Yea I dragged my front end twice on that damn corner. That lip is taking a beating for sure!
I'm actually really surprised how much body roll there is in my car, first time I've seen pictures of it in cornering. In comparison between Marc and mine you'd think he was on train tracks. Thinking it may be time to take it off the soft settings and see how she feels next time around, hopefully nothing breaks.
Chau thanks a ton for all those pictures, I'm putting em in an email as we speak to send back to my parents. My dad's gonna love it.

And Marc, where do you get those trophy magnets from?! I think I'm finally a proud owner.

Thought I would share a quote for you guys as well...

I think Team Mikita had an excellent Philli debut! Please don't tell your friends how much this old guy enjoyed kicking their butts!

I actually have my coils set on close to the softest setting. the fronts are 3-5 clicks from full soft and the rears are 8-10 clicks from full soft. There is so much adjustment on them its almost too confusing, thats why I just focus on adjusting the driver and leave the settings alone.

YOu can pickup your magnet at the next event. Just tell them your name and class and they should hook you up.

Marc, I ordered an naca duct with a 3 inch outlet and similar hose to yours. We'll see how it works out.
