I drove MidOhio for the first time this past weekend with the NASA OH/IN region.
Man what a fun course, lots of walls made the first session somewhat tense, but I was pretty comfortable from then on.

We ran the pro course, fastest lap for Saturday was 1:45.67 this was with the OEM '97 ITR front lip




On Sunday morning around 10:30, I decided to remove the front lip and see how it's effect on lap times.

As you can see in this picture, removal process is nearly complete...





Lookin' Good!



This simple modification yielded slightly faster lap times, even though the brakes (which haven't been bled since August) were faded as all hell. Best lap 1:45.55.

So should I leave it as is???????

dang, i am so sorry to see that. I'm glad you are ok.

 

Ouch! Hope ur ok!

I'm thinking of removing my front lip.....would you be able to do it for me?

 

Damn, sorry to hear about that. Not trying to pimp my stuff, but if you're interested I've got two front fenders and bumper cover in frost white sitting in my basement.

 

2nd pic looks like a shark about to eat his prey! :chomp:

 

Thank you for the offer, but luckily EFFECT had spare panels from his old teg, so I'll be all fixed for expo (3 days!)

 

Man, that sucks! Hope everything turns out ok

Its a good thing you never paid to have the small one fixed

To Ed for using the ITR for what its made for.

Larkin Who says keep the lip

 

should I install the pass side bent fender and the 95 gsr front end?

 

Yes. If you're going to be the ugliest, you might as well go all the way.
