Hello all,

Just picked up a 1998 Formula that I will be prepping for ESP class in SCCA Autocross. It's Blurple, but I don't care too much about my cars look (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I have some other things to take care of first, but wheels (17x9 or 10+) and suspension should come soon. I plan on Koni yellows and GC coilovers.

Lots of winter upgrades happened.

Installed TSP 1 7/8" Longtubes and a 3" Off Road Y-Pipe. Currently still using the stock exhaust from the I-Pipe back, but plan to dump at the axle. Hopefully later this year.

Got the Strano 35mm hollow bar, ended up being 5# lighter than the 32mm solid bar I had been running, and should be much stiffer. Also took some weight out buy pulling the A/C compressor/lines, radio/speakers, and air pump box. Was about 50# total.

Last but not least, I picked up Dave Ogburn's CCWs. They are 17x12 (he also gave me the 11" outers) with 335s on the front, and 315s on the rear. Can't wait to try these steam rollers out at the College Station Annex for the Texas Tour (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
