How does it feel with the exhaust on the car? Just sound or can you feel a Ho difference also?

I'd have to dyno it again at EQ to see the HP difference since it will be to small for me to feel. Though I can say that the powerband is smoother

CorteX Racing has now completed its full line of FRS suspension components. (Not all parts are posted on the website yet, but they are forsale!)

Front and Rear Strut Bar
Front Control Arms:
Scion FR-S Front lower control arm Subaru BRZ Front lower control armsCorteX Racing

Our line is shutting everything down on the market right now. Our FRS was at SEMA with the components installed as well as the Fatlace FRS. Fatlace was highly interested in the parts so a week before SEMA a couple of our guys shot out to the paddock and installed a set of these control arms.

Ordered a HKS oil cooler kit and some oil temp and pressure gauges. I plan on doing a NASA HPDE track day in early Feb out at Infineon. Hopefully I'll get some good footage to learn from.

So my weekend project was installing the HKS oil cooler kit onto the 86 in preparation for my track day in early Feb. The kit didnt come with any mounts/brackets, to my surprise, so I had to fab up some. The instructions say to install it in front of the passenger wheel behind the fog light area.. Without custom mounts, that should have come with the kit, I found no way of this being possible. So I went to Home Depot and bought a few different types of brackets to try to get something to work. .. Decided to mount in from of the radiator and branched off the existing AC condenser brackets. Magically the brackets I got from HD sat at the perfect position to mount the cooler core. I was shocked. So I ground some metal and cut the brackets and walla! It sat perfect. Painted the mounts black to color match/rust protectant. Mounted it up, ran the hoses and all I have to do now is change the oil. I'm pretty happy with how it came out. Lmk what you think.
