That is some great driving bro!

 

All the car clubs (PCA, Audi & BMW) I run with are strict about convertibles. I think it is imposed by the tracks I go to but I don't remember for sure. PCA is a good group to run with - they are the most lenient with passing rules in the advanced groups. I find that there are egos to deal with in all the clubs but the p-car guys are slower to give the pass signal if you are driving a different brand.

 

there's also thunderhill. chk the calendar's on those places, they usually list when the open track days are & just get a hold of the guy throwin it that day & ur in there..

to the OP, great vid....

Hey Everyone,

Thanks for all the encouraging comments and hope folks have had a change to get out on track and give it a go. Latest update from my end, please to say i finally Solo qualified with Driver's Edge running with the yellow run group now. No more joking around and keeping up with Lambos anymore, the driver's now are pretty dialed in....here's my humbling first yellow solo; very happy to have caught a GT3.

Good job!

 

Looks good. Keep up the good work and vids. Have you done any mods to your evo since your last vid?

 

Hey Thanks!

Actually i've done a bunch of mods since my initial attempts in the Green run groups. Mostly practical stuff, the car has enough power for my ability level at the moment;

First Harnesses to keep from moving around so much, this made a huge difference in that you don't fight to keep in place and you really get smoother as a result; I went with the DOT Approved Rallye 4 ASM, and ofcourse the stock belts are still in the car.

Next I wasn't hitting shiftpoints that well because i couldn't hear/feel the car so well, so i got a progressive shift light indicator from traqmate;

....and for better sound/vibration the magnaflow catback;

At 6000k I replaced my OEM tires with the Advan Neova AD08; which i've done about 4 weekend on so far and am very happy with;

Finally I had towhooks fitted on the front and rear....there are no virgins out there i'm afraid ;

That's it for the moment. I can't stress enough what a huge improvement the harnesses and shift light indicator have been.

 

Great video. Once again we see the huge bang for the buck that we get in an Evo.

 

Thanks!

Yes; fully agree with you; for the money this car is downright incredible. Not only in terms of performance, but also quality of the driving experience. The EVO has totally brought me back to being in amazement of what the Japanese achieve with automobiles and eager to discover more....

Every weekend I have folks asking me what mods/upgrades i have done to the engine and suspension. They are typically shocked when i tell them I've only changed out the cat-back!!!

 

look at NCRC ,they have a lot events in norcal

btw nice video

 

smoking everyone

 

nice

 

Hey Guys,

Well the fun has continued on Track. I've bumped up a couple run groups since that Lambo vid 10 months ago and still having a blast. Still highly recommend it to any car enthusiast but just a health warning....it's highly addictive and your maintenance costs will increase...substantially

Back in May i ran a weekend at MSR Cresson near Dallas (1.7m CW). One particular run stood out as a Cayman S came up behind me and motivated me to hang with him. I was particularly happy with my Evo's performance; the cayman had some track prep work done to it and running on R-compounds. I was on my new Advan Neova AD08's street tires (my second set...)

Hope you enjoy the vid; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAdm9b4Ffak

Cheers!

 

It's proof positive that the car is only a third of the equation; the driver and the road are equally important. The Lamborghini has twice the horsepower at least, but the Evolution stays with it because there isn't enough straight road to pull away and because the driver's not good enough to make use of what he's got.

 

awesome man kept up well
