Next meet we can see the noise difference between the exhaust noises
Nice! All it took was the trunk or did you have to do the doors and such as well?

Looking for a product a bit more budget friendly. I deff want to check it out, love my srt but sometimes its nice to not "because racecar"

hey guys, does anyone know what the prices are like for servicing an frs? I've heard that the vehicle takes synthetic and i've been quoted around 80 bucks each oil service through the dealer approx. Just wanted to know if anyone actually knows what the dealer charges and how often the car should go in for service. just weighing all the pros and cons before i pull the trigger.

Thanks in advance.

I guess I should have given some info there (heh)

The 1st cars will be on track at 9am (Historic practice/quali)

Myself and the other time attack cars sessions are as follows:
10:10am - 10:25am (practice)
10:55am - 11:15am (Qualifying)
2:55pm - 3:15pm (Run Session)

I will be at the track from 7am - 5ish I'm guessing.

Will be a great day with a LOT of impressive cars out and about!

Saw you do just a few laps at the track today. What happened? And was it someone from your team who put a postcard on my car?

I don't believe I did... I'll ask my buddy.

Unfortunately we broke a rear inner CV joint coming out of T5 this weekend. It was only my 1st flying lap of the 2nd session. Unfortunately that grounded the car for the day. All a part of testing!

Thanks to anyone to came out and stopped by to say hello!

We'll have the car up and running soon!!!

Richard

No one up here tunes our cars via ECUTek other than RallyRocket but when I called them they didn't care for our cars. seems like they only want to deal with turbo boxers or so I thought.

I know a bunch of us are going to get our tuning done at @Drift-Office.

You missed up Bob was at Importfest and was a great source of info
