Homestead Miami Speedway Track day

Just had my first track day with the BRZ. The car handled like it was on rails I was very impressed with how it handles and so easy to drive at the limit! I've tracked my previous cars before (S2000, EVO X) but this car by far has been my favorite, and not to mention super quick on the tight corners. I was able to pass a couple of higher horsepower cars.

Current mods:

Project Mu 800 pads
GT motoring stainless steel brake lines
Motul Dot4 brake fluid
ISC wheel adapters 25mm
08+ STI BBS wheels 18x8.5 +55
245 40 18 Nitto Nt05

Awesome pics. I think I spotted you at the light at 137 and coral way. Your wheels are unique. I was in a silver Brz.

Nice I loved those BBS forged wheels on my old STI hatch. They look good on the BRZ too.

The pads were great I did 5 sessions and no signs of fade! Also, yes I have a single exhaust lol. I ran with performance driving group they give you breakfast and lunch included and free water bottles all day!!! Lol http://performancedrivinggroup.com

I might go again in December I'm waiting for my coils and I wanna have bucket seat before my next event.

Nice to hear. I usually run with PDG as well even when Henry the owner was with hooked in driving. Nice group, now the give you breakfast, that's awesome us hat and shirt if I'm not mistaken. I'm also planning on getting coils but without wheels it'll look odd, stock wheels tend to tuck in a lot specially with camber.
