grand turismoNESS!!!

dope pics dude

 

jeez it looked like the event was sick. i knew i should have gone =[

 

Tacoma Washington..........mannnnn u can always be there to check out the events.

I am thinking to sign up for the early September's event(labor day long weekend for us). See if u wanna sign up for it too. It will be fun to have more Fit in the event.

I will post more pictures up after dinner!

 

No they're not fully adjustable. They're just normal shocks & springs setup. Another alternative for u is to get J's racing suspension kit from A&J. Valving will be a little different but u still get the supreme quality from SHOWA. I think they're running $860+tax here now? Man i guess u can't get a set of Koni with springs at that price.......

Koni doesn't know Honda vehicles as good as SHOWA that's for sure! SHOWA pretty much make all hydraulic parts for Honda for many years now.

 

Super loud M3 turbo:


Needless to say how fast it is for this....


AND this..........



Mint E36 M3....




Supercharged Miata with a super quick lady driver running against a nice RX8.....

 

A pretty cool picture that shows part of the back section of the road course. U can see a lil bit of turn#4, turn#5a-5b:

 

Nice pics! Were there any more comparable cars like xa/b/d or yaris at the track day?

I'm planning on getting over for the Labor Day event. What certifications do you need to run solo over there. Our BMW Club and Scott Adare host Friday at the Track in Spokane and they have instruction for newbies to the track to ensure they have basic track fundamentals before running solo.

Have you ever run in Spokane? I know it'd be a long drive but its a pretty fun high speed track.

 

I'm pretty sure u will need to go out with an instructor on your first event at Pacific Raceway. 2nd event they might send an instructor out with u for a session or so then after that u can go on to the road course by yourself. That's pretty much the way that Proformance does anyway. I'm not sure about what BMW/Alfa Romeo club do?

The most sub compact that I saw and ran with are the Fits from AJR, and my friend's Echo hatchback. Maybe I don't go there enough to see more?

 

Yeah, sounds pretty similar to SRP. Here the way it works is you go out with an instructor as a passenger in their car. Then the instructor drives your car with you as passenger. Then you drive with the instructor as passenger. That continues until they feel you are capable of tracking solo. It's pretty dependent on how quickly you learn here.

Well hopefully I'll be joining you in September.

 

Yeah hope I will see u there too. I'm pretty sure most of my friends with their civics/miata will be going to that event. So it's gonna be fun!

 

 

haha i have the same hfp axle back... man yall are lucky... we dont have any road courses around here to just go drive at =\

 

How was this compared to AutoX? Hope you had plenty of fun there. were you able to keep up with most of them?

 

That's not a HFP muffler. It's a SPOON sports type muffler. We only have a small local track here which is just like a parking lot. I have to drive 2.5hrs down to Pacific Raceway and I really don't mind coz it's just too fun.

1wayFit: Nah as u can see what there were out there, there's simply no comparison between my stock L15 Fit and a supercharged Miata, let alone a Porsche Carrera that shoots fireball out of it's tail pipe! It's ok though. It's not a race. Hopefully I can get my runs timed sometime in the future though. Then I would know how much I've improved through out the day that way.

 

amazing pictures
i need to start looking into these kind of events once i get the suspension tuned a bit more.

p.s. thanks for the info on the j's/showa parts i think i may go that route
