There's obviously a lot of time left in the car. I think 1:27.xxx is doable for me with the car how it currently is. I'm losing a lot of time in the bowl (although, I think that's where I picked up the most time with the new setup) and the section after the bowl all the way up to the left hander down hill. I'm pretty sure there's at least 1.5 seconds there.

The car itself feels great though. I can't wait to test it out at Chuckwalla. The wing will make a much bigger difference out there.

For the BBK and wheels people. As far as know, there's a number of 17x9s that will fit, which are common and reasonably priced. The only 17x10s that I know of that will fit are the ones from the group buy that Dustin and Mike T. are currently running. Other wheels that will fit in 17x9.5 or 17x10 are likely not offset friendly. If you're willing to go with wheels that are ugly as SIN, but fuctional from a price point, BBK clearance, weight, and overall strength, then NT03+M in 17x9.5 +44. The only con is that they're ugly. Other than that, you're looking at big bucks, which for 17x10s in general are big bucks anyway, unless you're willing to hellarape your fenders...

Anyone in this circle have a 17x9 +40 or 9.5 47 set of CE28s in silver they might want to part with? I don't care if there are a couple knicks in the paint or a small amount of caked on dust. Just don't want bent or curbed ones. I don't care which variation of silver as long as they are silver.

That was a fun day guys.... Thanks to Dustin for the ride in Red 2!

I ran my personal best in T2 (despite the super cold track). I think I could have dipped into the 26's had it been a bit warmer

I'm still losing too much time in the bowl but i'll keep at it!

... NT03s are pretty heavy though. I cant run BBK with my RPF1s but they are 4lbs! lighter per wheel.

Oh, and yes, I really was driving top-down top-off topless the whole day
