Thanks Its a great car on the track. On the street its a bumpy and loud IS350. On the track it really all comes together when you can run her above 4k rpm in every gear you use

Thanks bud. Im trying to learn as much as I can. I am feeling like the wheels and tires really helped me jump to the next level. I can see the increased speed in the videos. I will try to compare my lap times from when I was stock vs with the new wheels and tires

Here is the photo of us at the start of the session . I kept him behind me for over 7:00 min. Also notice how far ahead the Porsche was at the start . And that Porsche was trailered in because it was on slicks . I rolled in on street tires .

F !!!!

Looks like a great time out. I wish I was there with you. My season ended in October and the car is now away and it looks like yours just started. Funny how it goes, winter sucks! Keep representing out there, great job.

Thanks buddy. I LOVE watching your videos on youtube man. You got some skills in your F. The last one you ran with the dude in the Vette was badass. That track was so cool and wide.

Trouble is that will mean yet more money I need to find to pay for more track orientated mods! Lol.

Saying that, the current setup will probably do quite well I think.

Got the F sport rear sway bar, BC BR coilovers with Swift springs, RR-Racing USRS, RR-Racing AOS, Cusco front strut brace.....

Hoping to add LSD, two piece front discs, and headers.

Just need to win the lottery or rob a bank to pay for it all!

Looks like lots of fun!
WOW Peter. That is an ambitious mods list. I am pretty damn stock compared to all of that lol. Dont let the mods delay you buddy. Just do it and add the mods as you can

Man, I finally got a chance to watch your sessions! Looking great out there my friend!! You're running with the big boys and showing them the 'F' up. I can't wait to get back on the track next year, looks like Torxuvin and I will be doing Barber in February for the first outing of the year.

How are the ado8r holding up? I have a set in the garage keeping warm for the winter, discount tire had a huge online sale that I couldn't pass up pricing, haha!

Thanks Zach. I appreciate it man. They have been amazing. I can not believe the difference they have made. My entry and exit speeds are significantly higher , there is never any squealing from the tires, No TCS light EVER, and they stick like glue. They hold so well that I am fighting to stay in my seat. I have to push against the B pillar when I am making a right and I am holding the wheel for support when I make a left. You can tell they are much softer than the PSS by how they wear after each session but they are so dry grip focused its insane . So happy I decided to move up tot he extreme performance category.

Thats great you got a deal on them. I heard about discounttiredirect.com . They have even better pricing than discount. Is that where you got them. I think I might be sticking with this tire for a while unless it gets stupid loud as it ages.
