Smile glamcem's Track Build 2022 BRZ

The Ridge Motorsports Park (RMP)

Notice the GT3RS massive hp advantage, my car begs for more power and better brakes since I experienced some fade issue..it was a nice baseline IMO

I will do my best to post everything about the progression . In the meantime, I've added couple videos of the track events I attended this past weekend and updated my first post and will continue adding new videos. I think I am the fastest stock powered BRZ at both tracks unless otherwise posted

Nexus 7 and Torque app seems to be working fine to take logs for the most part (in both events) my coolant temps were at around ~95 degrees (F) which is good but I saw oil temps rose up to ~265-270 (F) hopefully OEM oil cooler will help reduce those oil temps. I am glad I was running Mobil 1 0W-40 since it looked good between sessions.



Stoptech brakes on the other hand could've been better since I noticed slight fade, I will soon get some Carbotech or Raybestos St43 or equivalent pads and separate rotors so that they can bind well together..


Tires also seems to be holding fine and pressures were stable at around 35 psi between sessions..



Here are some pictures of my car and friends' Mx-5 Miata and Lotus:

getting ready for the trip





I can fit 4 wheels and tires, track stuff (jacks, helmets, tq wrench, ..etc) with no problem


The Ridge Motorsports Park




On the road to ORP (Oregon Raceway Park)

Not a lot of white evo's running around The Ridge. If you had it at The Ridge in 2012 with Ridge Racing School, there's a really good chance that I was your instructor that day.

I haven't attended any racing school with Ridge and I am fairly new to the Seattle area (moved here in October 2012 from Florida) I will look forward to meeting you one of those events though

A Little update: I've installed Perrin OP, Invidia Catless FP and Tsudo Catback.. It was an easy install but time consuming maybe it's because I am not that to install parts in general It took me about 4 hours (could've been faster but I took my time).

I will soon post pictures and video, sound is not annoying on the highway and catback is pretty quite but with nice tone ..
