Default My ISF little brother lol

So really got the track bug last year and spent the winter upgrading my ISF with new rotors, pads, stainless brake lines, and a torsen LSD. So it only makes sense that I buy this for the track right?

lol This will be more of my AutoX car. I really missed banging gears manually!

Congrats

Now you just need to find a reputable shop that specializes in upgrades/tuning for that platform

Maybe one of our CL vendors can make a recommendation

Well its lacking power basically a hardtop miata. I want to keep it stock for now until warranty expires so when I track it if something breaks I can get it fixed for free. Now it came with TRD muffler and I ordered SuperTek Intake Pipe & Filter for now. I already saw a nice Vortech Supercharger kit used on the FT86 forums so tempted lol The parts for these things are so cheap compared to the ISF. Brand new Vortech Kit 5500 used 3200. 100 rhwp bump.

Congrats on the new ride! But before you start tracking or working on Jr here...how about some ISF/RCF rematches? 😂😂😂😂😆😆😆😆😆 I'm a huge fan of those videos! Both cars are amazing! More camera angles shot like @ 2:18. Your ISF looks and sounds so menacing at that angle. I would like to see The RCF in the same angle. Here's the video I'm referring to...
