First impressions
New to the frs and finally got my first drive in the car this weekend at Putnam park. Got the car a few months ago and went straight to work starting with the roll cage. Happy to learn all the work was worth it this car is a blast to drive! Had abs issues but hoping to get that sorted before next weekend for a 3 day event at ncm then first nasa race at mid-Ohio.
I originally was planning to run in ptd but now a little unsure as points seem to be adding up quick and the car is also 200lbs under weight. After driving it I am struggling with the idea of adding that much weight to it. New to nasa do any of you that run in the class have any thoughts on this? Lastly I want to to say thank you to the guys at counter space garage. Having most of my experience with German cars with my other track car being an e36 I was really struggling with the vast array of parts available for these cars. Found 2 websites that sold large amount of prts for the frs. 1 would never answer the phone or return phone calls while csg was the exact opposite they were extremely helpful. Long story short accidentally got mixed up and placed my first large order of parts from the place that does not answer the phone or return phone calls NEVER ONCE! Even after there was a problem with the order. They emailed me to tell me they made a mistake and that they were too busy to return phone calls! David at csg not only promptly got me out the remaining parts I needed but he also followed up to insure I recieved everything in time. He then went over and beyond to contact me while I was at the track to see how the car was working and offer advice. These guys are top notch in my book! I want to take the time to let everyone know how helpful they are as I'm sure most of you already know. |
