Its a Borg Warner EFR 6758.  Its T25 d so I couldn't just bolt it up on an e6 though.

Finally got the front splitter done.  After our first local of the year, the turbo comes on so quick, it kept spinning the tires in the corner and throwing me sideways.  I figured if I got the splitter done, I could turn the rear wing back up so I could get more traction.  It definitely worked because I didn't have any issues with it tossing me sideways, just spinning one tire like an open differential car.  Think its time to retire the old Detroit TruTrac and replace it with a Detroit Locker.

because they don't last very long.  Less than a year.  Learned this with my burgundy car, and it never picked a rear wheel up like this car.  Quite a few national winning guys run the Detroit locker, so it must work fine for them.  If one is off the ground, what better way to keep it moving forward than to lock them together.  I wouldn't go as far as a spool which is the cheap way out though because it never unlocks

fordguy545, awesome runs at the Dome last weekend. I love your car (of course). I hope my fellow DET Region Folks were good hosts for you. (I haven't run AutoCross with them, but many of the same people do Ice Runs, RallyCross, and PAX Track Events....Those I have done.)

Yeah, it was a really good event.  Been up there a couple other times.  Usually ESP really gives me a run for my money, but I don't know if I just got that much faster since last year, or if none of them were driving to their limit or what.  I really didn't expect to have raw times 3 seconds ahead of anybody else.  Unfortunately I hit the same cone the last two runs, and the last run would've been enough to get my first index/FTD.  Was also the first time I got to use my new gopro.  This was my third run.

And 3 pics from the event.

Those actually aren't the Bogarts.  The slicks on the Bogarts and I am not getting along.  I just plain cannot get them to stick on anything.  All the car wants to do is drift with them on it.  The wheels in the photo's are actually the SC replica wheels that I cut in half and widened 2 inches to a 17x12.  The car has 335/35/17 on all four corners now.
