My FR-S In Time Attack Mode!!
 

Posted this on my build thread but thought i would share here since i am so proud of breaking my personal best record at the track :)

All right guys, had another lap session today and broke my personal best of 1.33.1 with a 1.31.5 . Car had everything when i ran the .33.1 lap time except new Ferodo DS2500 Pads with spiegler lines and AP fluid + a Motiv HFC and a AP lightweight pulley. There is a section on the track that is coned off due to a new patch of pavement that is being left to cure. Im sure when this patch dries i should shave a few more tenths of a second of my time since i will be able to hit the apex im sure im about to break into the 1.30's maybe even .29's which would match my C63 with sticky tires and 420whp!! Let me also thank JMS Racing for helping me setup the car and @JRitt from Essex Parts that helped me setup the car with this awesome brake combo. I look forward to running their AP BBK. Well guys im in lotus territory as of right now so i am very happy with the way the car is coming along. No problems so far toyota and subaru have built us a very solid car!!

Thought i would share some pictures and video from the track today. Got a new trailer as well so i should be making more events nationwide!! This little car has surprised me a lot in good ways!! Just recently it pulled more g's than my ex R-35 GT-R. Lightweight FTW!!

Just for a quick refresh my modded C63 ran a 1.29.5 and my Full bolt on R-35 GT-R ran a 1.26.1 . Considering the power disadvantage this is a very fast car in the corners its only two seconds off the c63's pace.

More mods are on the way so stay tuned for more videos!! Dont forget to rate guys!!

Nice.. Congratulations on your time

me like, all the mods are underneath,

by the way, what kind of trailer is that and how much, if you dont mind

Very impressive. Did you sell the C63?

I got it from The Trailer Shop in Dallas from an old Drag Racer named Lewis. He used to race in the salt flats and told me he had a record of some sort of top speed but he has retired from racing and helps out the racing community by building some bad ass trailers from his shop in dallas. I paid 3600 out the door for the trailer with a rock shield, under mounted spare tire, brakes, and taxes. Not bad considering other dealers want around 3.5k just for the trailer it self.

Here is the shops link! Talk to Lewis, he is a great guy and will make you a great deal. Its always nice to meet older people that are into racing no matter what kind it is (drag, rally, track).

Yeah , i traded it for my truck! Love my truck but im having a strange urge of buying something stupid fast again. I might just pick up an old ram 2500 and use it only for towing and get a nice fast DD.

Very nice mods. This is the sort of thing I'd like to do with my car later on.

Nice work. Let me know if you come out to the east coast at some point. Our cars are very similar, mod wise.

Actually yesterday i was just thinking about tracking at VIR!! Ill let you know for sure since VIR is in my top must places to track!! So far i have only been to Driveway Austin , Willow Springs, Harris Hill Road , MSR in Houston, Autodromo Monterrey in Mexico, and Laguna Seca. Ill let you know for sure! :thumbsup:

Love seeing the car being put to the test! Hope the HFC worked out well for you on the track. Thanks again for the support!

Thanks for sharing - Congrats!

Nice wheel/tire choice :) I have same brand setup!

Great, VIR is very close to me.

Thanks man, i love how light it is but still has the perfect amount of grip!! Im about to lighten 5 pounds on each rotating front mass when i upgrade to the AP sprint BBK offered by Essex :). Cant wait to see how i improve my times with the new brake setup.



Track proven, i love the quality. If anybody has second thoughts on a motiv concept product dont have them, they make one solid piece of engineering.

Very nice vid!

Thanks for sharing.
