3000 miles on the beast. No issues. Next oil change next weekend at 2000 miles. I am driving it a little over 124 miles a day and enjoying every minute of it. I have to be careful jumping on the interstate. The moron in front of me today thought that getting on an interstate with traffic in the 75-80mph range at 45mph was a good idea. I was able to sneak around him quickly, then the rear end stepped out a bit. I am sure the 3 lanes of traffic behind me got one heck of a show. Oops. I was laughing....

Just a few things different I'm closed deck slightly bigger fuel pumps and different turbo kit of course. My car will be on the same dyno/tuner yours was this coming Monday.

Did you ever get your car dialed in?

After lurking for a while, I guess you are right. I don't see anyone else driving their cars like they were built to do. Such a shame and waste of money.

I have been researching ways to stiffen our chassis. I guess folks have never noticed it twisting at this power level. Baffles me.

Try the Soul Function fender brace.

I looked at their stuff. I just don't like the stuff hanging underneath the car like it does. I will not be able to clear anything on the road.

That is also not a wise decision for a street car. I would need to wear a helmet while driving the car on the street. If something happened and I hit my head on the roll bar it would not be good if I didn't have a helmet on. I will probably do a 5 point RPM rollbar. I am looking at all the options.

I have the RPM 6 point - easily converted to 4 point or 5 point as needed just by removing the side bars.
Some things to consider:
Even tho' I have it configured as 4 point for normal driving I have the seat all of the way back and I'm not a large person. 5'9" and 155 lbs.
Another side note is that it further compromises being able to see out of the back window.
It cost about $2,500 and then another $1,795 to have MA-Motorsports install it.
Brian at MA designs custom roll bars per your specs. That, in my opinion, would be the better way to go. He could design it to accommodate your body size and also allow for better visibility out of the rear window < something you would really appreciate for daily driving.

I am also 5'9". I looked at your car when I took mine to MA. I saw the rollbar and was like, nah. I wasn't crazy about it. Getting Brian to make one won't be cheap at all. I have needed to move my seat up 2 clicks. If not, my foot will come off the go pedal when I get on it. I was going to do the install myself If I get one. Have you hit your head yet. LOL

You guys are some damn runts.

I was a marathon runner for 14+ years, and being smallish was an advantage.

Seems I've always liked to go ===FAST===
