Not much new for this year.
I added a few things.
Quaife 3.25 quick rack
Sparco Evo 2 Plus seats
Aluminum Front LCAs
NASCAR COT wing
I'm currently working to fabricate a set of aluminum mounts that will allow me to mount the wing to the rear most portion of the roof via the roof gutters. Should make a big improvement in the car's times.

no pointer cones on the slalom? Good run, I loved it. I would look into positioning the gopro on the roof pointing down for better analysis of you run.

It's not a gopro, just my cellphone attach to my rearview mirror with two rubber bands.

Nice build and some fast driving! I dont know if I missed it, but are you running upgrade sway bars or is the car fairly stock with good tires/wheels? I noticed some good purposeful oversteer in one of the videos, I was like hell yeah!
How competitive are you in your local SMF class?

I am currently running a Progress 22mm rear swaybar. I have a 24mm ASR rear bar to switch to, but it won't clear my exhaust. Truthfully, in hindsight, the Progress 22mm is probably just as stiff as the 24mm ASR bar because the Progress design garnishes more leverage because the endlink attaches farther out on the control arm (it attaches at the shock instead of at the middle of the arm).
The car definitely has a problem with rotation, except the problem is pretty much the opposite of what most complain about on a FWD car, because the problem with this thing is that it rotates too much.
I have recently made some alignment changes that have helped with this a bit.
The car is competitive locally, but there is not much of an SMF class at my local club. Regionally, no. One of the fastest, if not the fastest SMF car in the country is in my region.
And tomorrow I will leave for the DC ProSolo to get my *** handed to me by said SMF car, as well as all of DSP and the PAX monsters of CSP the new SPB bump class.

The only stock parts of the suspension are the front knuckles, shock forks, and rear trailing arms. Every other control arm has been replaced, and there are no more rubber bushings anywhere on the car, everything is poly or spherical.
