I am! I built the truck first with full Fox suspension, tailgate cover, mats, steps for myself but she loves it so she drives it.

So now I’m building the FL5! Lol

Black Friday, patiently waiting on the parts forums, and military discount lol

Yes I’ve been dying to go to the track!! I bought a Snell Approved helmet before any mods. Lol

Living only 1.5 hours from Sebring raceway, 2 hours from Homestead raceway and 2 hours from Daytona I’m pretty lucky.

Debating on whether to try a track day next month in this Florida heat or wait a few months till fall time. Hopefully one of the track nights will finally fall on a day I have off sometime soon.

With the FL5 overheating issues, it just seems like a waste of time to go to a 100 degree summer track day.

The car in OEM spec can handle it! Just flush your brake fluid to a DOT 4 spec (Castrol SRF is a great option) and send it! Check out my build thread, I have yet to run into over heating issues.

I'm going to HMS the 24th through PDG. They still have availability.
