I hear its more of a challenging track just because of the fast long sweepers, so you can really get a feel for the cars limit. I have never been.

I have a track that is sort of like that near me as well. Its called "THE FIRM" International Rally School, they recently started track day on a private track and they do a lot of auto-x there as well. Doesnt look as fun as that track, but its cheap and close, so it works!

Damn Nice - so is the Suja 1 the kit to go to now for cable to hydro?

Any of you have experience withe the Skunk2 camber adjustment kits (F&R)? I reading around and see that they happen to be legal in SCCA classing, but wonder if they have any issues. How are the rear LCA's?

I've need to replace my LCS'a, but think I may upgrade as most LCS'a I find are not the Si with the mounting for the sway

Either Hush Performance or Suja1 I think are the best options for the full hydro conversion. Its wort every penny too, the car shifts incredibly well.

Ive used the S2 upper control arms in the past. I didnt find anything necessarily wrong with them, just keep an eye on the adjustment bolts and use a thread locker once you make your final alignment. Make sure to check out Kiwi's stuff too..

Couple of pics I found of my car from this weekend at ILDS Winterfest 2013. Was a great show, over 600+ cars and a great venue!

RSzero- I dont have experience with the skunk 2 lower control arms however some have mentioned bushing failure on these and the blox pieces.

I did see the hardrace on jhpusa have removable bushings via allen screw.

Presidential- Car is looking good.
