Default 2012 ISF Track Build - Lots of pics

I picked up a 2012 USB around two months ago. No sun roof, no NAV. The car was pretty much stock except for a Joe Z exhaust. He is the list of mods.

RR Competition Rear 2 Piece Brake Rotors Slotted
RR Competition Front 2 Piece Brake Rotors Slotted
RR Ultimate Steering Response System (USRS)
Carbotech XP10 Pads
RR Air/Oil Separator
RR Engine Oil Cooler Kit
RR Transmission Oil Cooler Kit
Enkei PF-01s in 18" x 9.5" with a +45 offset (square setup)
NT01 275/35/18's
Bride Stradia seats, sliders and mount - Driver & Passenger + base
Removed rear seats
RR ECU Upgrade
PPE Headers (ceramic coated)
JoeZ Exhaust
FIGS MEGA Rear Upper Links GEN2
FIGS MEGA Arms GEN 2
FIGS TRAC Links Gen2
FIGS TOE Links G2
FIGS Front Upper Control Arm Offset Poly Bushing Camber Adjustment
BC ER series Coilovers
GT Spec Rear Brace
GT Spec Front Brace
Sikky Sway Bar
Siebon CF Hood
Lava under hood heat sheild
Wald Rear Spoiler
DCTMS Steering
eBay front lip
Blacked out roof, mirrors, window trim, rear diffuser, antennae, grill and emblem

With a full tank of gas and the spare tire and jack removed, the car weighed 3,572 lbs

The car was a blast to drive. I'll provide more details on that later






















After two 30 minute sessions, this is what the AOS level looked like


December: Supercharger and Penske Coilovers

Impressive list of performance mods. I like how they've all tied together. Looking forward to video of your future track events. This looks to be a very complete list of almost everything that one can have installed or bolted onto an IS F. Will there be any additional mods to decrease the weight a bit? I know there have been members early on with the IS F who've really decreased weight by gutting the car and removing certain components.

The wheel is not the same thickness all around. The pistol grips at 3 and 9 are contoured for your thumb. At 12 it is slightly thicker than stock. The bottom is a lot thicker. RR Racing has it on their web site at a much better price.

Thanks. I don't plan on doing any more weight reduction. I drive to and from the track so I want some luxury. Just came back from road Atlanta and put on 1600 miles.

Very nice performance oriented build. I especially like your Bride seats installation. Do they place you much lower in the car than the stock seats?
