This yr is my first yr driving at the track. Those videos are my last track event of the yr...most likely. I have been to this track about 5 times.

My car has, cat deleted pipe, mazdaspeed sport shocks, springs, sway bars. removed rear seats, and most of the stuff in the trunk. 235/40/18 bridgestone re050a all around.

Let me know what do u guys think, and how can i go faster?

nice work. You were showing a bit of understeer on the most lowspeed right in the segment however.

As far as things to help, seriously put some thought into coilovers the rates just aren't aggressive enough on the Mazdaspeed components. Also a lightweight flywheel will make it a bit easier and more than likely quicker as you are mainly using 2nd gear. Stainless clutch lines and brake lines are also fantastic modifications. Are you running on the stock pads? I can't imagine so, but I would recommend replacing those as well as the fluids. Finally I'd recommend some RPF1's 18x9.5 with some 275s on them. That will be your true light and day right there.

Keep up the good work!

Oh yeah...totally forgot, i have pbr ceramic with RB slot and drilled rotors at the front, rear still stock. i do have ss clutch line too.

yeah....i did many times alignment already, front camber is max out at -1.50", rear is -1.30" or -1.40" around there, but still getting understeer.

i did think about wider tires, but then my friend says it can also makes my car respond slower.....so i was thinking trying something more sticky first, and see how it feel....i m thinking RT615....um.....

my friend got those on ebay, it's like a big suction cup. I have to mount the camera upside down. Then flip it back with software in my computer.

I use RT615s, one of the best investments I ever made into the car.

in which video?? well, coz they let us out one by one, so we don't really catch up to other cars. It's a timeattack event, so that would affect both car's time (the guy passing, as well as the guy being pass). So, sometimes have to wait in the pit with car running, might as well listen to some music to relax...hahaha
