Anyway, where to start. On Thursday we were back at SP Engineering to finish the tuning on the STI. Things went pretty well and we were able to make a [...]

The test day went well and the car worked as we hoped. Our times [...]

Big thanks to Adan and Mitch for staying up too late too many nights in a row to get the car to this point. Still some more work to do, but we are getting VERY close. Best of all, we are under our weight target!

Kartboy gets us stiff, how bout you? For awesome parts that work, are made in the USA, kick ass, and aren’t rip offs (check out how many other shortshifters look like Kartboy’s), there is no other supplier. Plus Tom is a cool guy, and that’s reason enough.
Kartboy benefits include:
- Made in USA
- Work perfectly
- pour [...]
