Hi guys,

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Eric Santini. I have over 10 years experience on the track with motorcycles, but not a lot of track experience with cars. I would consider myself a beginner to intermediate track driver. I have autocrossed on and off since 1992. Two years ago I completed the Porsche Performance - two-day high-performance driving course at Barber Motorsports Park. That is what put me over the edge and created the need get a track car. Last March I purchased a 2015 FR-S and completed an Auto-X season in the FS class and attended 1 track night at NJMP.

This season I plan on doing at least two track days and possibly one autocross or time attack per month starting in March/April. I will use this car to commute 1-2 days a week, 106 miles round trip, mostly highway in fair weather. With some "spirited" Sunday drives thrown in too. Additionally, I am fielding a 90's Mazda 626 in the 24 Hours of Lemons series with some of my track buddies this May.

To date, the car has the following modifications.

Engine/exhaust:
TRD catback and catless Invida front pipe (Installed by the previous owner)
Perrin intake tube and K&N filter
Perrin oil coiler
(Berk HFC front pipe, ACE A-350 header, and Delicious tune coming soon)

Suspension:
RCE Tarmac 2 Coilovers, SPC LCAs and crash bolts for camber adjustment in the front

Wheels/tires:
Stock wheels wrapped in 215/45r17 Dunlop Direzza ZII Star Spec tires
(17x9 Apex Arc 8's and 245/40r17 Dunlop Direzza IIIs coming this weekend)

Brakes:
Winmax W5 pads with Project Mu G-four 335 brake fluid

I would like to thank CSG Mike, Myles and Derek at Race Comp Engineering and Mike and the Crew at AZP install for all of their help so far. All of you have been excellent to work with and are highly recommended.

This thread will highlight my mods and track experiences for the season.

Pics coming this weekend!
