Been driving the car here and there. Have not had a ton of time to spend with her. I went and did something today though. Just a small upgrade.

If Emilio had a lick of business sense, he'd rebadge the CS as "Tecnas."

Allegedly this car is going to be on a race track in a few short weeks.

It's also supposed to be sporting some hot new suspension from 949.


Good times...we'll be having them

Which track and when? I’d love to come out and see how slow I am compared to you guys.

Yeah this didn't happen. I got distracted by some other things the weeks beforehand that took the wind out of getting on track then.

The Ace's have been pretty nice for the little bit I have driven on them. Overall I am happy with the purchase. I can get in and out of my driveway easily without scraping and take the local on/off ramps just as fast as with my race's.

Besides installing the Ace's I was busy installing a different turbo. The EFR 6258 I have had sitting on a work bench finally got a manifold built for it and installed.

BFW spoiler was removed to install a GTC-200 wing.

I also purchased some Feal 442s. These will go on next year so I can run Grid.life and Global Time Attack in the street mod classes.
