Looks awesome!

Is this the real Supra GT4 hood vent? Can I ask where did you buy it?

Do you know if they can also get the GT4 rear wing?

It’s a replica from Triple Seven

Hopefully Triple Seven is working on more GT4 replica parts. That hood vent is the hotness! Can't wait to see it in person.

After 15,000 measurements, five dremel cutting wheels and a garage filled with aluminum dust, the replica GT4 hood vent is now installed!

Damn Dude, really impressive work. It really does look fantastic on your car. Very "road legal" GT4 looking.

Kudos for having the nerve to Dremel your hood. I'm not sure if I could do it myself! ?

I'm waiting for the heat data on his next track day.

My birthday is coming up and I was reminiscing a bit this week about some past track experiences so I dug into the archives to find this gem from 17 years ago. Some things never change, like hard headed Viper and Corvette drivers being rolling road blocks and drag racing each other down the straight while a little 4 cylinder Evo is on their ass the whole time.

The viper driver came over to me after this session and got in my face yelling that I almost hit him and I should "chill out". I just laughed. Good times, good memories...

Enjoy the 240p video. I think the GoPro 1 had just come out but I honestly cannot remember what I used to record this.

Dude, he should have given you a point by long ago! And… how the hell is that almost hitting him ?. Guess I should be kicked off any/every track I’ve ever been on.

I got a chance to ride in @razorlab's car yesterday and I wanted to share my impressions while the memory is still fresh.

He took me out for a ride for 15 minutes or so at Lime Rock Park. It was hot, humid, and nasty out and he had been on the track all day.

Pulling out into Turn 1 the MCS coilovers felt like magic. That was the biggest difference I felt from my car by far, but after a couple laps I started to realize what the aero was doing for the car too. The car feels way more planted and the grip is much higher.

Razorlab is able to push a lot further into the braking zone than I am with the aero/suspension and he can go full throttle for longer than I can. He's a lot better at trail braking, and it was fun to feel the turn-in using a good dose of trail braking. The car feels so stable that the power bump feels welcome. I like how linear the power band feels, and he was able to beat my Stage 1 car by about 15-20 mph on the straight, and still brake in roughly the same area.

Very very fun ride along!
