It's mostly going to be just against myself and the clock. Open track days, track rentals, and maybe some NASA TT events if I get bored. I live in Austin so the local track is COTA but i'll make it out to Harris Hill Road, MSR Cresson, MSR Houston, Tx World Speedway, and maybe Tx Motor speedway if they do anymore night events!
I cut the rear bumper today. I have been debating it but it should help stop the parachute effect the stock bumper has. I can always get a new oem one painted too so I just did it.

Great lookin build. Next time I'm in Austin I will have to hit you up for a ride. lol That is a really nice looking PPF; is there any advantages to the one you made over stock?

With the RX-8 diff the PPF needs to be slotted to use the stock drive shaft. They are prone to cracking once you do that and with 3x the stock power i'm sure it would flex a good amount. The fabricated one is the right length, much stronger, and stiffer.
