FS JIC Magic FLT-2 for ITR (or Civic w/ITR LCA)

I just purchased a EG hatch from a friend and got a set of JIC Magic FLT-2 with the car that I do not need or want. They are for an ITR or a Civic with ITR rear LCAs.

Thanks.....I have compared every car I have driven and had to my ITR and I wanted something again that provide the same type of experience on the track....My evo ended up being faster (500hp) but it always felt like it was every bit of the 3400lb that is was. I can not wait for my first event at Gin...

Me, duh.

It's definitely not Dropspeed.

I am going to purchase another ITR for the sole purpose of racing Sackdz and laying the smack down!

I will most likely show up (87% sure) if everything works out. I am traveling with the family (15 month old), so not sure if everything will be "according to plan"

I will be making an effort to get there.

Car placement for me is a big thing I feel students have to learn. So I use 4 very basic hand signals. A ...
