Yeah no kidding! Everything is identical except for the trunk lid basically since I don't have a carbon one. I am saving up for a cage too. lol.

Thanks Matt

Thanks Joey! not too much longer! I think the first race i'm attending will be April 20th, a NO ET. I may go early for opening day on the 6th, however there's a good chance of getting kicked out for no cage. The event on the 20th is a NO ET day where they don't post your ET and they aren't strict on rules...

I got the injectors back from FIC. #4 was totally jacked and cleaning did not fix it so they hooked me up huge on a replacement. Those guys have great customer service

The car had a strange random misfire at partial throttle/cruise I couldn't get to go away. Once it started to misfire, even if you went WOT it wouldn't change. It was really intermittent...

I made some bolt on mirror block off plates. I used thick lexan and wrapped with carbon fiber vinyl found on eBay. I basically traced the mounting plate of the side mirror for the shape so it was like OEM. The bolts go through the factory mounting spots that the studs on the factory side mirror uses (all stainless hardware of course). Also uses the factory nuts that hold on the side mirror. Bolts are countersunk under the vinyl.

Used for the track of course... Should be able to handle well over 200mph for a standing mile race (I'm attending one in july) With the front bumper block off plates I made and these I think it should do decent Aero wise.

I've never worked with lexan before or wrapped anything with vinyl but I think they turned out alright.











I promise I wasn't trying to copy the angry aero ones... If you want block off's buy them off Angry Aero.
