Awesome weekend! I was the one running in Intermediate with Ultramarine Blue FRS with Infamous Decals sticker on the doors.

It was nice meeting some of you guys!

Was cool to see all the twins at the Gridlife event at Autobahn. Great track and great event once it dried up!

this video is jacked up but kind of interesting... it's 60 fps original but my render ended up with 1:20 of audio but 2:40 of footage as it took the 60 fps and reduced it to 30 essentially, aka the video is in 50% slow motion now..

seems like my exhaust is the loudest thing in that video lol. it was actually all sorts of broken by the time i got home. don't remember if i told you i hit a piece of metal on the way down but it did some initial damage then the shit it made weak got even more damaged, my last session was my fastest but i also think by it my exhaust was pretty fucked (much more fucked by the time i got home)

Yeah you told me and my buddy at the track. Hope you can get it all fixed up!

It really sucks driving a quiet car, hard to tell what the motor is doing.

buddy came over last night and i think she's all good now, haven't had a chance to move the car yet, getting some work done on the house today.

if you mount the gopro near the wheel like in my one vid you can get more engine noise, although the gopro will amplify what it hears and you want to get wind out of there, which is why i have the foofy backing on my gopro. it would probably be noticeable in my wheel vid above but my exhaust is too loud now plus there is an exhaust leak between the header and overpipe here too.

Anyone here with a white BRZ work in elgin? I parked next to one last week at my job.

tomkozski · 07-08-2015, 05:58 PM

Hello, I'll be in the Chicago area Aug 9-20 with my BRZ. Any recommended autocross events the weekend of Aug 15-16? Is the windy city miata club autocross in Schaumburg a good one to attend? Thanks!
