figure i might as well post these up here since im around now...

another amazing track weekend! got my first run in blue solo and it was awesome. hung with my georgia rx8 buddies who are just like 1 big dysfunctional family. got plenty of instructor rides and progressed well throughout the weekend. took a little time but turn 2 and 5 i have a good run on now. just need to work on my consistency. ryan brought out his sick time attack evo but it was having water temp issues so no crazy runs.

UPDATE: bad news: i need coilovers. good news: i need coilovers lol.

just came from infiniti, had my head tech do an oil change and a thorough inspection. looks like my plowing issues arent just the weight but my springs are too soft - the control arms are bottoming out on the sway bar. this is what killed my end link last time. the new yokohama tires are stickier and the extra traction is being taken out on the car. luckily levin was awesome enough to help me weigh the car so i have my 4 corner weights. i need to call and do some research with race spring manufacturers. hopefully i can get an idea for what rates i need. ive been debating ordering some adjustable bc coils and looks like theres no more debate. just need to figure out the specs and ill be set. its pay now or wait and hurt the car/wear through tires.

on to the pics...

Looks like fun! thx for sharing.
I like the videos with the instructor, very informative. Never been to a road course but i learned a little just by watching your videos. Thx!

Thanks! I love track cars, so much better looking than show cars IMO.

I agree. Something raw about them.

w0ady 05-06-2010 08:23 PM

^great name.

no prob. as nice as a quality show car is, ive always been an aggressive driver. this just gives me a safer outlet that screwing around on the street. plus once i started, ive become hooked heh. :)

thats the plan. talked about road atlanta with the orlando guys but going to wait for cooler months. might do daytona in november with them though. would like to have the coils for next time out and hopefully the brakes hold up too.

Oh damn, I just noticed your name. That is funny as hell. You are the only other person that I have seen with a name like that. Friend request sent. :happydance:

w0ady 05-07-2010 06:58 PM

lol win. ive been using this name for 10+ years in online gaming, 5 years in the g/z scene and its been my license plate since i moved back to fl 4 years ago. people always ask me about it too but i do get the random black chic @ a gas station who shouts "whats up w0ady!" :D
