Great weather. Fun times. Several people lost their front splitters to the turn 1 transition. A JRSC BRZ popped a boost hose, dumped fuel into the cat, and blew his cats out, but got fixed up overnight.

It was my first time on a track and it was amazing. I used to think I wanted a JRSC or a JDL turbo, but now I know I don't really need that power.

FTFY.

I'll cross that bridge when I get there. :party0030:

I just meant that the lack of FI isn't preventing me from enjoying the hell out of my car.

I thought the car was slow when I first got on the track (MRSC is a lot more technical than TWS). Then I learned to carry speed through corners and the car was no longer slow. Then I started getting really fast and putting the hurt on the big boys in the corners but struggling to catch them as they outpowered me down the straights. Then I again wanted more power.


Learning to drive an underpowered car fast is highly rewarding and will make you a much better driver. I am now faster than a lot of vettes in the top run group as my precision in corners is so much sharper than theirs because I have had to learn to not rely on power to cover my mistakes. They can hose a corner entry and then just stomp the gas peddle and still turn a decent lap, I can't.

So it is most certainly not the "fastest" an 86 has lapped TWS but I am more than happy with it!

2:06.852

Mods: Koni yellows on stock springs, whiteline front swaybar, veryyyyyy worn hoosier A6's that I bought used from a TT car just to get me through the weekend (245/40/17 squeezed on to a 7" wheel), and the nameless muffler delete.

Any and all advice is more than welcome!!!

Chase and I signed up for the Don Herring Mitsubishi annual track-day at MSR Crandall. We weren't the only Subarus, but we were the only BRZs and some of the only RWD cars at the event. The number of white EVOs was impressive.

So the experience survey for the Mitsubishi event ended up in my spam filter, and I was assigned to the novice group. Watch what happened...

Here is my MSR Cresson 1.3 Video. I was moved into the advanced group at the end of the day so I gridded last and had wide open track the wholeeeeeee session.
