next episode, you're swapping the cossie 2.5 into your FiST?
One of those 300 WHP GRC Lights spec, Mountune built/supplied NA 2.4 liter Duratecs would be a cool swap into one of our rides, but nowhere near even close to street legal, or able to pass most state inspections. [:(] (Besides costing as much as TWO used FiSTs!)

My best run today, 2nd in class by .4sec
looks like a fun area! my main comment is the U turn. you left tons of time out there on that. you could easily have put a full car inside of you, hug those cones!

i tried, it was real slick over there i went tighter in a few times and lost too much speed, the tighter line didnt offset it enough

im going to tke a bit of camber out of the car before states, maybe back down to 2.8 or 2.7, and try to get the koni yellows in the rear at least

you can take the corner the exact same way with the exact same exit speed and everything, just initiate it sooner so you are only inches away from those cones instead of car lengths!

I've been looking at Eibach Springs but heard some positive and some negative comments, there seems to be some feeling that at least in the rear with or without these springs the car is greatly improved with the Yellows.

Probably my very next mod, even before the ST200 air box setup, or seats/steering wheel.

Will get the rears only at first, hoping that Ground Control FINALLY makes up their minds to develop a coil over conversion kit for the front Koni Yellows some time within the next year (but I am not holding my breath since this car is 'dead' as of next year in North America :( ).

IF they have no plans for the above, I will just get some Swift Spec R springs, throw them on the front Konis, and the back, and be DONE with the suspension, at least until someone possibly releases a REAL TRUE affordable individual 3 way adjustable coil over system for this car. ;)
