It's for controlling the pedal dance, ABS and TPMS with a single switch. You can read more at the website: http://beastronixracing.com

lol statik beat me to it. Thanks bud!

The harness he has is actually one not released to public yet, but if anyones who sees this has needs for this harness before its actual release, I'll be happy to upgrade it to what he has.

didn't like the way the seat angle and amount of flex in the seat from bottom mounting it, picked up a set of Planted side mounts and drilled the corbeau rails/bracket to fit

glad to see someone else bringing a salvage back to life!

so I've registered for a 2 day drift event at Lime Rock Park next weekend. I have no idea what I'm doing haha, I should probably find an empty parking lot before then and practice some figure 8's... anyway I finally got a chance to install some of the last of the parts I had collected:

stock LSD with a 4.56 final drive assembled by Weir performance
"sickspeed" knockoff cusco diff cover (so far no issues, diff holds about 1.6L)
diff support brace
subframe brace
whiteline subframe bushing inserts



This stiffens everything up A LOT back there. Tons of noises and vibrations which you should expect, you get a decent amount of clunk at take off if you're not gentle (from the cf driveshaft u joints. At some point I will drop the subframe and go for new subframe mounts entirely do the diff mounts, but this will work for now

took the car out drifting at lime rock park this past weekend (friday/saturday event). this was my first drift event and I got tons of seat time over the 2 days, it took me most of the first day to get the hang of it haha, my brain just did not want to let go of the steering wheel. unfortunately some of my better runs didn't make it on camera because gopro batteries are weak like little girls, but I caught a few decent runs.

I think it went as best as I could hope for my first event, I found flicking/power over worked really well for my setup on this course.

Before the next event in october I want to install some front diff bushings to eliminate the driveshaft clunk, but otherwise I'm going to keep the current setup and just practice going faster and working on my lines trying to connect corners.

Looks like you caught on pretty quick if that was your first time out Nick. That track looks like it would be a blast...

Good to hear! I'm actually testing your update this morning. Optimizing to the limit. Almost perfect... I'll email you once it's ready to go.

Hey man, so how much did the frs bumper plus paint and other misc items end up costing you total? I really like the frs in wrb so may spring for this later myself

I really don't keep track. rough guess is like 300 for bumper, 300-500 for paint, if you want the FRS turn signals check ebay I want to say 100 for the pair, plus bezels another 100.
