Here’s the right rear bye-bye parking brake. I saw the thread about adding a Willwood but it’s a track car I’m not gonna need it.

Right rear had better lighting.

Without the handbrake how are you going to 2fast2furious yourself around the track in full drift mode?

The fat lady is warming up…. A box full of carbon fiber showed up today.

Turn off rev match and downshift aggressively... I know it sad but I've never even done a burnout in this car... from what I can gather you want to keep traction.

I hate brake lines... my problem child last night was the right front.

Actual weight of HP wheels vs Apex Forged VS-5rs. Both are 19x11 apex is square and I weighed a rear wheel from the HP set. Tires are Falken Advan RT660 less than 100 miles on the tires on the HP set used only for autocross, never driven to and from.

Handling Package rear wheel 19x11 / RT660 315/30/19 - 64.6lbs
Apex VS-5rs wheel 19x11 ET-52 / RT660 315/30/19 - 54.6lbs

The Matte PPF that I got isn't very matte. Looks more like semi-gloss. The parts maybe going on glossy... Has anyone used a good matte PPF? Any suggestions?

Alignment is done and CF is in the works.

Xpel stealth?

Xpel stealth is good stuff, I don’t have any experience with the 3M matte. It doesn’t quite look like dry carbon in my opinion (if that’s what you’re going for) but it would get you close.

Thank you for the advice. I’m going to see if I can get along with it glossy but we’ll see.

As soon as the temp got above 40F today I tossed on some tires and consumed a half tank. Nothing above half throttle breaking in the cams and OPGs. Very happy with the throttle response, torque curve, and feel of the powerband. The brakes are amazing, peddle feel is extremely firm, and no sound from the pads without tension clips. Peddle feel from another MFG’s braided lines/stock calipers vs AP racing radical calipers 3.12 Ferodo pads, and Spiegler lines is night and day.

Well, I’m back home and I’m back at it! I had a box show up yesterday, Mishimoto cross brace. 3.9lb as compared to the stock brace at 7.6lb.
