    Garage Star NC Shop Car Build

    Hey guys. Some of you guys know that we picked up a 2015 NC Club back in September 2014. I've been building it up slowly and working on some new products for the NC. Here's the progress so far.

    Factory removable hardtop in Jet Black Mica.


    Track day at Thunder Hill


    Kakimoto Exhaust





    Had my A-Pillar wrapped by my friends at Imperial Works


    Willwoods


    Did a track event at Roadster Cup at Streets of Willow over this past weekend. Did a 1.36 on street tires and stock suspension. It's been about 7 years since the last time I drove that track.


    I missed my flight to Hawaii today and my Tein Monosport coilovers came in.


    I'm waiting for my wheels from SSR. They told me it's going to be a 3-4 month wait. I'm planning to have a custom roll bar made in the next month or two. Also seats and harnesses will go in at the same time.

    I like the exhaust but I need to buy a mid pipe so it can be a tad bit louder.

    I'm curious what that exhaust sounds like.
