Nice! Yeah it's all good after the rains we got last weekend.

Try the Mexican restaurant in town next time if you haven't already, or Tapoco Lodge grill just 3 miles south of the TOTD stores. Both highly recommended.

There's a guy with a certain red FD. Can you keep up with him in these vs the S2000?

Nope, not when he's got everything working. When he's got fresh slicks, and it's warm out, that thing is like it's on velcro. If I can catch him with worn tires, non-slicks, or on a cooler day/night, then we can play pretty close though.

That's really pretty interesting. I imagine as often as your out there that you're pretty damn good. Given that, if he's faster that's saying a lot.

I'm hoping to catch him when I'm out there one of these years to see if he drives like the rumors make him sound.

A few shots of what we've been working on past couple of weeks. I'll be posting more updates when finished so sub if you want to keep up!

Forged Performance Front Crash Cage with mounts for intercoolers, oil coolers, aux. lights, etc. It weighs 5lbs more than the stock bar. This is all getting powder coated black.







External wastegate for AVO Stage 3 turbo kit





Also doing lots of lubrication upgrades, Flex Fuel and fuel pump upgrade, so we'll see just what this little AVO turbo has in it maxed out before moving on to building a custom Forged Performance signature turbo kit just for these cars that will deliver max response and power. Stay tuned...

Love the thread. I've got a question as far as your exhaust. I'm from eastern NC and I just bought a '16 limited.
Have you removed all the cats completely? I am curious if you will have to put them back on for inspection?
