The GRM editorial crew is off to do some track testing Friday at our official test track, the Florida International Rally and Motorsports Park in Keystone Heights, and we’ve got some interesting candidates ready to challenge the FIRM’s 10 turns.

It's intercooler installation time!
Are spectators allowed to attend?

I checked with the FIRM and it looks like no charge for spectators, but you'll have to sign a waiver. We usually park in the shade over by the old NASA bus (not that we'd be hard to find, but, you know, just trying to be helpful).
Having "fun" in the garage. Volkswagens are great.

I detect absolutely no sarcasm. None.
In reply to Colin Wood :
You guys must all have air-conditioned shops down there, I don't know how you do it. I did my S52 swap in a gravel driveway in July/August in Oklahoma. But I was 27 and many fewer pounds then.
My BRZ desperately needs washed, but I can't bring myself to get up at 6am on a Saturday/Sunday to beat the current heat wave.
I have a window unit in the shop that knocks the humidity back and keeps temperatures around 80 degrees, Tim has central A/C, and JG has a big fan and open doors. A/C isn't a necessity here, but it sure is nice.
Batteries are charged, camera’s ready, and I’m heading up to bed in a min.
What time are you all starting today?
In reply to gsettle :
We Should all be there by 9 AM
Greetings from the FIRM!
First session out in the GTI completed and now it's time for some tweaks.
Have any questions about our test day?
When is the F-150 Lightning going to put down a lap time?
I'm only half-joking.

Yes it is.

Just did this on my Alltrack about a month ago, except I went with the core support removal method. Either way, it's a super fun job
