Takumi788's More Track than Street FRS - Now NASA TT Focused - Page 18 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I just purchased a set of scales so I have been busy setting up both my car and the teams cars.

My car and my friends TT4 Evo prepping for this weekend at NJMP Thunderbolt.

And another friends WRX with some freshly installed RCE Tarmac 3's.

Check out these awesome shots that Windshadow Studios took while I was at NJMP!

Tire trailer is done! This is going to make track days so much easier.

Takumi788 · 08-15-2017, 11:38 AM

Signed up for a few track days. Headed to NYST on August 18th and Lime Rock with NASA on the 25th+26th. Anyone on here going?

I found these at Lowes while I was working on a house project. They work perfect for blocking off the Verus (Velox) brake ducts while street driving! I run Hawk DTC60's. They are amazing on the track but and they SUCK when they are cold. Anyway I figured I would share.

Just did Lime Rock on Monday this week, and Palmer coming up on the 29th. I need to do some NASA events since I see so few of the twins at SCDA events.
I don't know if he is on the forums but there was Stock engine BRZ at Lime Rock Monday turning 1:02 laps. Just had suspension and tire upgrades. Was fun to watch him passing cars with 3 times the HP.

That was the only other twin I saw there.

1:02 is my goal next week. My first time at Lime Rock I ran a 1:04 on very old 200tw tires and springs/struts. Now I have coilovers and Maxxis Rc1's and a little seat time at the track. Should be fun!

Nasa has an awesome coaching program. I have driven in a few organizations and NASA's is the best. You may not get the most seat time but you will learn more and they are well organized.

There are also a BUNCH of twins. Subielife is a head instructor and endless_pain is an instructor/time trial competitor. Then there are around 3-4 others at any given track day. There was a pirrelli cup frs at the NJMP event. He had a lot of good info on the car and was very helpful on some suspension setup questions I had. Message me if you sign up for a NASA event. More twins the better.

Well. NYST was a wash out. Poured all day. I went back and forth from Maxxis Rc1s to 240 tw street tires all day. Never got either up to temp. Oh well. Still fun.

Lime Rock is up next on friday/saturday

Here are some pics of the new YCW graphics. Got some professional pics coming soon.

Takumi788 · 09-02-2017, 01:33 PM

Lime Rock was AWESOME! I ran constant 1:04.6 lap time all day and mustered up some courage on the downhill to manage a 1:04.3 on the last run. Watching the videos it looks like I left a lot of time on the table. Lime Rock is easy to learn but hard to master. Back to Watkins in 3 weeks.

Takumi788 · 09-03-2017, 09:37 PM

I didn't like the look of my car in the pics from Lime Rock. So I added a new door stripe so its not just a bunch of text on the car. I think it looks pretty rad. What do you think?

Looks really nice how you have it, full panda looks wrong on the twins.
