From last weekends SCCA National Championship Runoffs; the car is now for sale as I'm looking to move to a different class.

Wow, the corkscrew really compresses your suspension there. What's your suspension setup?

Yep, that pic is taken as the car lands and is turning right, so it is normal to have the suspension fully compressed there. I'm on fatcatmotorsports (FCM) coilovers. They do have shorter shock bodies, so the car does go lower than possible with stock suspension. Actually it looks like Shaikh got the shock body length just right for maximum travel without hitting anything

Nice. I've heard great things about Shaikh's stuff. Probably going to have him make me a custom setup with my spare Bilstein HDs I have lying around. I'm on Pss9's now and honestly they're way too soft.

Your car looks great though!

Yeah 17x9's for the wheels. Upgrades to the car are few but affective.

RPF1 wheels, NT01 tires, porterfield race pads, RB midpipe (no resonators), and as aggressive of a setup you could do camber wise with the stock suspension.

No sponsors, no flames, just a vinyl 8 on the back windows At Sebring in January 2014. Oh and an angry bee under the license plate:

I bought a car for a reason... to have fun and drive it. The night before autocross I had some fun at a construction site as you can see, lol. Stock everything except the wheels/tires of course. I'm tempted to buy some suspension for cheap after yesterdays autocross. I found what driving a aggressive in this car can do, lol. And suspension will make this even more fun to drive at its limits.
