I went to the track yesterday. They also had go karts and bikes there and we alternated turns on the road track. They also had a slomon and u turn set up in the skid pad so that u could run the whole time. People were allowed to ride with others so I got to ride in a Lotus which was very small for two people to fit in it pulled 1.06 gs. I also rode in the Evo pulled 1.05 gs and the Vette, these two I got to drive also. They are all 3 very nice cars. I got to hear my car for the first time in which I was very happy with the sound (AEM cai and motoria catback) and I pulled .98 gs. I really want to break 1 g. Do you guys think sway bars could push me over the 1 g mark? I could probally break 1 g on another track (the landing stip is very sticky, we do autoxs there also). There were also alot of Subys there, and 2 miatas one of which is getting 250 whp and is having another engine bulit for him right now that should get 350. The other Miatia did some drifting which was interesting wall of smoke 20 ft tall, Ive never seen in real life before. I dont think its really a thing for me to do anyways though. This was in Jacksonville.

O yea this one guy asked was that noise was when this Suby shifted ad hes like its turbo dude.

thats a really good lateral g number for what you have, sway bars would DEFINATELY push you over the mark.

The setup of the suspension was 40 psi up front 38 in the back. H&R springs and GR-2 struts, front and rear strut bars, Falcon Azenies 215 which is not the newest version but the ones right before it 205/50/15. Stock wheels and some weight reduction. I have 4 point harnesses too.

That's cool that you got to try those cars. I would love to test drive the Lotus. And the EVO is the only woman I would leave my Tib for.

I wish there were road courses near where I live. There probably are, I just need to find them. Sway bars will make a HUGE improvement in the handling abilities of your car man. I bet getting a wider wheel (7.5" or so) and tire would also be a big help in the grip department. wink1.gif
