I had a lot of fun on sat. good seeing some of the guys out there that I haven't seen in awhile. the azenis actually held up pretty decent in that cold ass weather. hehe.

xpertsnowcarver · 12-02-2009, 12:56 PM

I have a video up as well. According to my friends, My best time was a 1:32.3

Paul2x · 12-02-2009, 01:24 PM

Sweet vid and drifts Ray, cool battle between you and Vanessa. and check out Nessa with the late braking! lol Damm.

p.s My car was about 300-320hp that day, only had it at .8bar to keep her stright

xpertsnowcarver

I love your car, sick build!

I had no idea. I thought you were SR the whole time out their. Autech S13 build FTW, So awesome! I'm pretty bumbed I didn't come by and say hi and check out your car.

Thanks for posting that, you have great taste!

xpertsnowcarver · 12-02-2009, 02:15 PM

lol. Thank you. I am SR, but no turbo.

I was too hesitant to meet every person, since it was my first time. People had more than one set of tires, tools and jacks at hand, and talking to amongst themselves. I didn't know how to approach. I didn't have any of that, lol.

allmotorking · 12-02-2009, 02:22 PM

hey man,

i met you and your dad on sat. i was in the red m3 along w/ the other live sockets yahoos next to you. haha.

xpertsnowcarver · 12-02-2009, 02:46 PM

Hi Twee (I apologize if I have your name incorrect or spelled it incorrectly). Yea, my father was not reluctant at all in introducing himself. I didn't know the other also worked with you.

I was just watching the 'Bugatti vs Lake' video on your website. lol. Looks like lake wins.

you car sounds so good... you look pretty good out there for your first time out...

don't be hesitant to meet every person... I usually meet the nicest people in events like this than anywhere else... did you only drive the Saturday event?

Besides my tools, I too only has one set of wheels which is what I drove up there with and drove home with... which is also the same set i drive on everyday to and from work....

Sorry paul, I was not sure how much power you were pushing, driftspeed told me it was around 400hp when they tuned it but i just remembered now that you did drop the boost to keep her straight..

Your driving skill makes you look like you were pushing 400+hp... lol...

xpertsnowcarver · 12-02-2009, 03:04 PM

Thanks. Yes, I only attended Saturday. By the time the day was over, I wanted to attend Sunday, but I ran out of money.

I'll have to dedicate myself to meet everyone at the next event, which I look forward to participating in.

lol np i was just messin.

Koji was the man and did pull 403hp on his dyno and 378 tq at 1.25 but never got around to it at the track. Tried 1.0 even and that still was tough to handle on corner exits. Would have been nice to have a scramble button for the strights though =)

Sweet build though. I'll be sure to swing by next time I see you out.

turbocrazy07 · 12-02-2009, 05:40 PM

I gotta agree with xpertsnowcarver, I should have gone around to meet some people but was a little shy with it being my first track day and feeling like a noob watching people and their trailers. Definitely will have to do otherwise next time, met Tom tho- super chill guy.

Massimo Power · 12-02-2009, 05:57 PM

It was a very very fun day... glad i couold attend...

I think ill be in the market for an s chassis soon...

I run in the high 20's/low 30's with my "street" tires. I would talk to the hankook boys if I was you because that is exactly opposite of everything that I know about tire pressures.

Congrats on the time, that's some commendable driving and car set-up. I wanna see a time sheet in the teens though... That is honestly my eventual goal at SOW CW.

That is what I was thinking also . I was gonna ask if the said presures were hot or cold?? Just to be clear before I say something.

S14Cuhh · 12-02-2009, 09:39 PM

whoa . watching joels video the s-turn after the back straight was resurfaced?
thats good. their was a scary hole there

You really need to work on your shifting and rev matching imo. Thats probably why you were having clutch issues.

Edit: roll your fenders too

Fenders are rolled. I raised the car and purchased stiffer sway bars to increase the spring rate to avoid rubbing the fender or top of the wheel-well, but I still have a considerable amount of roll. I may replace the front springs for 9kg springs.
Clutch is made of Kevlar. Don't really care about it over heating or glazing. I was intentionally shifting quickly just to get the quickest lap time I could. I'll be getting a carbon clutch kit soon.

I value your input; thank you.

junkyiv · 12-03-2009, 08:02 AM

That hole is still there. I dropped a tire into it 2nd to last session on Sunday. OOPS! I'm really glad
to hear that you all had a good time. That's really what its all about. Perhaps if the interest keeps up
we can do more events in 2010. What say you all!?

You made a hole on the track Tom??? Eh, no wonder I couldn't get a faster lap time! hahaha j/k =P

I 2nd the notion of doing more grip events- Maybe make it a semi-annual thang with one in the Spring and the other in the fall.

Oh and wanted to thank Driftday and Naoki and of course, you Tom for putting on the event! Was sooo much fun and wouldn't hesitate to do it again.

I have this desire to go faster at SOW because of Mr. Johnson posting a 1:30 KA time, haha. Something to look up to and shoot for. =)
