No it wasn't. It was my Brother In Law's car. We shared the car. To this day whenever he speaks about it he says "ours" because I maintained the car and provided all the consumables for it but he purchased the car. 2008 ACR with a 2010 transmission out of David Pintarics ACR-X after he destroyed it at Road America.

This is me driving it. A really great car!!

Thank you! I appreciate that.

It was the first car I ever went legitimately quick in. After we put Hoosier's on it and corner balanced the car properly with a reasonable ride height I was in the 18's at Summit Main. Other than that, brake pads and the new trans, which we didn't ever use 5th anyway, the car was bone stock. No engine mods whatsoever.

I am only in the 17's so far in my Gen V ACR-E (with my 76 yr old Dad as a passenger :) ) so the GEN IV was hardly off the pace at all with a consumables cost about 1/3 to run the thing.

I'm assuming those are 18" OZ Racing wheels? Did you have to modify the parking brakes to get the rears to fit?

They are and I did. Simple removal. I didn't use a new bracket. I tied up the brake cables and Jim tagged the lever with a fluorescent orange label so that we wouldn't pull it up. lol!! We didn't drive it on the street so we didn't need it.

Interestingly I sprayed the rears black and use them on my GEN V with CCW TS12's on the front.

You'll have to modify the parking brake cable routing to make any 18" rear work. I ordered a kit through Jon B...fairly straightforward install, and retains the parking brake function.
