On the cheap side I ran a Etx-9 all last year without issue. I was a bit skeptical that it would work, but since I had it laying around from my miata I figured I may as well give it a shot. Occasionally it wouldn't start the car if I left it off the tender for more than a week, so it would stay on the tender most of the time. I don't DD my car though.

Do your seats use standard L brackets for mounting? If you go Buddy Club, re-weld their spot welds to ensure they don't break in a collision, or even long term use. |

If you're set on a AGM battery instead of a LiFePO4, then get the Deka. Deka is the OE for Braille, similar to how Precision Instrument is the OE for SnapOn torque wrenches. PM to order the Shorai. |

Could you send me links to the Bride and Nagisa rails? I couldn't seem to find them on your website. Would the circuit 2 fit in the nagisa rails? It is a wider seat and what I could find of the nagisa rails said that they don't fit wide seats. Also, would you feel comfortable doing wheel to wheel racing with the Nagisa or Bride rails? I definitely want to keep the car safe and although I would prefer to have the adjustability of sliders I am ok going with custom mounts for my seat position, like @Uplink suggested, if none of the sliders are good enough.

Mike,
Im planning my first track day at Streets of Willow, and I had a question about ride height. Im running buddy club racing spec coilovers right now, and my fender is 25.25 inches from the ground. My question is, how much should I raise my car to fully utilize the dampers? I believe Im 1.5-2 inches lower than stock. also, I recently started to get a clunk in the front of my car, and I believe its due to bad strut bearings :/ Will this negatively affect the handling on the track? |

Did someone had the opportunity to test the TRD front and side splitters track efficiency ? The prices for TRD are much less stupid out there than other options.
I would much rather have a lightweight plastic aero kit than a bullshit heavy carbon fiber one. Edit with pictures : Would this be a good track solution ? (With proper static oversteer/understeer setup to balance the wing) Or is it just a marketing car ? That would help me a lot clearing speed bumps if it works.

And yeah, in the top hat. I put my car up on stands and turned the wheel to replicate the clunking sound and I tracked it down to the top hats. I figured you would be the best person to ask. I plan on replacing them, but probably not before I hit the track. |
