Congrats! Apparently there are more sets out there than I thought.
Looking forward to having them on track but not looking forward to driving it on the street.
Car already rides like crap with the penskes. Guess that's the price I pay to keep up with the miatas.
Will have to start wearing a mouth piece when I drive...
Hey Edson, looking forward to it!
Hopefully I won't be swamped that day since it's a school night.
I'm sure Justin (MisterEun) will remind me. He's the ATL coordinator.
Where are you staying? You got family in Alpharetta right?
I'll be staying on Windward Parkway....those T demand parts are so nice! I was thinking a few months back I'd be trading in the RCF on a GTS so my build was coming to an end, but building our new house has gotten in the way for now......after seeing your whip in a few weeks I might have to rethink that LOL. I truly love the RCF, so she's going to be around for a little while longer. Thinking of ordering a new set of shoes...not selling Volks. I'll be in touch soon!
Got this today. Haven't driven car after install. Wonder if I can feel a difference on the street?
True test will be week after next at the track. Although by then I'll have the Tom's braces installed too so I won't be able to tell if the bar itself made any difference.
Starting post #226 is my oil analysis conversation with Daniel that use to work at Tribologik (the place that tested the oil).
Royal purple is failing me...
Goodies showed up today! Chassis stiffening braces. Thanks Lou!
You are welcome sir

Well...was suppose to be a good day installing goodies & but found some not so good news.
The Tom's braces install was cake. Will give driving feed back next week.
2 pics are the front brace & center brace. Forgot to take pic of the 3 rear braces.
Changed the tranny fluid, differential gear oil & the tvd diff's fluids.
Tranny fluid was sorta "used" looking. Not bright red like new but had a tinge of brown color. Didn't noticed much solid debris. It was time though. Glad to get all the break-in stuff out. Put back Toyota WS atf.
The main diff's gear oil was terrible. It had so much debris in it, a solid chunk of sludge came out attached to the drain plug. No good. I'll be changing that gear oil again real soon to flush out more of that sledge. Put in Redline 75W85.
The TVD fluid looked brand new when it came out. Didn't see any metal flakes. It got refilled with WS atf also.
while I was under the car, found a cracked weld in my meisterschaft Ti exhaust. Yeah...not happy.
Was wondering what's up since I noticed my exhaust note changed a bit recently.
Thats the trade off having super stiff Ti. It doesn't give and cracks easy. Will have to find someone who can weld Ti.
Also tried a 285/30 tire on my advan +35 rims to check clearance. No go. Scrubs the fender liners at full lock. Gotta stick with 275 at my current ride height of 26".
