I didn't want to move my wiring loom from the strut tower so this stuff protects it enough without ceramic coating. I will be coating mine once I get the spec right.

Time for an update and boy do I have a lot.

Well I wanted to make sure that suspension, drivetrain and brake wise my car was set up for the extra power. I had stance usa rebuild my coilovers with 16k springs this time. My alignment tabs were also all pushed back so I had them reinforced and braced.

I also ended up getting all Powerflex usa race bushings.

I also did some cutting in the car, I cut the trunk belly out. The trunk had about half the spot welds broke anyway so I just cut it all off. It's not like I can use the trunk anyway with the chassis mounted spoiler. The down side to doing that is that I'm in every race class (limited, modified) in time attack which puts me up against 5-700whp cars..... Oh well I still plan on running nasa as well.

I had a very very eventful weekend recently but I can't share until I find out what this shop will do but for those of you not on my Facebook or Instagram my car had a wheel bearing failure on the way to atl that was not my fault....

Oh I forgot to mention I'm going wide fenders and flares. Running a spacers to clear the front brakes so I might as well much the extra width in the rear as well

Nice meeting you this weekend. You find some OEM hubs to swap on?

Can't ask for better service then that when things like this happens. I'll hopefully be on track this weekend.

Well while attending a track day at Gingerman Raceway with 3 Balls racing i wound up in the middle of a mustang battle. Well It was a fun two laps. The red mustang was pitted next to us and was on continental slicks, i'm unsure if it was an actual SVT though. I don't think it was but don't quote me. Sadly right before the video cut out i actually blew up my slave cylinder so this was the last two laps of my day. Great track day, great organization, and great first shake down. You can also see the smoke from my worn valve stem seals that will be replaced this week. Oh I forgot to mention this is my first time trying to make a cool track video so let me know what you think. Well enjoy! For mods that are on the car please go to my website which is http://www.no-drift.com
