Looks good! Enjoy the car, and have fun!

Also, take that performance driving course, it will definitely be beneficial for a lot of reasons.

Update!

What's up guys!? Have not updated lately. School work is wow right now. But yeah while schedule keeps on getting hectic I still manage to buy time to prepare the car for an HPDE in Sonoma Raceway,Ca. Planning to test out the car, learn how to drive the right way and in a controlled environment. March is the target. This is the most needed MOD I need for this car.

So far. Did some oil change and fluids too. Motul 0w20 for the engine, Pentosin MTF2 for the tranny, and some motul gear for the diffy. I'll be changing brake fluids to make it track able and not worry about boiling it out and have problems.

I'll be running stocks tires and wheels for the event (it is my first HPDE). But planning to get another set of wheels dedicated for track and stuff or keep these. I don't know. But hopefully, I can get some rubber on the new shoes already! Just happy I got these set of wheels. No second thoughts! We'll get to that. I'll prepare for the event first. Then, I will test out some race brake pads on the event. Review and info soon.

I'm loving the exhaust I got. Importantly, it's in house built and really got sold on how it is different. The sound is just aggressive but with a soft touch. "ZERO" Drone and just really makes it a gentle man exhaust. Not obnoxiously loud but can grab an attention. Even the customer service from WORKS is just TOP NOTCH! The owner is just awesome and knows what customer service means. Info help and support comes with the package.

The bushings just made it night and day difference. The positive shift kit and rear shifter bushing just made the car into a real sports car. Solid feel and immediate feedback from the tranny. No more uneasy and sloppy shift in any type of driving. Gave a little more NVH but tolerable. Exhaust, engine and music can cover those up. You get to know and feel everything happening to the car.

I'll update again as the event gets near. Thanks. Keep Be safe.

Grimmspeed Plate Relocator
Eiback Pro-kit Springs

I love that you're taking this thing on the track! That's what these cars were built for. It's looking great... really like the white. Keep up the great work and keep us posted :-)

yeah, it's a must because I won't know how this amazing car performs and know the real fun (it's already fun to drive even as a DD) until it steps on a track. Driver MOD is needed.

For you Dad! Thanks for watchin over me. I miss you man!


S/O to Works! Good shop and service all the time!

[tintumz22]

Just purchased stuff for the HPDE weekend. I will be prepin the car this coming days.

Motul RBF600 Brake fluid
Motul 300v 5w30 Engine oil
Works Blue Brake pads
(These are the first set out so i'll be doing a review of it. Streets and track useable.)
I might install the brake pads early for brake-in and initial review for street use because it is applicable for street/track use. I'll post them as soon as i'm done with the event.

Are you switching to 5w30 300v for track temps?

Fasho @vubaru! I will! Yeah, track temps and for added protection on the track. I've been contemplating of what to use but after research and questions it lead me to use the 300v 5w30.

New Brake pads Installed. Works Blue Brake pads F/R:




Fresh new oil for the track.


Now to test this car tomorrow!

Will update for experience, the event and the performance of mods of the car.

Had a great time for the event yesterday! Learned a lot! S/o to Sean(i think he's a member here he said but forgot his username. He has a SWP BRZ and he was driving it yesterday!) Very good instructor! Learned a lot and I did meet my expectations and goals! I spun out!! traction control all off in one of my run to test where I am and what are things I need to learn in controlling the behavior of the car in such a speed.

I will be posting pictures and vid!
