My track day video at Willow Springs 1-19-13 vs S2000/FR-S/RX8
This event was a blast. It was the first FT86 cup event (results don't count toward championship) and I was happy to place 2nd place in the Under Class
There is some good footage of @robispec behind me as well! My best lap is a 1:27.3, but I know I have room for improvement. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecaW8fZvJCM"]Scion FR-S at Streets of Willow Extreme Speed 1-19-2013 track day compilation - YouTube[/ame] |

Why is your car so loose? What is your alignment?

Alignment is a factor as it it set to zero degrees all the way around, but a big reason for it being very loose that day is because the temps were extremely cold at around 40 degrees. Once the tires got to temp after several laps, it was much, much better. Most of the footage of me getting sideways is because it was the first few laps and the tires were still cold

Have you ever measured tire temps and pressures mid session? I think the looseness may be a result of your driving style and the spring rates. Based on the video, it seems you use the front tires more than the rears (partially style, possibly as a result of spring rates), causing them to warm up faster.
Just some speculation... |

9k front 7k rear? Did I read that right? That sounds like it would be massively understeery unless you're compensating with damping or sways.
Do you have sways? We're on 10/12 f/r, and I think its pushy :p |

I have stock sway bars, just have the Perrin adjustable end links on the rear bar to compensate for the binding issue with the stock rear end links. I'm going to try different spring rates eventually, just want to see what I can get out of the factory Buddy Club set up |

1:27 is pretty quick. What tires were you on?
btw... saw you waived by Willem in his NSX. He did a 1:23 that day. here's a vid you might enjoy (different perspective, same day) <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Fnro2kQnb3Q" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> |

You know Will? He's one of my best friends for the past 10 years. His NSX is so awesome, I'm very envious! It's a quick car, very well balanced/tuned |

Can you elaborate more on this binding issue? Does this happen in stock config too? |
