My buddy Marc (Sohconthis) and I decided to try out our cars on a road course on Friday. It was both our first times at an actual track and we had a great time! HPR is a 2.5 mile course with 15 turns and even has a corkscrew similar to the one at Laguna Seca, (A hard downward sloping left-right-left immediately after a blind hill crest) which caught me off guard one run causing me to spin out. Well here are some pics and video.

And here are some of the other cars there that day.

 

looks like a blast man

 

What's with the orange wheels and colored headlight film?

 

Well I bought those wheels to throw some stickier tires on and they were mismatched. Two were polished (poorly) and two were silver. So I just painted them orange since I was only using them for track/autocross.

And the headlight was just an extra I had laying around. I gutted the projector and added a little PVC reducer (3" to 2.5" i think) and cut a hole in the lens. Then I just painted it clear-ish purple to make it cool looking lol.

 

gawd this was so much fun! lmao @ the camera in the car on my run! :-D

 

you love 350z wheels, onejay lol jk.. Looks like a great time!

 

Hell ya 350z wheels fit so well!

And here's a better pic of the headlight scoop.

 

Damn looks like so much fun great way to use ur SC man nice

 

Dude it was awesome! Puts all those mods you bust your *** to do to good work. And Brian where is our super awesome superhero picture? Lmao

 

Those orange wheels are sick!!

They really pop and say look over here!

 

Awesome, good to hear you had a great time. What alignment settings did you end up with? We definitely must hit up the track once you're back in norcal.

 

I'll post the superhero pic later. It looks like I'm trying real hard to take a crap in it though.

For my alignment I went with -2.5º in front, -2.0º in the rear, 0 toe all around, and had them max out my caster. The car went from wanting to understeer all over the place, to having a neutral feel and even pushing toward a little oversteer. I tried to downshift during a hard corner and ended up fishtailing and almost losing it lol. Now I'm kind of rethinking putting in my rear sway bar.

And we definitely will hit one up! I leave this Friday and I'll probably get out there on Sunday. Only thing is though, is that I don't think I'll be able to bring the orange wheels with the RT615's. I'm definitely bringing one as a spare, and maybe another if I have room, so maybe I'll be able to switch out my crappy front nexens or something.
