We're going to be developing a brake ducting kit that will be very subtle and low key, force air to the brakes from the bumper cover. is this something you guys would be interested in? We will also be developing some rear multi-link, but there is plenty of that on the market already

The roadster is getting another bucket, a harness bar and some willans harnesses. Stance is sending us some coil-overs for it and we've mounted the Enkei RPF-1's on from the S14. The 305's might not clear in the rear but we're going to try and make it happen!

We've built a custom intake and exhaust for it so far, it is obnoxiously loud, maybe going to put a muffler on it. With pulstar plugs and a BPInitiatives flow stack the car is currently making 250whp. Some more tuning and we expect to be around 265whp for the begging of the season with the roadster.





As for the race car the new wheels came in for it, want to talk about bling? We're just doing typical race car prep, going over everything, redoing **** that's worn out or broken, tuning the motor for more jam etc. Some of the race car stuff is secretive so it's not all that exciting to be posting it up on the internet. Also have to paint it, thinking Audi RS4 red this year!



Our first race is in June, but we'll be testing a lot with the race car before then, and hitting lapping days with the roadster as much as possible, lets get a lapping day schedule out and see who's going where when!

That break ducting sounds cool. Look forward to seeing that. My breaks got pretty hot on a lapping day last year.

I was thinking of a way to widen the rear to fit some extra wide rubber like maybe 345's or something but without cheap looking bolt on kits that cost too much. Maybe get some custom metal rolled and spot welded in. That's a longer term project though.

That Harness bar also sounds good. I want to see that as well.

(SGSash) depending on the wheel offset and the amount your planing to drop the car 305 will fit. but your most likely gonna have to roll the fenders. i was gonna go that route (in the rear 19X12 305/25/19) but its too much headache, and insted i went with 285/30/20.

Say NOOOOOO to megan...I heard alot of terrible stories from Megan users.
I suggest getting Brembo or stoptech....Bottom line is how much you willing to spend and what application you looking for.

Don't listen to the "label" ******. You think Megan Racing is making these in their warehouse? No, only a handful of companies can produce these types of parts and their all made by the same people.

Example ("Stage 2" 1 Piece Rotors):

EBC Ultimax Black Dash Series
Stoptech Sportslotted Series
R1Concepts (EBAY) Premium Drill and/or Slotted
Rotora Slotted Performance Rotors

So whats the difference between these rotors other than being slotted or drilled? There isn't. They are all made from the same Centric Premium Blank Rotor and are drilled or slotted somewhere else by the company who purchases them. Centric doesn't even make these to begin with, they have some factory overseas where they get it from. If company isn't dealing with Centric, they're probably just dealing straight with the factory producing them. Same goes with Brake pads, springs, or just just about any other part. It's just a matter of figuring out who REALLY makes the pieces and using that knowledge to save yourself tons of money.

You could go to Canadian Tire and buy a blank rotor with some no name company's logo on the box and guess what? They're most likely are stamped on the edge with the brembo letters.

just cause they come from the same factory doesn't mean the quality is on par...
