Couple photos of the compressor inlet pipe painted. Note that the kit is not fully assembled here (missing clamps, etc.); pipe is installed just for mock-up purposes.

Will anyone be at Laguna Seca this weekend?

The BRZ will be driving on Saturday and possibly Sunday for more testing of the development turbo kit.

Last batch of photos from our Laguna Seca track day










The tan/brown wires that you see in the engine bay are thermocouple wires used to measure temperatures to aid in the development process of our turbo kit.












Data logging with brzEdit.






Leon changing the brake pads.




Condition of the stock pads. See Leon's comments on his experience driving on the track with the stock pads here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...27#post1923827




New Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 Matte Black 17x8 +42 for our vehicle.


















A couple more photos of the temperature paint used as part of the turbo kit development process.

Relevant note I forgot to mention regarding the Laguna Seca track video above.

Old and used tires were mounted to the rear wheels which resulted in excessive oversteer. Quote from the driver, Leon:

Quote:
"The downside of the tire swap was the 5-year-old nearly bald rear tires which severely compromised rear grip. Had to be very delicate with throttle inputs as any little bit could put the car into a slide. It’s fun, but not very fast or safe."
