-Put on decals for GTS2, fire system, and kill switch
-Install fire system
-Install electric kill switch
- Install right-side window net


So I had plenty to install, not much time and events back to back. Lets get right to the pictures. I did the college autox with Madison Motorsports and had an absolute blast, the car is a bit rough for the Verona lot, but Kyle did catch a few good photos. I also had Justin Mathews, a fellow racer with NASA, try his hand at RWD.

Setup notes:
Bring rear bound down a ton to decrease skipping, soften front up lightly to counteract rear.
Slightly higher starting hot pressures AIM: 34PSI
Noticed significant body roll with high spring rates, I need increased roll resistance. Already at 850/900, but with A6s I may need more, or sway bars.

Onto the pictures:





Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnddd Justin being a bit eager with the throttle in a rwd.
