Actually I drive the car everyday when I'm in town lol, but as we have all learned to avoid pot holes, puddles are just the same. Thanks!

Are you going to try and do as big of a build to the F as you did to the SC??

I don't doubt that it interferes with some of the air that would previously go to the brakes but still plenty of airflow going through the bumper/wheel liner. The brakes are not likely to ever overheat unless you are hardcore tracking it but even then I say it's still a long shot of it being a problem
You might want to rethink that long shot....



One track weekend at CMP. These brakes aren't all they're cracked up to be. Pun fully intended.

It's about time I see someone with a thick sidewall and a wide tire like me instead of stretched and lowered on a 20 inch rim

Welcome and props for doing a new mo, something new (i.e., CAI). By the way, hope your tires are not directional b/c the rear wheels are on backwards with respect to the spoke design.

Looks like they are, you can barely see the arrow in the pic. Need to flip tires with rims

It's going to depend on the EMS progress really. Have planned some big things though

Just realized, and confirmed with older pics, that the wheels must have been backwards since I bought the car a few months ago :/ lol

The difference in the MPH in the graphs is due to me ending the test earlier during the baselines. Evan was pegging the limiter when he was doing the after pulls..
