Haven't seen that screen name in a long time Nate!

Here's mine at NHMS a few months ago.



Bought the car last October with 24k on the clock, and the intentions of tracking it. Ive put ~3k miles on it since then and over 1k of them have been on the track.

Mods:
AMS bolt-ons (intake, intercooler, ic piping, widemouth DP)
Tomei ExpremeTi exhaust
Synergy Auto Lab midpipe to meet the DB requirements of some local tracks
Swift spring, Perrin sway bars and Whiteline end links
ST43 pads up front, ST42 pads in the rear, SS lines, Superblue fluid
Schroth Rallye 3 harnesses
Work Emotion CR-KAi wheels with 265 Direzzas

Winter plans:
Nitron coil overs
Fixed back seats
Roll bar
5 point harnesses

Ive also got a set of 275 BFG Rivals and Girodisc 2 piece rotors (front and rear) waiting the death of the Direzzas and stock rotors.

 

With everyone posting videos lately, anyone think we should get a track video thread sticky?

Here's my fastest lap of the weekend at VIR with NASA-MA this past weekend. No where near as fast as Joe's Filthy Evo, but it's all I could muster on street tires and stock suspension the first time there (excuses, excuses). Any tips from y'all are welcomed.

 

That would be an awesome idea! Nice lap btw!


Here's my fastest lap from Lime Rock Park with NASA North East. The car was much more of a handful this session due to over-inflated C91's. My plan was to dial in pressures this session, and give it hell in the last session, but NASA decided to drop our last TT session.


The previous record was a 59.4, which I was able to drop by over 2 seconds on 265.35.18 Hankook TD's to a 57.2 on Saturday. The following day, I was able to go a little bit quicker - on the over-pressured C91's - and run a 56.4! This is the new TTU Track Record! So stoked!


This was my first time at Lime Rock, but I'll be back in September with NARRA to try and go even faster!

 

Video from this past weekend Autocross with Birmingham,AL SCCA region . The only thing ( not a car really, its a big go cart) faster than US was a Formula 500!!! pretty excited about that. finished 2nd and 3rd overall. C

Imported the car completely stock in late 2011 from UK to Sweden (besides that it had a few engin upgrades, exhaust, remapped and fuel pump)
Pics from when it was stock:




My intentions where never to use it as a complete track car. But things change, and I started to use the car at smaller autocross events in 2012, and now she is only used for Time attack events and autocross!

Future:
Going for a complete new fuel system from Nuke Performance (e85) plus a safe remap for the engine.
After testting her to the limits this year I realized I don't need so much more power, I need more grip!
So, new bushings everywhere in the chassi, new brake rotors in the rear. Maybe a few more stabilizing bars under the car.
Try to loose some more weight (1340kg right now, 1/3 tank plus driver) Would be nice with a 12**kg number.

Some pics from this year so far:
















She was used as a camera car for Onroaders.com at the Gatebil Rudskogen event, following drifting cars for some cool action shots!

Nicely done!! C
