track day pics

at mission raceway 06/18. Was quite a bit of fun - looking forward to getting out there again, although I have some work to do on my brakes. :)















thanks to thephotonerd for the pics - he's not on this site but giving credit where it's due, this guy takes pics of all the UBCSCC events!

I have video too, I'll post the last session later. I also nailed a bird at about 60mph, poor thing looked me straight in the eye before I hit him dead on.. I don't know what happened to him either, I never saw anything but a puff of feathers in my rear view. :rofl:

no, really! it's a replica from eurostyle - probably better quality than the real one.

oh ic. how did u remove the stock mounts for the is lip.

they're just plastic clips, they pop right out. I'm using the stock mounting holes.

i'm going to go cry now.

its been far too long since I was on track with my sterling 4 door

take the touring :p

there was a volvo wagon there - pretty funny. he was doing pretty well though. I also got dusted by an Audi R8 - those things are insane. The only cars that passed me were an E46 M3, LS1 powered RX7 (faaast) and an R-comped Miata. I never did catch that pesky S2000 though..

let me know what you do with the brakes.

I feel like my abs kicks in way to early. maybe i just need an alighnment. how much toe do you run? i believe i have a bad wheel sensor also.. might be why...

[nando]

I set my toe to zero - never had touble with the ABS kicking in early though.
