TRACK DAY NUMBER 2!! OCT 2014 ! So palm beach international . They were short on instructors so I had one for the very first session. and the Dude said you're good have fun .
the water / intake temps were good .. BUUUT My brake pedal was still going to the floor after abusing it.
thankfully I had learned hwo to be gentle with it . Lift off early brake at the last moment not the fastest way around But atleast that way the brakes lasted almost till the end of each session .
Here are some fun inserts from the Event .
Very Fast GTR.. Left me in the dust in the back straight

Replaced my Turbos ... THIS IS NOT A FUN JOB TWIN TURBOS ... took me 2 weekends after I put the new turbos on the Oil lines didnt want to align and OH BOY was this NOT a FUN job.. Infact I almost just about quit and ordered a single turbo setup..
Twin turbos are not for the feint of heart ... BUT I eventually managed to install the new used set .
And well they worked
Some new rear rotors .. AND at the PBIR event I learned that My brake fluid cap was a bit broken.. I tested it out and it was indeed letting condensation in so i said MAYYBEEE ?????
Got a new Cap , RBF 600 Brake fluid and re did the whole system .

yeah the set that blew was actually an RZ/Spirit R set =( I have a set of the upgraded / series 7 twins now , and i'm keeping them in low boost . I need much more driver mod than power mod anyways .
But I am planning on upgrading to a nice small single I dont care if it doesnt make more power as long as it runs cooler , and isnt such a huge pain hahah !
But I do have to say its hard to beat .. I love the Car with the working twins . =(
