I have the ohlins road and track coilovers. The last time i was out on track I had just installed the driveway labs 5" splitter and man did it create down force! I had no wing to even it out and so at the end of a big carousel turn the rear end would just come around. Well on my check ride I wanted to create a plowing affect so i wouldn't over steer and so it made it even worse when I loosen the rear dampers up. On my check ride with the instructor, I spun out at around 80mph and one of my intake hoses popped off. I had to go in for the session and miss the rest of my check ride. I have a Jackson Racing Supercharger, AP racing sprint kit and now a voltex rear wing as notable mods. I've been in yellow for a while and most of the time I am one of the top 3 fastest in the group. While I had a lot of fun for the longest time I have been in yellow, I want to get into Red so I can push myself even more to go faster and run with faster pace people.

Tracking your 86 in Texas
[ame]http://youtu.be/Et0h8g_VB_4[/ame]
This is the only recent video I had that was really fun chasing a Racecar ZR1 Corvette. That car was pure fast horsepower monster but I held onto braking the very last second to gain on him into each corner. This day was pretty fun.

Hahaha, nice video. I know that car as well. He would simply crush me on the straights but took him quite a while to really get away. This was the last weekend on that set of tires and they really liked to tell you about it.

He's a really nice guy. I enjoy running with him. We would trade back and forth passes a lot that weekend. What tires are you on? Whats your car setup?

Stock motor, 235/40/17 Direzza ZII Star Specs (was on 225/45/17 Potenza RE11As in the video). Koni yellow shocks, swift spec r springs, raceseng camber plates, SPL rear lower control arms and toe links, Carbotech xp10 pads, FT86 Speed Factory front splitter (w/race upgrades) and Driveway Labs Type 1 rear diffuser (switching out for FT86 Speed Factory rear diffuser), few bushings in the rear and some other small stuff.
I never got to actually meet him, but I feel like most of the people at the Drivers Edge events are really nice. I have made some good friends.

Here is my current best lap at MSR on the 1.7CCW, which I was really surprised by the time. I have been really impressed with the ZIIs so far but will likely move up to 245 Rivals S or Potenza RE71Rs next. Although it is tough not to consider R comps now.

Hey, you track people. We're thinking about hosting a meet at the shop, I'd love to have as many of you track people there as possible. User Shneegle is coordinating it, I think he's the guy that does the state-wide drives and whatnot. |

Hey guys, just trying to get in on the conversation. I tracked my FRS for the 1st time at Harris Hill last Friday. Last time I was on a track was about 12 years ago in my 1st Miata (at MSR Cresson), so last Friday was more of a re-learning session.
The staff at Harris Hill mentioned that there's a couple of FRS/BRZ guys that come out regularly, wondering if they are on here?

Hey Tim, I met you out at a few C&C events in San Antonio last year. Guys, let me know when you head over there, I'd love to do a follow behind and see what line you guys take & pick your brain, or do a ride along. I have a work event on Saturday, but I'm thinking I may head out there sometime Sunday for a few laps. I live like 2 exits down from the track & if I can get out of work commitments early enough I possibly could make it out there during the week, later afternoon.

How is Harris Hill? I have not heard much about.
