I am! I built the truck first with full Fox suspension, tailgate cover, mats, steps for myself but she loves it so she drives it.

So now I’m building the FL5! Lol ?

Black Friday, patiently waiting on the parts forums, and military discount lol

Yes I’ve been dying to go to the track!! I bought a Snell Approved helmet before any mods. Lol

Living only 1.5 hours from Sebring raceway, 2 hours from Homestead raceway and 2 hours from Daytona I’m pretty lucky.

Debating on whether to try a track day next month in this Florida heat or wait a few months till fall time. Hopefully one of the track nights will finally fall on a day I have off sometime soon.

With the FL5 overheating issues, it just seems like a waste of time to go to a 100 degree summer track day.

The car in OEM spec can handle it! Just flush your brake fluid to a DOT 4 spec (Castrol SRF is a great option) and send it! Check out my build thread, I have yet to run into over heating issues.

I'm going to HMS the 24th through PDG. They still have availability.

HKS SSQV $300 (used, on the way)
Acuity Shifter $310 (used, on the way)

Crazy deals, should be $989+ $799+ $450+ $479+ $525+ $125=$3,367.00 plus tax
