Cool. The action shots of the G look just like GT4...or is that the other way around?

Any recommendations on suspension setups after your track experience?

 

That was my coupe - me driving. We had a great time.

Derek - you didn't tell me about the 'Z Zone' at Road America!?!? What's that about man?


P Diddy - I am using a Tein Flex coilover kit with stiffer polyurethane bushings replacing the stock ones on the stock sway bars. I believe I was running a '10' setting on the front springs and a '15' setting on the EDFC most of the weekend (on a 0-to-32 scale, lesser means a more stiff spring rating.) I was getting compliments from everyone who rode in or saw the coupe handle - it is truly well-balanced after my tuner (Team Noble Racing) had it corner-weighted.

I'll be trying even stiffer settings (maybe '5' for the front, '10' for the rear) for smaller, more technical courses coming up like Blackhawk Farms and the Autobahn Country Club. I didn't want to set it up too stiff for such a fast course as Road America just yet - maybe I'll be ready for that demanding a setting next year.

Do you have anymore pics of the maroon 240z?

 

Great pics, Derek. I so wanted to join you guys, but I was getting my suspension worked on. Well, everything is on (control arms, traction, camber arms, Tokico D-specs), so let me know when the next trip is.

 

Awesome pics!

 

Hey!

We missed you Gil - Derek and I will be at the Chicago Lotus Corps HPDE at Blackhawk Farms Raceway in Rockton, Illinois on May 16th - a Monday. I don't know if they have any spaces left - if you're interested I can get you contact info.

I have to get some new rubber - my Ecsta MX's are pretty much worn to a nub after two straight weekends at the big track.

Blackhawk is a safer course than Road America - and there's also the new Autobahn course in Joliet. I'll be there in June and again maybe in July - it's *really* safe, a lot like Gingerman in Michigan with lots of run-off room. Good track to break into performance driving at!

I keep telling you to take a cruise around the track... its amazing! Also went to the corvette and BMW spots.

 

Seem to be several nice rides there!

 

Is that Road America? My coworker drove out for that track day. He has the red stock looking EVO . . . it's in one or two of your pics. I would have been there if my Mustang was ready.

 

looked like it was fun as hell! enjoyed the pics.... thanks for posting.
