This is at Reno-Fernley Raceway. A very fast and technical course. Not sure if wider tires would rub or not, but I have the RB sway bars and springs here that will go on before the next one.

Will be sure to do so. I have been taking my time with the mods so I can get a feel for the car and then a feel for what changes everything I do makes.

This is an awesome track car. I am running it the same I do on the street. So far just stock with 32psi on the factory tires and brakes. No brake fade and easy throttle steer control. This is just too much fun.

Did you have the DSC on / off? Also what gears were you in most of the run? I will get a chance to run my 8 at Watkins Glenn in July and any tips would be appreciated.

I have a base model so no DSC. Most of the track is run in 3rd gear with shifts into 4th on the longer parts.

The white one is also a lotus esprit turbo. It looked like an 80's model where the red was a bit newer.
