    Found Old Photo of 818R

    I was just going through some old photos, I found this picture I took of an 818 before I even knew what one was! This was Dec 3 2016 and I was at Thunderhill for a 25 hour on the RA motorsports crew, helping with a pair of miatas. I was walking down the grid taking photos of cars I thought looked cool, I guess.

    Very cool! That 818 was also featured in an issue of GRM in 2017.

    Is that just roll from the turn or did the spring pop out of the perch. I know the factory note about securing the sitting to the hat came about from some experiences with springs popping out.

    I would say the they need to stiffen up some suspension and play with ride height.
