Takumi788's More Track than Street FRS - Now NASA TT Focused

[Takumi788]

The prototypes are here and they look amazing! The top hat is a prototype version and will be updated after fitment is confirmed. I will install them and report back with pictures and fitment results asap.

Also got my new Maxxis RC1's! Happy first day of spring to me!

[Takumi788]

YCW Engineering coilovers and Maxxis RC1's are installed and everything fits and looks amazing. I can't wait to say more about these coilovers! Stay tuned.

Also shown is my winter project 1993 Honda Prelude with a H22A I rebuilt. I gotta get rid of that awful carbon fiber hood but otherwise it is super clean and she goes pretty good.

Wow, that looks fantastic.

always coming back to check your build thread man,

Looking better and better, Im assuming you're lower than before and running more camber in the front?

Thanks man! Things kinda slowed down more than I like over the off-season but I am back with some big plans for this year.

I just installed the YCW Engineering coilovers (more details on these soon) so yes I am able to run much more front camber and I am a little lower. My alignment is scheduled for early April and I am going to aim for -3.5 degrees in the front. Now the 255/40 Maxxis RC1s have plenty of room to breathe.

I feel your pain. I'm stilll on RCE Yellow and OEM Struts,

I had to replaced all my oem stud to ARP Ext in order to safely run a spacer so I can clear my wheel with the front camber.

Planning to run a wider 245/40 and dial in more camber to about -2.3 to -2.5.

On the alignment rack at the local performance shop and a start of a new sponsorship with All Things Adrenaline. A few more adjustments and contingency stickers before my first NASA Northeast event at Watkins on April 24-25th. I'm ready!

[Takumi788]

My sponsor All Things Adrenaline came out to watch a shake down test at Watkins and got some pretty nice pictures. I managed to a 2:22.00 lap time. Which is 4 seconds faster than last year! There is more in the car but I have to iron a few things out. My cold tire temps were way to high and I had to figure out my YCW coilover setting. This years goal is to be in the teens! Anyway. Off to NJMP this weekend.





Also have some pictures at my favorite road. Enjoy!

Just went through every post from 2015 and re-uploaded my pictures. Turns out ImageSafe wasn't that safe and they unlinked all my pictures. Enjoy.

How did it go in NJMP?

I skipped driving at the event and went as a social media manager for my race team Spec13 Motorsports. It sucked not driving but I got a lot of good content for our upcoming website and other social media sites. The event was on the Lightning track. I love the facility. I will be driving at Pittsburgh international with NASA on June 3-4th.

Nice build! I'm also TTC Bound.

Have you ever made it out to Mid-Ohio?

Yahhhh. My plans have been leaning towards being an instructor instead of competing. I recently read Ultimate Speed Secrets by Ross Bently and it really changed the way I think about driving and track events. I would like to help other people like that.

I have not been to mid-ohio. I have heard it is a great track. Unfortunately it is a 6.5 hour drive for me but I am slowly expanding my track horizons. VIR next year for my bachelor party!
