my quickest from yesterday - i took off my autox set (18x9.5 265/35 rt615k+) and ran my track set (evo x enkei 18x8.5, 245/40 RS4s) to break in the tires & new pads (st43s) before the track day. The narrower wheels & tires had a noticeable drop off in grip compared to the autox set, was squirmy the first few runs (prob release mold, stickers were still on the car) and overall didn't feel particularly amazing. my lines were a little more off than usual, I'm assuming to the grip difference. I'll be back on the autox set for the next event!

Honestly only 1 and that was someone who over drove the car really hard and understeered off into the grass right after the turn around. Nobody really had issues with going into the turn around. The pavement doesn't drop off like some other air strips if you go into the grass so maybe they allowed it to be a little closer to the edge.

After raising the front of my car to have a neutral rake, it handles so much better. Car is more neutral/oversteer instead of understeer. I might actually move my rear sway bar from the middle position to lower stiff setting.

I actually enjoy the feel/characteristic of the R-S4 over the 615k+. It feels like it likes to slide a little, but not sliding where it's over the edge and losing grip but sliding and still maintaining maximum grip. Hard to explain... I'm not the biggest fan of the first run on it tho, def needs a good quick first run to get em going.

A few of my runs from the NJ ProSolo a few weeks ago in S2 and got slapped around left/right by Davis's CSP Miata (turn off the sound as my external mic didn't work as it should have....lol)

^ i started using a wind muffler on my gpro, it's worked really well so far
i broke the driver's side lower strut bolt which made the camber go nuts, wheel to strut body contact last event. wheel looks extremely curbed up on the inside and the lower set of threads on the ohlins that aren't used anyway. mostly cosmetic damage but still kind of sucks.. ordered all new bolts & camber bolts from the stealer & put the car together for an event on sunday. held up pretty well. hopefully good for my hpde/track day on friday:

I normally use an external microphone that I put in the trunk for my video, but my GoPro (which is about on par with the reliability of the Evo) took a crap and I had to revert to my back up cameras (Yi 4+) that is absolutely crap because the sound is awful and the external microphone didn't work for some reason....urghh....

Got 2nd quickest time of the day. Guess my only complaint is low speed understeer. Mid speed is a lot more neutral and will 4 wheel slide and I just gas to keep it in check. Any recommendations to help with low speed understeer?

The track guys use AIM Solo (obviously a whole lot more expensive), but I wonder how those work in autox settings.

Here's one of my FTD runs now that the car is done. I'm running FP, but will be reinstalling carpet and door panels to go to SM and actually do well in PAX also. Car has been FTD or second RAW every event since the engine/turbo/driveline build was completed. 515whp is kind of a pain to handle though and the 275 Hoosiers are overwhelmed. 295s coming after summer break.
