Very cool Hayden.

Do you have any recent side shots of the car. What have you done to it so far as far as mods and suspension upgrades.

Post some pics bro!

thanks Rob -- and to think the amount of tracks in Ohio...u could be doing this..
Simple set up--
for suspension Koni SA's, Ireland Engineering Stage III springs, IE camber Plates up front, Rear aluminium Shock mounts, rear spring pad delete, M3 offset control arm bushings, wheels 15x7 et 37 w 20mm spacers on Falken RT-615 Azenis 205/50 and some good ol' tire pressure adjsmnts.
stock sways f&r
of course, new control arms and tie rods and a good alignment with lots of negative camber..

always room for more --

I have honestly looked into it. We have Mid-Ohio which from what I hear is flat out wicked. We also have Beaver Run in PA which I am also told is awesome.

Both these tracks are about 1-2 hours away from where I live.


When I get the car back on the road I may try out a few track days to see if it really does interest me. The Drag Racer in me tells me no but, I need to give it a shot before I rule it out.

[P10FTW]

Looks like mad fun. I need to get my P10 out on a real track, but money pwns me.

well, Moroso takes me 1 1/2 hour with car on trailer & Sebring is 2 1/2
hours away.
Imagine instead of 1 hour pit wait & 1 min of excitemnt @ 1/4 mile track.. depending on how busy the track is...
i'll never knock drag racing.. but, i get to sink all 3 pedals down to the floor, all my arm strength, use mental courage and develop a stronger nut sack.
u must try this..

P10's make great track cars -- haven't seen any locally but they have all the right bits & parts-- just kinda plump-- nothing a
good gutting can't solve

Looks like alot of fun Hayden, btw i still have that miata sitting in my backyard.

Congratulations on the sign off to HPDE2!!!! Good job!!!!!

For those wanting to get into HPDE 1. Watch the website like a hawk beginning the week after an event is over (that means now). As soon as they open up registration, sign up. HPDE 1 is limited by the number of instructors available so if they have only 10 instructors voluteering, that means that there are only 10 HPDE 1 spots. This is why they fill up so quickly.

For more pictures of the weekend, you can go to www.cadenis.com
He is a photographer that was at the event. Look for my Civic in the racers qualifying and race 1/2 on both days.

[slick92gs-r]

that should be-->> www.cedenis.com

the Bimmer is in H1&H2 section

sorry, i do remember BOTH the nissans & their drivers at the entire event, but they were always behind me !!! :pat:

those other cars in the pics should be considered as lap traffic, ok?

[M.A.R.C.]
