Just pulled the X out of storage - mod time (Rockford, IL)

Feels so good to drive again. Last year I did all of the bolt ons - MHI turbo, IC, TBE, fuel, etc.

This year it's suspension:

Option S401 wheels - matte black
Nitto NT01 - 275/35/18
Ohlins R&T
Swift springs 10k front/12k rear
Hotchkis RSB
Hotchkis endlinks
Whiteline RCK
Corner balancing and alignment

Most of the parts are in and should be installed in a few weeks.

Hope I can connect with some of you guys in the near future!

I'll try and be there. I have to be in California for work the next day, so depart on the 26th. If I can take a later flight I'll be there for sure. I'll likely just spectate, but who knows. Maybe this will push be to get that E85 tune before the 26th too....

I'll get some pics once the install is done. How did the NT01's work out this weekend? What were you running before those and how do they compare?

The NT01's were amazing. They did have a little bit of sidewall rollover when they got really hot. The grip level was great and the tire gave you some audible grumbling when they were starting to let go. And they heat up fast! The last time i went out i just had some Falken ziex tires. Night and day difference. The evo was tearing up everyone else in my HPDE class lol.
