Track: Thunderhill West
Car: BRZ
Mods: 17x9 245/40/17 RE71R's, Bilsteins w/ custom springs, Strano FSB stock rear bar, RR Racing front and rear brake kit, some aero bits, TRD intake + muffler (no headers or tune)
Notes/Comments:

Had my first track event since 2002. I've done probably 50 autox events since then, so my skills have improved, but the interesting thing was getting back onto the track was like riding a bike... Within a lap or two I remembered exactly what its like

Anyway, I'm really happy with the car, my suspension work has paid off with a car that is very neutral. Doesn't plow understeer and doesn't snap understeer, it just goes. I could use more camber in some corners with camber plates, but I found the loss in ride quality for daily driving wasnt worth it so I'm sticking with Group-N tophats.

The RR Racing brake kit works very well, minus the brake noise with the BP-20's. I could out-brake everything out there especially with the RE71R's, which are just as AMAZING on the track as they are at autox! Ambient temp was around 95 degrees.

I recorded Torque app with Track Recorder, but it didnt work on my new phone for exporting, I did check my coolant/oil temps and saw that my oil temps did just fine with the Forester/WRX oil cooler I use (~250 max) but my coolant temps got quite hot to around 210-215. Probably need a larger radiator for sure.

Power wise, I was VERY disappointed... So much so I'm contemplating buying a much much faster car. EVERYTHING pulled away out of corners and in straights, even the Focus ST I followed for awhile. I have been contemplating a Edelbrock or Harrop Supercharger, but tearing into the motor is something I'm very hesitant to do.

Anyway...

SORRY about the crappy vids... I tried a new mount with my new phone and it was awful. I use the Torque Recorder with the Torque PRO app and normally it works great, this time it was crap

Going to have to try something else...
