Very cool! I bet with better tires (RE11, Star Spec, or better), losing the 200 pounds of dead weight in the passenger seat (was he there for all the runs?), and taking it up to red line, you'll shave 4 seconds off your times easily. :D

Well for example last month i did not use it at all because i sold my s14 and i was waiting on the FR-S i was so desperate for a track fix that i thought about tracking either the wifes car or my old merc, unfortunately all plans failed after the wife saw me in the garage rotating her tires and loading up my helmet in her car lol. But usually i go at least once a month some times twice even if i dont run ill go sunday to the club house and chat with other drivers , do maintenance in my track garage etc. I also do other events ive done scca and other auto-x events. Yesterday they had a Gymkana event at harris hill and i wanted to go but got lazy because it was to late to do the oil change on the car i missed it by the videos it looked great!! Im trying to do as much events on the weekends as i can but i need sponsors im limiting my self right now to a set of tires per month :(.

Here is the Gymkhana Event it looked fun

Thanks man, i actually had your exhaust on my E90 M3!! Sounded amazing def the best sounding M3 exhaust out there, not to loud not to quiet just perfect!!




Passenger was not in the car when i did my fastest run but im sure i can lower my time at least another 3 seconds just by getting used to the car and revving to red line. I cant imagine what this thing will do with bolt ons suspension , light weight reduction, brakes and grippy tires. Im sure i could easily get a better time than the c63 with just those mods. :burnrubber:

Cool. Be a crazy way to ruin a good day. :thumbup:

Out of curiosity why did you lower your tire pressure to 29? Most guys at the track that I've talked to recommend leaving the pressure at the OEM stock settings, or increase the pressure a little put to prevent sidewall roll. Personally I've always left mine stock (32/32) for my car. After 20 minutes sessions the pressure is usually up to 38-40.

You could say we were experimenting since the track was so hot. After about 10 hot laps the tire pressure was around 36. I will be rotating the tires and trying 30-31 psi this up coming weekend to see how it behaves. :party0030:

Dude I am so jealousy right now, not about the car, I have it already. Just that I'm in Toronto and the closest race track is 2 hours drive. Just don't seem to have the time to go.
Congrats again on your purchased.

Yeah man that does suck H2R is only 45 mins from my house which is not that bad. Wish it was closer though :D my dream house would be next to a racetrack id love to wake up to the sound of engines revving!!

Ordered my cusco tow hooks today , im on the fence about getting black enkei rfp1s with hankook rs3's + some kw v3's for the track what do you guys think should i wait for more suspension options?

Now this is how you're supposed to break in your FR-S! :respekt: :respekt: :respekt: :respekt:

btw, those are some very nice cars that you've owned! :eyebulge: What do you do for a living?

Off topic question. Is that an LS1 swapped Volvo 240? Please tell me it's a wagon too :burnrubber:

Hmmmm, somethings fishy

Having been around Harris Hill a few times myself (with chumpCar in an E30 and 200SX) I am familiar with the track. Looks like you are maintaining enough monentum to have fairly decent exit speeds. I plan to track my FR-S as well and can't wait. Problem is we are now in the hot summer and track events are few and far between. Most likely will be with PCA or Drivers Edge in the Fall.

Great write up and videos. Thanks.

Thanks man, I own a ticket broker business here in town, real estate in Mexico, and i trade precious metals from Mexico to China. Im part time in Mexico and part time in the US, keeps me busy though.:iono:



Its my buddies volvo lol. i think he said it has a 5.0 swap not to sure ill ask him, its a sedan BTW.:happy0180:


HUH? :hitcomputer:




I agree track is so hot right now, i cant wait until november for super nice temps!! Im sure lap times will be better for sure.

It looked like you were experiencing quite a bit of understeer through a lot of those longer radius corners. Was this the case or were you not attacking the lines so not to induce too much oversteer?

BTW nice work getting it straight to the track and good colour choice too ;). Im pretty envious of that track set up you have there too. How does your membership work, you just turn up whenever you want provided there isnt a meet on? It looked like you were the only guy out there...
