Today I tried to keep up with an NC Miata on rcomps through the canyons. That didn't go so well. I need to get those new wheels and tires asap. Also adding better brakes to the list of shit to do asap.
I'm not sure if I should do a track day on my current setup or not. Like, I feel the experience will be super valuable but at the same time I'm not so sure if there would be much of a point to spending ~$200 to do a proper track day on super shitty tires and brakes. Surely I will still be able to improve my skills on a decent set of tires and brakes. Nothing crazy, mind you... Just some RS3's and better street pads.

Honestly I built it just to have a place to sit and listen to Hotline Bling on repeat.
I drove aaron's 4 door 325i at the track, with some 15 wheels and decent tires it was fast, running about 2:23 at hpr. It was faster than my 2550 lb stripped/caged 318is. I think with a new timing belt, good condition brakes and suspension components it would do fine. I would get some summer tires for it though. Come in October to Emich track day with us, $80 for the whole day at hpr.
No one makes this car anymore. The government won't allow them, normal people won't buy them. So it's up to us: the freaks, the weirdos, the informed. To buy them, to appreciate them, and most importantly, to drive them.
