My GD3 on track at the ITR 2011 expo

It was my first time with her on track. Did pretty well... just needs m0ar power!

Mods:
-progress RSB
-Toyo 888's (205/50/15)
-adjusted alignment (front camber bolts & toe adjustment)
-ATE brake fluid
-front end track use brake pads/rotors (from my '95 EX)
-front brake splash shields removed

Here is some in car camera footage (an EG with a V6 swap) that passed me (more like blew my doors off) after a few turns.

Here is a photo in the paddock (CMP).

moar info on the reason for taking off the splash shields, why? and did it help? you don't list if it's lowered, is it? if not why not? me and friends tracked our fit's two years ago and all of us were just on springs (and decent tires) and our "professional" driving instructors were beside themselves after driving the GD, they loved how it reacted in the corners and had almost NO body roll

either way keep up the track days - it'll keep you young!!!

here's a link to our days https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/utah...come-join.html

Removing the shields helps get more fresh/cool air to the front rotors to keep things safe. I can't say for sure that it helped... but with my ITR it made a huge difference.

OE springs as this is my DD and comfort is good.
