808_S2k's track build
I've always been a fan of the underdog and like trying out the parts that work rather than the ones that simply look good.
Of course if they look good doing it, then I can't complain
The goal is to stay in "street" class and see how fast I can go!!

Update: The car is finally back on the ground (off of jack stands). I added an APR splitter (
Speed Alliance) and the new JRZ RS Pro 2-way dampers and 255/40/17 NT01's. I just need to get my alignment done and my baby's ready for battle!! See you guys at the track on the 22nd!

2008-12-22
Update: Finally hit the track with the new setup but it was rainy and I got sick... In fact I was so sick that I had to sit out a session because I was so nauseous and had such a bad headache
.
The question everyone has been asking; "How's the splitter??" Well, even at the slow pace I was taking, I could definitely feel the difference the front splitter made. The car was planted and turn-in was awesome!
In regards to the new suspension; Even with the 20k springs, I was able to easily transition the car and the oversteer felt very predictable. I still need to play with my nitrogen pressures on the JRZ's but that will have to wait until next year...

looks good! did you have to roll your fenders with this set-up? what lugs are those they give it a nice overall look
I rolled the front and back and relocated the rear bumper bolt. The lugs are Project Kics
