i bent two of the E88's. Im very surprised how soft they are.

the front wheel is not so bad. but the rear wheel hit as curb and eventually lost air at the end of the day and caused me to drive a full stage flat.

i assume i can buy replacement lips??

tcsracing1

yeah, i remeber now... doh!

it was a 90 degree turn with gravel everywhere..... so i cut close to the curb where there was no gravel but pinched my wheel in the process... stupid move on my behalf and i still feel really bad about hurting my new pretty wheels..... especially when i get the repair bill.....

This year the Targa is going to be incredible. Dood luck to all the racers!

FYI: 2010 will see Kia Canada continuing to Drive Change by entering the Motorsports arena. Kia has a spicy red Forte Koup SX in the 2010 Targa Newfoundland. The Forte Koup Team Wishful Thinking is hoping to raise $100,000 for the Children's Wish Foundation.

Check out kiacanada(dot)ca/targa and on on twitter (at)kiadrivechange or Kia Canada on Facebook.

Details on how to make a donation to the Children's Wish Foundation, and the Forte Koup SX can be found at kiacanada(dot)ca/targa.

Thanks!

Hey Tom!

Nice air.

Carrera GT

Holy crap that's some hang time ... the fronts have drooped already ... Jordan would be impressed! ... and wet roads (well, that sort of goes without saying for Canadia ...)

Condor Man

That's the best when you get air and the rear wheels just spin off their head!!

It's a cracking feeling!!

Congrats on your result!

Thats one serious launch! Nothing quite like a flying Porsche... Love it TCS.... Best of luck with your event this year....

Folks....this thread is originally from last year. The 2010 race is underway and won't be complete for a few days.

I thought Tom wasn't going to wear the front lip

Hey, Don't confuse us with facts!

Good catch. Hope you are well. Maybe saw you in Grass Valley. So far away. I will posrt a pic. I flew over it last week. It looks even more out of the way from 30,000 feet.

actually, that is NJ-GT's old CUP splitter...... it is still going strong!

it finally had a tear in it so i trimed it with a grinding wheel for the targa race!

this jump was super smooth all four times i hit it..... very surprising that a lowered RS can take it with ease.
