake?
you have the one big box right to the left in front of the filter then there is another compartment under the piping after the filter. what the hell are they for other then taking up space?

Correct me if I am wrong, the left piping on the air filter is the intake from the front bumper and the right pipe is after the filter that goes to the engine. I do not know about the box under the split.

My guess on this implementation? Just to cover up the empty space in front of the engine and leave room for turbo charger. Once you get custom intake, the front space is suddenly open for turbo!!!
