I've switched over to run in STF for the NCAC. Would anyone happen to have a CAI and/or front sway I could use for the NCAC? I’m in STF now and figured if I could use another air intake and sway I might as well take advantage of it. I'd like to rent or if you want to sell I'll take it off your hands. To late to order anything on line much less do research....

Just HS allowable stuff. Right now the biggest changes are the Speed3 exhaust, set of Bilsteins and a corksport rear sway bar. Just recently replaced the clutch and control arms, but those are stock. Other than that, not much else I can do. I have the lightweight wheels from Brice, but STF would allow me to run these nice lightweight Kosei's I bought from Cash and have a 7" wide wheel. I figure a front sway and CAI intake wouldn't be that much money and I can reuse my current rs3's for part of next year. Really don't want new springs since this is the daily driver as well and I like the way the car handles right now.

Ryan, if you'll run some events next year I'll pull the trigger :twisted:

Just for the record, your car drives incredibly different with the Bilsteins & auto-x tires than it did with stock parts. Definitely a fan of the Hankooks (never driven them before) and I was really impressed with the grip they had, especially under braking.

thanks again Rodney & nice driving!
