Thanks for posting that! I know that feeling. I left there with LS fever.

How cool were the guys in person? I love the Powerblock, and I have watched every episode since I can remember back when Spike was The Nashville Network, haha.

They're an awesome group of guys. We spent the whole day up there and had a great time. I wish I could post some of the pictures I took in the studio, but I can't. These screenshots will do.

Here's some pictures! We took it to Little Talledega (track) recently, had a blast. Really enjoy that course.









Wilwood 6 piston front and 4 piston rear brakes doing their job, covered in the magic dust



Notice the Varrstoen Wheels. Really impressed with them!

I'm in dyer need of good tires, so Falken is sponsoring us with some RT 615's. Hopefully we can keep them happy and continue a relationship.

One more thing. Thank you to Falken Tire and Drift Armor for these new Falken Azenis FK453! They're going to look great on the Varrstoen Wheels and safely get us to #SEMA since we're driving the FR-S across the country to get there. I've heard some great things as far as comfort and noise about these tires so I look forward to street driving with them. I've also heard great things about their functionality too, so we'll see how well they do on the track December 2nd when we go back to TDGP.

In order to achieve this straight to ECU design on this we had to completely rework the entire engine bay chassis harness, and it has been way too time consuming to offer to the public. Hopefully we can figure something out and offer an engine harness for the FR-S/BRZ.

Thanks for reading!

Have you guy's considered producing and selling these harnesses yet?
I am interested in one if you do. PM me if it is a case by case basis. Love your work. I met one of your guy's at import alliance in July when I went down to sparta. I bought a couple of ground wires but would like to rep you guy's with an engine bay wire tuck.
