Very Nice! where is that track at?

^^^its at buttonwillow

Nice vid man you owned all!! 2 questions what kind of race was that and what was that grinding noise when you let off?

hey very nice car. love the track. do you have any average lap times for you and anyone else that was running? quick question whats that grinding noise i thought it was tranny at first but is that your suspension? nice car though very fast

Very nice! Respect was given at 7:28 lol!

Great video, always fun watching an in car video of someone at the track.

Any idea on what kind of power numbers you are making?

Thanks man.
It wasn't a race, just a track day event. As far as that grinding noise, it's more of a rattle and it's coming from the 3 link suspension...it's been that way for a long time. One of these days I will figure out a way to get rid of it.

Thanks man. No lap time yet. I need to invest in a lap timer. Just for shits and giggles we could calculate a rough time for me from the video.

The noise seems real bad since the camera is right above the rear diff, but it's not that bad. On the other hand, I'm glad you guys are mentioning it...I need to fix that shit.

Ray, nice vid and kill!

I also PM'd you about the CF 4 hood. Let me know if you still want it so it can be made already.

Yeah, I had the motor on the engine dyno...241hp / 167 tq, at the flywheel. Car weighs 2188.

nice car. wats in it? its totally raced out. are you in advanced group? i was thinking of swapping an s5 13b into my car and entering intermediate group for open track days.

Damn that's a nice video, I wish I have that much power... awesome!

whats your tire set up? damn i want to get on a track

Thanks dude. Check out my sig for details on the car. This event was over sold and there were a lot of people, epecially the advanced group. so...I got bumped down to the fast intermediate group; they always under estamate the car becouse it's a first gen. There were four run groups in all, beginner, intermediate, faster intermediate, and advanced.
The 13b swap sounds cool, or maybe a turbo?

I've been on Toyo RA-1 tires for the last two events, they are nice! Track days are fun, all you guys should try to make it out there. Around here we're allowed to take passengers so they can see what it's like. If nothing else just go to get some ride time.

I love when you are chasing the EVO and blow past the white CRX at 2:35. It's soooo loud but he's going so slow comparatively. :rofl:

OMG your car looks like a blast to drive, is it driven on the street too? Wanna post some pics of it, interior, under bonnet, etc

Awesome first gen! Looks like you clearly had no problem over taking people, keep up the good work! :icon_tup:

yeah that thing is a beast!

thanks fellas

no more street for this one....track only.

here are a couple more shots

ray...you are an inspiration...now im considering building a track car. my girl is gonna be real upset with you when she finds out.

lol

Very nice videos man. I am trying to follow in your footsteps. Are you running on shaved Toyo RA-1?

Funny how well a video works...I've been saying to you for years how fun it is going to the track. Hurry up and build one already dammit! :)

Thanks man. Actually I have been running on a set of 225-45-15 RA-1's, but not shaved. I end up having to rotate them (front to back) a few times to get them to wear well, but except for really hot days (+90 F) and/or long sessions (+25 minutes) I don't have any problems with them getting too hot from not being shaved. If you are just starting out I would'nt worry about getting your first set shaved. What's your setup like right now?
