    NARRA Daytona - October 2011 - Video Footage 2009 ACR

    Thanks for the kind words!!!!! That trip to the wall happened on day 3 .... I was pushing my braking point later and later as I tried to improve lap times and just went in too hot. As the spin was happening, I was like ... Crap, really? I can't believe it ... And then the car stopped with the...

    NARRA Daytona - October 2011 - Video Footage 2009 ACR

    Thanks for the comments Eric!!!! I put the video together primarily to show family and friends what the weekend was about ... non racers can get bored prety quick with on track footage - so I tried to keep it entertaining and show 'action'. I am running a full 'track' alignment done by PST...

    NARRA Daytona - October 2011 - Video Footage 2009 ACR

    Radio install in an ACR ********?

    I bought a ******** as it was the color / price I wanted, but I really wanted a 'standard' ACR. I ended up buying rear carpet from a friend who had a wreck converted to a race car as well as his stereo, amp and speakers. The carpet made a HUGE difference in road noise (FYI). The wiring for...

    Are 06 and 08 seats the same?

    I had an 04 and now an 09 and have both drivers seats out to install seat lowering kits. They are GENERALLY the same, but the 09 seat has some additional wiring (associated with the airbag sensors I think) so I needed to drill a few holes - other than that, they were identical. Hope that...

    2009 ACR set up question

    Got a 09 ACR. I will be running 18" Hoosier VRLs on forgeline rims for track use. I will adjust the compression and rebound per manual recco and may lower the car for the track too. I will not adjust Aero per lots of suggestions. Question is should I lower the front 1/2" more than back to...

    2009 ACR and Splitter modification question

    Got under the car to cut the splitter back a bit and it is not clear on just how much to take. Attached is the close up picture. The trouble is that the splitter is about 3/4" away from the frame/slot so I'm not sure how much to take. Anyone that has cut it back ... do you happen to have a...

    2009 ACR and Splitter modification question

    Have a new 2009 ACR (YEA!!!!!). I trailer the car to events and want to use the frame slots with R hooks to secure the car to the trailer. The rear slots are easily accessible - no problem. The front slots (normally accessible on the car) are partially blocked by my new $5000+ carbon fiber...

    Enough about PartsRack already!

    Enough about PartsRack Already! Is anyone else sick to death about all the positive spam out there on JonB and PartsRack? Sure, I have used them 7 times over the last year and will continue to do so. Yes, they have quoted me lower prices than ordering straight from the manufacturer on 2...
