Absolutely! Anything better than my Nexus 5's camera would be an improvement.

Fresh PMU Club Racers in all four calipers ready for bedding.

Rotated the wheels diagonally since Barber already got the tires broken in nicely. I love square fitment for getting the most out of each tire.

I'm excited to burn some more corn at Atlanta Motorsports Park on Friday!

GTHachiRoku · 03-13-2014, 08:09 AM

Nice! I'm ready too, fresh HC+800 pads and the stock muffler back on.
I think we'll both appreciate it.

buddy32 · 03-13-2014, 08:15 AM

Woot! Changing pads tomorrow and heading to Road Atlanta Saturday for the weekend for the NASA event for some track time as well. Can't wait!

ATL BRZ · 03-13-2014, 02:20 PM

Filled up the tank plus two 5 gallon jugs with fresh E85.

Ahh, that's better.

On the way home I saw some pretty crazy shit.

A large mouth bass trying to swallow an Anteater. I almost couldn't believe my eyes, but BOOM FOR REAL©

Atlanta is full of surprises.

My early birthday present from my girlfriend is a driver mod!

Puma Speed Cat driving shoes. I've never had proper driving shoes before so I'm excited to try these out on track tomorrow.

I may or may not have three pairs of those of which I am wearing my navy blue pair today. You can find them for as low as $30 a pair sometimes.

Oooh Speed Cats! So fancy!

Car is a beut!

Had a blast at AMP yesterday with Hooked on Driving. Around 60 cars with perfect 64 degree weather.

I was paired up with @GTHachiRoku as his coach for the day in his Firestorm FR-S. We also shared the track with another Asphalt FR-S as well so the 86 turnout was better than ever for a track day around here.

My car ran great for the first session and then as the sun quickly warmed up the track the car became plagued with a persistent P0351 for the #1 coil. I think it just gets too hot down above the header/overpipe junction and when tracked frequently the #1 coil fails over time. Since there are a bunch of owners here with the exact same problem and respective CEL, I've already got a new revised OEM coil on the way.

I'm not sure that wrapping/coating the header/op would make a big difference in coil life but I really want to try and get a solution to these failing after a year or so of consistent track time. A bolt-on coil heat shield or a coil made of more heat-resistant materials would be ideal.

Anyways I decided after clearing the P0351 twice and it coming back each time that I should park the car and pack it up for the day, which I was fine with since I still got plenty of seat time in a FR-S all afternoon which was so much fun. Right now the car will throw P0351 when cruising around conservatively if I even briefly go WOT and let the revs climb for a few seconds. Sucks.

I will review the two sessions of GoPro footage that I have and see if it's worth uploading.

Found this unintentional photo on my GoPro's memory card. Cool!

Short afternoon session in the B group with my student riding shotgun. Driving conservatively trying to avoid P0351 but it came back right at the end of the video where I cut it short and brought it back into the paddock.
