SubyDude555 Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 Got a double din HVAC and Pioneer HU recently thanks too 12sechatch. Also ordered some front and rear Polk components, Kenwood 5 channel amp, and a 1.2 farad cap. Going to get a subwoofer too but will be doing a custom setup in the trunk so not sure what size to get yet. Going to do get some interior pieces carbon and flat black wrapped as well so everything matches. http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt49/SubyStud555/CIMG1609_zps6bb27abd.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subiefool Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 have you thought about going toa smaller front mount? it looks like there is allot of intercooler that is hidden behinde the bumper cover that your turbo has to compress that isnt doing you any good, pleas correct me if I'm wrong but that could help reduce boost lag?

I don't think they make a rear one anymore so you will have to keep watching for a used one to show up in the for sale threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearing all your track stories today brought back lots of good memories of my track days in Japan. During my drive home today I felt a desire to track my car and haven't felt that since my last track day 6 years ago. I will check the schedule at the Ridge and let you know, then all I need to do is buy a helmet and I will be ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a small or medium (can't remember), black rubber coating, and a small scrape on the lower left side. It's not legal for racing, but should fine for lapping days. PM if you want to try it. Turn 2 has a ridge day on May 4. And they are going to ORP this coming weekend. Porsche club will be at Ridge on May 3, too.

I still have the helmet I used in Japan but its a motorcycle helmet, will it be ok for lapping days? May 3rd is my b-day and the wife already made plans for that weekend so it will have to be after that. When is the next track you are planning on doing?

boxkita Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 most clubs require a snell 2005 helmet or higher. M2005 will depend on the club. Porsche only allows SA2005+ or K2005+. All clubs/Turn2 offers rentals (be sure to note it on the registration). Weekend following, I'll be racing at Pacific (May 11). There is a HPDE /lapping day scheduled for May 10 (Friday). My intent is to attend that one, too. I dont yet have the details on the HPDE day, but I think its thru the IRDC club. May 10 IRDC is for fully-prepped race cars...so Chump, but not street driven Spec B's. Looks like the next weekend: May 17(Fri) will be Turn 2 at Ridge and May 18-19 at Bremerton with Audi Club (autox practice or driver skils on Sat, and HPDE on Sun); will be the best option. The Audi Club weekend is a good time (last year, I did 43 runs on the AutoX course). Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubyDude555 Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 This was my WRX that I tracked at Highland Raceway in Sendai, Japan.

boxkita Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 ^^^ nice car. I like the garages at the track. Supposedly, those are coming to the ridge. For Ridge days, you're best bet is with a club. Porsche club runs a really good program. The BMW club shares instructors with Porsche, except they have less days. Audi has their own instructors, tho, I don't know when they will have another Ridge day. If you're going to join one club, join Audi. It gets you into the Porsche club events. Proformance and Hooked on Driving (HOD) run classes/lapping at the Ridge. Having not been with either at the Ridge, I won't comment. There is a Porsche day coming up on May 3 - https://www.motorsportreg.com/index.cfm/event/event.advert/uidEvent/A389B78D-A901-D7E4-88A30AF3FC386A77 And another one on May 22 - https://www.motorsportreg.com/index.cfm/event/event.advert/uidEvent/A3C65346-BC9E-6EDA-E572B730C7451382 The Turn 2 Lapping days require you to have been signed off solo by a local club before coming to your first event. However, if you have a "lapping" resume that is verifiable, call Turn 2 and see what they say. Regardless, if you are interested in lapping/track/race events (not chump), you'll need a free motorsportreg.com account. Its free to sign up and becomes your online resume of driving events as you go along. The Marque clubs will require a tech inspection before you go on track. Outback Auto or any other shop should be able to do this as part of a "21-point" inspection. Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
