Welcome Gkay.5

Very nice to meet you last weekend! Keep pushing on this car, they really have potential. Get the power flex bushings and RCAs next. Also, the rigid collars. You'll really like how flat and more responsive the car is with these mods. Also be sure to turn off traction control before you run. Cheers!

Hello and welcome friendo!

Hope to catch you at a local event. Also I would HIGHLY encourage that you pop by MSR Houston to chat with the guys at the main shop and pick their brains. They built the GK that Riley Salyer drove and took the 2020 SCCA Runoff Championship in B-Spec at Road America.

The 6 speed Mt in these cars are a total hoot. I honestly feel sorry for those with the CVT as there;s so much more character that's revealed with this car with the 6MT
I'm only a fraction of the way thru the mods list that many others have on this site. These cars are the last of their breed.
No longer will you be able to find small/cheap MT vehicles with the fan base and aftermarket support these car have.
