1st guy has been winning all season. Extremely well built brz, and like 30 years of seat time lol. He also plays the pax system well. Rumor has it the car is way more built then its pax points suggests. 2nd place guy…was renting first place guys brz. They both drove the car. Weird right. Idk...

Solid weekend 6 hours - 310 miles from home. Lapping on Saturday. Time attack on Sunday. New track to me. Had to learn it and 20 corners most of which are blind, it’s no joke. This track is an engine stresser too lol. That was fun Lapping video from Saturday. Sunday it pissed rain all...

Overall I haven’t noticed much with the mix and match. The rears just need to be there and not heat cycled out. All of these “super 200’s” are all so similar in compound and pace I’m actually not sure it even matters? Next season I’ll be back to a full matching set of tires. I do have tire...

2 day competition weekend coming up quick. August 28-30. Itll be 2 days at one of the longet tracks around. 6 hours from home, 2m30s laptime, tenting it. Its going to be sickk I just hoping my engine lasts these 2 days, followed by finals on september 20th. after that, engines getting swapped...

lol I’ve got the perch which I need of course, the other black thingy is the coupler for the helper spring. The helper spring is almost doing nothing but it is still doing something so it’s gotta stay. Considering adding in more rear droop so that helper spring will be doing more. We’ll see...

i took the short swift springs off and installed 1.5" longer Eibach springs. thats all. rear has always been a divorced setup. This was done to gain me back rear ride height as the adjustment was maxed out and i needed a good bit more to make my idea work

Well update time. Its been a little bit. New eibach rear springs showed up. I got those installed and cranked the cars ride height all around. Back to how it was in april, not as high but much closer. Final current ride height, 4.45" from and 4.9" rear. Just over a half in of rake and boy...

So it’s still not where I want it but I changed up my drive style a little to compensate and it seems to have worked. Messing up the front end of the car definitely fucked shit though. Not enough compression right now and even droop I’ve limited some how lol. It was definitely not happy to...

I am but since alot of my logging and tuning happens on the street the car is still plated and insured. Makes it easier to take it to the shop if I need to as well

Fucking weird classing idk. It’s pretty shit but whatever. I did alright I guess. Learning a new track layout was fun LOL everyone gives me shit for the plate bracket. I zip tie the transponder there it makes it easy but yes looks like shit. I always put my plates back on before leaving the...

Went time attacking yesterday. Reverse layout on a track I’ve done a bunch of times before in the regular config. Nobodies done reverse though. It was a game of learning the track asap that’s for sure. Lost to an mk8 golf R and if you know anything about those cars they are dumb fast. With...

Well hit a snag on engine assembly. Rod bearings appear to be too tight. This is after sourcing some difficult to find bearings. Machine shop measured with the paper work listed 55ftlbs or whatever it is and not the 75ftlbs I ended up at with the rod bolt stretch gauge(70-80ftlbs is common...

Engine has been picked up from the machine shop. Assembly began yesterday on the short block and ill finish it this weekend. Pending a head gasket and few other parts from the dealer before i can assemble the long block. thatll be next week. then...its swap time.

It was yup. I went faster than him in straight up raw time but the stupid pax system fucked me and he gets first place cause he’s got less pips than me. Annoying The car was kinda shit still anyways. New tires helped a bunch but seemed more like a bandaid. The car still ain’t right

Little P2 action today. Tried to enter into my frs buddies class and they wouldn’t let me. Ah well
