+1 I have knocked off about 1 sec off my lap times with the Progress RSB.

that is awesome. Looks like it makes as much difference as the quaiffe around a track, wow !

Periodic, I'm in Belleville until sunday evening. I'm on a small vacation since Friday. I'm just going to sandbanks and north beach provincial park and taking advantage of the beautiful weather we are having.

I don't think I would enjoy autocross as much but that what I should have started with. I haven't done one autocross session yet either.

I was thinking

-1.5 camber in front if I can with the stock knuckles.
Will they hold up, so much talk about them being weak ?
-Stiff motor mounts, the engine rocks very much with the stock mounts
-Falken RT-615

What about brake pads ? which are the best for Road Race and daily driving ?
Hawk HPS, ceramic, stockers ??

For the suspension I'd rather keep it stock for now.

Anything else I'm forgetting ?

Don't forget these!

The quaiffe will certainly make a huge difference for you.
although it is perfectly balanced. In rainy weather you have to be careful because it makes you plow under acceleration.
On the dry tarmac it pulls really good out of a corner. It does spin the inside tire a little but it pulls while an open diff car will just light up the inside tire and not go anywhere.

The event was cancelled, not enough deposits paid in time.
Date was aug 15th.

I'll try to join another session sometimes this summer.


BTW I ordered that Heat exchanger you suggested
