lastly, I know your fronts are 18x9.5 et15, what are your rear wheel specs and what wheels are they. I completely forgot to check.

LOL, I was wondering who was in those FC's.... I didn't even know they were trying to keep up. I thought I saw someone filming in a truck, I started recording with my gopro when I left the dragon, but it ran out of batteries before that section of highway. I was having a blast on those roads!

Looks awesome, especially the new Zeals. I have the old steel-bodied B6's and they've been bulletproof on the street and track. It's probably due for a rebuild but I can't tell the difference between now and when I got them 5 years ago.

I've got some Zeal B6's too, just wish I could enjoy them They've been sitting pretty stationary for a couple years... While Dan's look nice with the Blue/Red, I'm a big fan of the Yellow/Polished B6 fashion!

Yup it sure was a rotary. I guess you really don't hear the exhaust note from that location on the car. Thanks

Yeah, Mr Michael yelled at me later that night too... But then again he also yelled at me for not giving him a Goodfella shirt.

Ok after my track session at Monticello organized by Trackacardia I have to say the suspension feels amazing. I didn't push the car all the way to it's limits, but the car felt very planted and predictable. On the high speed back straight the car does feel a bit loose, but I think that has more to do with the lack of a rear wing then anything.

During my track session I also realized that the rear brakes are hardly working at all. Onto diagnostics, but my first step will be replacing the 16 year old rear calipers. Here is a quickly thrown together warmup lap with me following zumspdRx-7. The track is 4.1 miles long with 22 turns I'm happy to say that by the fourth session I had the track memorized.

All in all, the track day was great, had a blast meeting some of the other owners at the track and hangin out with goodfellaFD3s (Rich), bridgeported12A (Ryan) , snkydvl (Damari), jhnRx7 (John) and zumspdrx7(Rick).

Nice vid broski, looks like you might need to repaint your front bumper after the 3:00 mark though, haha... ps, get an external microphone and attach it to the rear bumper just above your exhaust, kthnxbye

Looking good Dan! I enjoyed the video. With your rear brakes, is the rotor not getting hot? What pad are you running in the rear compared to what you are running in the front?

I needed to repaint my bumper WAY before the 3:00 mark. That was just kitty littah from a Shelby Cobra that decided to explode his engine on track. DGGR really put a hurting on my front bumpers paint. Do they make external mics for the gopro homboi?

Thanks! I have more I need to edit together with some helmet cam too, just gotta figure out how to keep the audio from the front while switching the video, the contourHD's audio sucks.
I really need to get some brake temp paint to see just how hot the rotors are getting. They're not cold when I come off track that's for sure and there is some dust in the wheels but you can still see the cross hatching from where the rotors were cut still.... I'm running the same pads front/rear RB ET500's.

Good stuff Dan. Car looked awesome from my rear view Juuuust kidding! I think seeing you in my rear view made me push it that much harder though (when I actually looked). I knew I had to make up as much time in the corners as I could cause you caught me on every straight (80 horsepower difference). You got deserved point bys throughout the day, and an erroneous hazards by at kitty litter. Plus you didn't overheat. Good stuff. Regardless of whoever was in front, playing cat and mouse with you was awesome. Most fun I've had in years. Too bad we had all the Sunday drivers holding us up lap after lap (i.e. Mr. M3 session after session and Mr. I dont give point bys S2000.)

Let's do it again in August!

This is the most recent info I could find http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=564349

Doesn't look like it, you'd have to crack it open and wire it up yourself
