Though a used car, as a machine in it's entirety, it is new:
my evo-dynamics inspired and in combo with myself built TTB car. Virgil did my vinyls, which we are still waiting on whitelines new layout for contingency stickers, but all in all is great. The motor is built by kevin and has last over 1.5 yrs of DD + heavy, heavy track abuse. To prep the car for TTB was simple(for kevin at least, he's done this before ;] ), though a tough choice for me to choose what can be competitive without trying parts out first. Kevin knew exactly what to do and what direction to point me in so I could make the best suited choices to my preferences and his inputs. I have a dual map tune/map switching, proper suspension to the class, weighed, dyno'd- the whole 9 yards. I was beat after putting in my front swaybar(lol, NEVER AGAIN!
) and just not up to it so Kevin changed my cams back to stock to meet class requirements as well as returning the stock BCS unit and re-routing lines properly.(side note, my older, large and hard to find GSC 280 mivec cams are 4 sale). EvoD assisted with finding out how much ballast weights to be added since I came in underweight, and had me ready to go within just a few days and in-time for NASA MSRH. I'll come back after I get a bit more sleep and add link to the "track car" or if there's a "track car/dd thread" with some photos to have a peek at. here's a couple samples

I finally have something to contribute to this thread!
I like my new A Pillar Dual Gauge Pod that actually looks like it belongs.
I also like my new Cobb Shift Knob (blue of course)!

Nothing wrong with my stock clutch, still holding strong at 53k miles, but the opportunity had come up to do more clutch testing for Competition Clutch; I tested their Stage 3 segmented Kelvar on my IX. This one is their Stage 2 full-face organic sprung disc with their new HD Street 3,000 lb. pressure plate which should remain very smooth for DD use.

Besides for some routine annual maintenance before the Texas All-State cruise this coming weekend, I was able able to add a few fun new upgrades!
MR 2-piece front brake rotors:
MR BBS wheels:
All in all, about 20 pounds of rotational mass shaved off!
