I built my car, I drive my car, I race my car, I've worked countless bugs out of my car... This site is at the top of the heap as far as innnovation goes. Most of us are chasing the ultimate pro touring car. With that said, don't get sucked into always buying the newest and best thing out there if you have something that works. Only you know what your budget and expectations are. Do yourself a favor and sit down and think about you car, budget, and expectations and put it in writing BEFORE you start slinging money around. Frank @ Prodigy Customs is a really good resource for parts and advice.

This is the ultimate site. You guys in here are extremely good at what you do. If I only had half the experience and know how.

I try to step back when I see a new product and like you said not get sucked into buying it because even though it is new it may not be the best or cost efficient for my build. But I like to upgrade in areas like handling, etc.

I guess I should sit down and write out what I want for the car and what I want to get out of the car.

I did send Frank a privite message to chime in on my thread.

Thanks.
