Don't tell the NSX guys this.

What needs to happen like yesterday, is for someone like @robispec to step up and design sum double balljoint knuckles.

Or adapt the current mustang ones...

Tony Rivera's Pirelli World Challenge TCA class Scion Fr-S
6 Races entered. 5 first place finishes. 1 third place finish (in the rain)
Second in points after skipping three Canadian races.

I guess the FT86 is OK as a race car.

This was last month but check out 24min-34min mark. Last years champ in his CR...sure, he missed a shift, but he stayed behind us the rest of the way

Finally!

Thanks for the video. That was exciting to watch. dang!

Yep, Like the Mazda RX8s and the BMW Z4. Oh, you must mean the 2.4L Civic Si with the K24 engine that I hear so much praise about on this (and other forums).

Ditch the FRS and enjoy your hardcore racing machine then.
