So another update:
TE37's Saga installed today with Continental DWS'. The wheels are 18x9 +50, with Rays center caps and black Kics LeggDura Durilium lug nuts. I had the DWS' in 255/40...
Really happy with the results!

I was able to do another Track Attack event last week. I didn't change the wheels/tires and was curious how they would perform. Overall I was satisfied with the Continental DWS', especially as it had rained for the majority of the day. There was only one puddle on the track, at the beginning of the back esses, and I only felt a slight slide twice during the 3 sessions. Nothing traumatic, but I feel that I better understand how the tires will react now. Also, there was no noise from the them being stressed under high speed and cornering :)

A few of the participants:

Also of note- I should be dropping the car off with Fortune Auto in a few weeks, for them to use as test mule for their 500 and 510 Series (https://fortune-auto.com/coilovers/510series/) coilover systems. I'm pretty excited! They'll have the car for about a week/10 days or so and will install and test both series. I'm also hoping to have their electronic damper controller installed to allow me to adjust them from the cabin (https://fortune-auto.com/coilovers/remotedampercontroller/). I'll be sure to upate once it happens...

Hello everyone!
I picked up #1699 on Monday, June 19, 2017 from Colonial Honda in Chester, VA (just outside Richmond) for MSRP! I added a few accessories that I am waiting to arrive: door visors, illuminated door sills, illuminated console, and a car cover. When I picked it up, I had them leave everything wrapped, inside and out. I also didn't have the front plate mounted, even though it is required in VA..

Here are a few photos from the dealership that were texted me by the GM:

And once I'd gotten her home, still wrapped :spaz:

The next day was tint and her first wash:

Also, some photos were to large to upload here, but if you check out my flickr link, https://www.flickr.com/photos/78298715@N05/shares/44S492
you can see them there and in high resolution :thumbsup:

Sorry for the long post and thanks for reading it!

50mm offset looks a lot better that other Socal Rally Red CTR that had to roll his fenders.

fortune auto probably doesn't know about the mess that is the FK8 suspension system...

once lowered below 2"... car won't start. ECU won't allow it.

I'm sure they will be aware of any issues once they have it to work on. Personally, I don't plan on lowering it more than an inch and a half, but more than likely an inch.
I've been in contact with Terry several times since I visited and am patiently waiting for the new shop to become fully functional and I'll post here once that happens

So, on to a few small updates...
I installed Lamin-X yellow fog light covers a few weeks ago:
