EX - 5sp - AEM CAI, DC Header, DC TCS Exhaust
205/50/15 Potenza S0-3's on Kosei K-1's
Ran 17.220 @ 82mph my first time out , high humidity, traction was a real bear (2.5s 60'), my spark plugs were also on the way out at the time...

I was disappointed until I remembered I built my car to handle, not go fast in a straight line

That was my first and last time at the track with this car, it won't pass tech because my battery is in the trunk without a kill switch on the rear bumper (IHRA Regulations)

i have spent about $3500 so far... but none for going fast. I'm sure a turbo D17 with a gutted interior, 15" azenis tires and some stiff shocks/springs would hit low 13's in the 1/4
