Had the pleasure of finally taking my FRS to the track ! Worth every penny, had a place at Mid-Ohio & I documented the experience. Got me excited for the future, especially with the mods I plan to get.

Appreciate the support ! The moment I got on track the first time that I wasn't as good as I thought haha. Got some exciting plans coming up.

The biggest thing I noticed when I first started tracking was how HARD it is on a car. I thought I'd driven pretty hard on some back roads but it wasn't until I ran a 20 minute session on track that I realized that street driving is nothing compared to track duty.

With a set of performance tires and some track pads these cars are phenomenal. The guys in the HPDE download sessions with BMWs and Porsches, (or any car out there because let's face it, basically everything in the field makes more power than the twins) they're are always pretty surprised when they find out they couldn't keep up with a mostly stock Subaru.

I was really pleased with how my tires performed, but a brake upgrade would be nice even if it's just better pads to start. I know I can brake much later to save on time.

Been a while since I uploaded a video, but I finally had time to install some new minor mods. Head over to my YouTube to check it out. 4 more people until 100 subscribers !
