That sounds AWESOME! I would love to find something like that around here. I've even debated picking up some of my own cones and finding a large empty parking lot to practice slaloms, but I think the...

Just wanted to follow up on this.

I swapped in my XP12/XP10 combo and Centric rotors for the track. Everything worked fantastic. Having incredible, confidence-inspiring brakes bailed me out of a...

I won't dispute any of the rest of your comments. However, Grand Sports come with wider wheels to accommodate those 325s. 19x12, as opposed to the stock base wheel, which is 19x10. That's a...

I see a screen that goes over the front air vent. How much would this impede air flow? If I get this, I'd use it at the track and I'd be concerned about running hotter with this product installed....
