Perfect day indeed. It was cool but sunny. I spent half the day trying to get the car to grip though >_>. It was a little upsetting, I couldn't plant the rear coming out of corners. I might need to work on my suspension setup. When I was following Sasha for those 2 laps, I realized how a car should sit coming out of a corner. I would follow his line exactly and he would be planted powering out of a corner while I was going sideways on the same line.

I may have to go to thisa one

 

Cool wird wish I could have made it.

^Dude welcome back!!!

 

thanks man... good to be back. 32 hours of air travel is suckage.

 

It's sayin SUNNY for Sunday. Who's in btw?

 

Hmm, to save my tires for Mosport or not.

thewird

 

i think im going to skip it, i'm just to busy and trying to get money together for other projects.

just a heads up thu right now at Canadian tire they have a impact drill that plugs in to your cars lighter socket for $35 bucks! which is so much cheaper than the 279 dollar cordless impact iv been eying up. swapping around tires with an impact is so much easier cuts the time in half.

 

I probably won't go to this one unless there's a handful of 8s going :D but my bro and i are eyeing on Mosport coming up :D if only we can get the helmets in time x-X

 

Nate - Think I know one you are talking about...POS!! I tried 4 of them trying to find a good one. Give it a try maybe a different type.

 

Ok screw tires, I'm coming. I'll buy a new set for Mosport . The weather is looking too good and the car will have all winter to rest.

yeah i have broken to many bones this summer i realized it wasn't the tracking that was ******* up my back for days afterwards it was the changing the damn tires, ill work something out eventally i just think im done for this year. i need new brake rotors and dont feeling like rushing and buying oem when i can just order some nice 2 piece online

 

Booo nate...it's gonna be nice tomorrow, was looking forward to doing some laps with you on your ra1s and me on r1s.

 

Good track day lots of nice rides. Good to see you thewird. Man the NSX is fast!! Love R1s btw

 

so were you able to pass some cars that were normally unpassable? lol

 

^lol....I would say so...they are damn good! I haven't done the long track before so my lines def weren't on. Looked like a lot of the guys run ra...so they were going pretty well. Would have been good if you could have made it out. Wasn't getting passed much at all lol.

But man the NSX is FAST!

 

Was definitely a good day. Was having some fun until my 3rd gear decided to strip at about 4 PM for the 2nd time this year. Nice meeting you too Thumper and thanks for that tie strap hehe. Did you find out where your oil was coming from yet?

thewird

 

next season my friend i promise

i've been to shannonville and ran long many times i feel at very much at home with it and just love passing "faster" cars.

 

2nd time damn, cause you are going to fast lol. That sucks! Do you fix it yourself? NP glad it worked. It's at mazdamark's right now getting looked at. But from some others that have had the same kind of problem, under the same kind of situation (track), looks like it could be the front seal on the eccentric shaft and or the OMP copper gasket. Waiting to hear. Thanks for taking a look!

BTW - what do you use to track your laps?

Sounds good Nate! There was one other black 8 there, he was pretty quick and shooting tons of fireballz lol.

 

I use a GPS lap timer to time my laps. The black RX-8 was definitely fast and the driver wasn't bad either. Running a turbo by the sounds of it.

thewird

 

You mind sharing what GPS lap timer? kind/make/where you got it? plz! Want to add it to my xmas list

Ya he was pretty good. Was gonna try and go for a few laps with you, but you were always on course and when not, not for very long and I was stuck looking for oil lol.

oh and btw they found the leak...eccentric shaft seal urg...but covered

 

Starlane athon GPS. Yah, I was on and off a lot because I trying to setup my suspension and tire pressures. Rather trying new things.

thewird

 

I think that Quincy with the Greddy Turbo...black Rx8 with mazdaspeed front right?

 

thx thewird.

Ya that would be it Kafka...no wonder why he was quick.
