__First track day in my FR-S__

[philstar]

i cant stop staring at your car!!!!! I love it!

[F3dzo]

Hey how much did you pay for a track day like that? In south Florida it's mostly with a company that rents the track down in homestead FL.

[Rampage]

But but but this car is soooo slow. It takes over 6 seconds to go from 0-60 mph!

/sarcasm

No roll bar in that s2000? Did not think there were any tracks that did not require them in non fixed top cars. Surely they do not consider those factory style bars as real rollover protection?

Great videos! Were you using 2 different cameras? iPhone and GoPro? How did you have them mounted?

This is honestly my favorite FRS that I've seen. A 1:26 isn't too shabby either. I was supposed to come down in the Miata or the S2000 for that 10/10ths event, but can't make it. There should be a white s2000 out there with a big wing and a carbon top, or a nice blue miata with a blue soft top out there - try and keep up with him for me

Thanks guys!

Same kinda deal hear, Torqued Motorsports was the group that put this on. I think I paid $230. Well worth it with all the classes and plenty of track time!

Yea we were concerned about that, the track site said no convertibles unless they pass the broomstick test. My friend emailed and asked if 'stock' S2000's were allowed and they said something along the lines of 'new convertibles are stronger, that rule was meant for older convertibles'. I dunno, we didn't argue lol.

Yea Gopro and iPhone with basic suction cup mounts. The phone was on my windshield under the rearview.

Thanks, I was more than happy with how the car did out there. It held in the corners so good. I was real sore the next day, thought I had the flu cause my whole body ached lol. I saw the S2000 you were talking about, looked good! Only saw him run a couple times, super quiet car!

A seat and some harness would really help on track, but would be somewhat of a pain to DD in. Look into a product called the CG Lock - it locks the waist belt of the stock seatbelt to help hold you in place. Makes a big difference.

And the white s2000 is pretty basic. Its got Ohlins suspension, a test pipe, camber joints up front, and that big wing and good tires. Same recipe I'd likely use for an FRS/BRZ to be honest.

That car took 2nd at NASA Nationals last year at Mid-Ohio. The owner/drivers name is Aaron and he specialize in suspension and chassis set up. He's down in Louisville. If you're interested in contacting him to see what he can do for you and helping you set the car up, shoot me a message.

The guy is an absolute wizard. I had been having handling issues in my TT S2000 all season. I talked to him for 5 minutes and he knew exactly what the issue was and how to fix it! He's a great guy too. If you see him on the 13th, stop by and chat. Tell him Austin with the red TT s2000 told you to say hey. I'm sure he'll want to check your car out.

A seat and harnesses would be awesome but the car is my daily, so doubt I'll do it.

That S2000 (and owner) sound awesome! My friend talked to him for a sec I think. I shoulda checked out the car more. I used to have an S2k myself...

Very nice!

This is the racecar here at the shop:



And one of our employees cars before he started working for us:



Oddly enough, both cars may be swapped out for FRS / BRZ in the near future

Very nice. So all of the vids fro the dash with the lap info in it was shot on an iphone. Awesome!

I have an app called TrackMaster that works the same way. Didn't cost $20 bucks though.

Nice runs! Your car looks great and performs great. Loving you reeling them in on the curves!

[colHolm]

So I assume you are enjoying the wheel/tire setup?
