Those videos are helpful reminders that our cars are aging and maintenance gives us the opportunity to upgrade
Regarding the Koni coilovers, are you able to share info on the rear top hats? I would love to get an idea on how you all are able to get so much travel on them!

KONI COILOVER supporting bits still very much in development, won't have final specs until sometime in the Spring of 2023.

NC Shock Tower Brace!
Working on this for a while, getting close to production specs! Tubular honeycomb aluminum construction for ultra light weight and yet ultra stiff. This "X" design is ultra effective and has proven very popular in our ND version. See our ND version on the website for a lot more detail, this is pretty similar in construction and design yet made from scratch to fit the NC.

Re: Budget Street/Autocross/Track 2.5 NC Project!
Had somebody ask me what the factory means by 'honeycomb' here. They don't mean beehive octagons but they do mean internal walls that make internal cells. We cut one of the early prototypes in half so folks can see the structure. Pretty much EVERY other choice in aluminum tube on the market is just empty tube, not internally braced with the walls you see here that help make it much stronger than other choices while also allowing us to keep it light.

None of our NC test cars have the sound tube, but report from a customer with NC2 with sound tube in the intake is that this brace was able to be installed while retaining the sound tube:

Re: Budget Street/Autocross/Track 2.5 NC Project!
Getting our Budget Street NC Project converted for track use at Sonoma Raceway. That means street Porterfield R4-S pads come off and R4 pads go one. One of the joys of using those Porferfield pads is that you can mix the street and midrange (R4-1) and full track R4 on the same rotor without need to clean rotors or even bed them seriously. I drove home from the shop with the R4 and not a peep from them though I know that will change once we get some track heat in them.

Three Days of Sonoma Raceway Fun! Super proud of the entire Good-Win Racing Team. We gave hot lap rides to as many customers as we could, about 30 in total. Got to track test some fun new bits along the way. And we all caught up with friends that span decades in this community. Thanks to all for the good times! www.good-win-racing.com

Re: Budget Street/Autocross/Track 2.5 NC Project!
First time on track with our new coilovers and they were amazing. Still a pretty 'soft' setup for serious track fun but advantages of the longest travel NC coilovers included that we could cut all curbs and the car didn't care because most of the time we didn't get much into the bumpstops. By the end of Saturday I had the car under doing laps under 2 minutes (when traffic permitted) with passengers.
