Got the car out for the first track day of 2017. Set a new personal best! The new mods make the car amazing. Set the PB on old tires too that have quite a few heat cycles. I really want to get a set of R7's and have at it

Anyways, mods are in sig

Video of the two quickest back to back laps below.

 

Nice! Congrats on the personal best! What are the new mods?

 

Hey Derek, well done. This video even looks faster than the ones from the previous years, and your line isn't that much different. Mods are working for you!

How do you like the new dampers and CC plates? And what camber are you running?

I found the mid corner grip increase to be HUGE after CC plates, damper and front sway bar. Is your experience similar? Congrats on new PB!

 

Double adjustable shocks, #550/#280 ft/rr springs, caster/camber plates, ride height adjust, intake, tune, Forgestar 18x10's with Conti/Hoosier slicks, girodisc floating 2-piece rotors front and rear, reworked rear wing. I think I got it all

 

Love the new suspension. It's much tighter and camber is something I should have done years ago. I'm running... something? For camber? I have no idea, I haven't had time for alignment! Whatever it is, I need a touch more. I think it's around -2.5

Crazy grip. I'm happy

 

Very nice, always enjoy your videos. Do you have your competition license or working toward one?

 

I don't and I probably won't. As much fun as that would be, I like instructing and track days as a hobby. It's too time and money consuming to start racing. Glad a few people like the videos too. I get a kick out of seeing what the car can really do

 

Slicks and a 7K+ tune, you make it look so easy.

 

Awesome!

 

Just point and shoot right? 😛

 

Thx! Sure is great to get back out there!

 

Nope, you have to have the FEEL. I edited post #8.

 

Haha no worries I knew what you meant! Kidding aside the car is more point and shoot with all the work I've done. It's highly rewarding as well!

Next up: Watkins Glen in 10 days. Cannot wait

Got a new rear wheel stud arriving today and ordered new bleeder inserts last night cause one snapped last night as I bled the fronts. Race car probs

 

Wow. That is flying. Thanks for posting. My first event of 2017 was Autobahn last weekend. Looking ahead to Road America in early July, I am hoping to break into get into sub 3 minute laps with my V6.
