thanks... yeah, my car is more of a track/street car.. its my daily driver, but take it to the track quite often (well, i have taken a small break for the past few months).. but i LOVE the look and function of canards lol... when im done, it will basically be a full on track car (full aero...canards, apr gt300 wing, voltex hood, rear diffuser, undertray), but with a full interior... everyone has their niche', some like the full showcar look, which ive done in the past with my RX7, but this time around, im going track car

lol.. damn you! lmao... well, your a few steps ahead of me and very nice splitter! as for the wheels, the 18x9.5 +22offset... the rear fenders were rolled/pulled, and the rear bumper was shaved, and the bumper bolt relocated..so theres no rubbing whatsoever with 265's..and more than enough room for 275's

I'm sorry I should of spelt it out for you so you understand.

I fear the cost of replacement, which will happen at some time. That hurts, in the wallet to be exact. If it doesn't you aren't going hard enough or you're very lucky.

Now that I have cleared that up you can go back to trolling threads with a can of petrol and matches, it's actually quite entertaining for the rest of us...

Did you read or understand what he wrote? From your response it appears you didn't. He's just stating a simple fact of racing. At some point you are going to wreck or damage your car. If you're worried at all about your expense parts, you shouldn't be racing.

Perhaps you should have...."Aussie English" is sometimes difficult to translate;

You state:
Do i fear going off the track with a genuine voltex or ings kit? Yes it's going to hurt.
Where in this statement does it mention anything about "fearing the cost of replacement?"

If you read my previous comments, you would have realized that my particular rational for using a functional copy was specifically "because" a track incident could lead to significant financial loss with an expensive branded kit; something I do not want to be concerned about from any perspective (financial or otherwise) while on track.

So here is my "can of petrol and matches troll statement for your entertainment"

So while you are worried about tip-toeing around a track in your fancy kit, I'm going to be flying around in my job-destroying, JDM-company-closing, patent-robbing, 3rd-world maufactured, sweat-shop produced knock-off kit straight into you and then a wall at Watkins Glen because I drive "Flat Out"!

Thats the only way to drive on a road course if your not doing that then your wasting your time and money even being there to begin with. The only people taking it to the limit at a track with first party kits are the sponsored cars because its easy to drive wild when you know its all covered no matter what.

The "I Drive Flat Out" is in homage to the legendary video (it's meant to be sarcastic )

hahahahaha... i love that video! lmao

and for those of us who arent sponsored or made of money.. we will never drive 100% on a track, and we do have to fear what could happen! you dont need a very expensive body kit to worry about that... i drive to the track, and i damn well better keep my car on the track so i can drive it home and get to work! i drive about 80% when im at the track, i leave room for errors and whatnot.. just to be on the safe side! im not there to impress anyone, im there to have a great time! and at 80%, im having ablast, but still feel really good that if i make a mistake, i have the power to correct it before things get out of hand!

anyone who drives at 100% with their daily driven cars is either stupid, or has enough money to fix whatever they break! im neither of those! so i leave a little wiggle room on the track! and you know what, my car has made it home safelty after almost 30 track days!

I want to do road coursing for sure as its seems WAAAAAAAAAAAY cooler then dragging just have to find tracks that I can go to and have fun. Thats why i was thinking of getting a hta green for the track days but i think the black can handle it all and will do good on road course especially with the 2.4 backing it

I do my road racing on stock block and the black. Never had any lag issues period and the top end will kill the green. Once you start, you'll get addicted.

I promise ill spin the ball sack off the hta green it would be blowing hot air on my setup in no time but at least ill know i can push it hard and get that puppy spooling instantly. that instant punch in the mouth and gut would be great at getting out those corners LOL.
