Track day at Sonoma this weekend. Have a very good day, set what I believe is the current chassis record with a 1:51.796. Car ran fantastic. Overall a very good day.

Track day at Buttonwillow yesterday. Day went pretty much exactly as I'd hope for minus the fact I lost my transponder (and apparently $500 if they can't find it) in the first session.

My plan...

Track day at Thunderhill West yesterday. It was quite wet and raining pretty much the whole day. I had two big spins (shamefully black flagging two sessions, including the one 86Drive Challenge only...

Installed the TRD “aero stabilizer” today. Pretty easy to line up (as you would expect from an OEM part). Next up is an oil change/alignment/camber bolts/studs/spacers before my next track day,...

Track day at Sonoma today. Had a solid first session and set a PB of 1:55.02. The conditions in the second session were also good, but there was much more traffic and I couldn’t quite get the lap I...

Before the SX2 RS, the SX2 was the official tire for Formula Drift, they supplied teams with them. I believe they’ve sponsored Formula Drift for many years now.

Nah, not unless you’re doing big, wide angle drifts consistently. The Champiro SX2s seem to overheat after 3-4 laps, and get very slidy once they do so. They handle the heat well though, no issues...

CSG CP pads installed today, took them for a minor bed-in drive and they certainly have a stronger bite than the Endless pads. Will try them out on track this Friday at Sonoma.

Alignment, brake fluid flush (Castrol SRF), and 1k oil change done today (Motul 300V). Probably the ugliest pre-alignment stats I’ve ever seen but all that matters is the new setup which looks great!...
