James? thats a video of your car? Bwillow gets that green? where is that?

I thought I saw that video a long time ago in different context did not know if was you.

Jung918 · 01-02-2008, 06:38 PM

just found the video on another site. thought it was funny and posted it.

Nikeboy355 · 01-02-2008, 06:59 PM

That video chasing the Mustang isn't from Buttonwillow Raceway...

It's a track in Iowa called MidAmerican Motorplex or something...

Excuse my ignorance....to attend an event like this, what is required..

helmet, etc....

Are roll bars and/or harnesses required?

airbags??

fire-proof jackets?

I really wanna do something like this...not really sure where to go...I live in Jersey

*tacotacotaco* · 01-03-2008, 10:42 PM

just a certified helmet. and a car that at least has its stock restraining system. No cage airbags fire proof jackets required. And make sure your car isnt leaking or in a state of about to fall apart

Nikeboy355 · 01-04-2008, 12:16 AM

That day airbags would have been a nice thing to have when going through Lost Hill...

Haha... Just kidding...

steve shadows · 01-04-2008, 08:28 PM

I put an ATS 1.5 way in my car

johngriff · 01-04-2008, 09:11 PM

I just renewed my license.

They sprung an 18 question test on me, which i aced.

But, never really owning any cars with airbags, this question threw me.

12. When driving a vehicle with airbags, you are safest when seated:

*At least 10 inches away from the steering wheel
*Within 6 1/2 inches of the steering wheel
*With you head directly positioned above the steering wheel

First correct answer get Pos Rep.

I wear sunglasses when I drive, I am always scarred an airbag will break the lens into my eye.

murda-c · 01-04-2008, 09:24 PM

at least 10 inches away

though chin on wheel would be interesting.

johngriff · 01-04-2008, 10:27 PM

woot!

I wish we had more events like this on the east coast.

I haven't even been able to make it to anything at summit point like i meant to this past year.

projectdrifter · 01-05-2008, 11:00 PM

sideview_180sx · 01-06-2008, 04:17 AM

Random question asking. So nitin are you going to do the evo/sti brembo upgrade. Also with a mild cam and a retune. i'm sure your car could get into at least 2:09. I been look at Rob's site (maxrev) and i'm astounded at essentially stock engine and alotta suspension and brakes what his s2k has done. is that a similar direction you are wanting to go with the s13??

Absolutely that is my direction and I've learned a lot from Rob(Maxrev) and Tim (Stinkytofu)... For those who don't know, these guys are some of the fastest local drivers who always clock the fastest lap times with only stock S2000 engines... Every event we went to last year, their times were in the top fastest 5% of the cars out there... regardless of horsepower and cost... As well as they have multiples placings in Time Attack last year in an Evo, Fit, and a couple of S2000s...

http://www.maxrev.net/

My goal is to work up to 200-250WHP in my car and see if I can learn to drive as well as them... Then enter Street Class RWD class for Time Attack...

We think my car can do 2:09 right now and two events ago we clocked a 2:11 but I want to make the car 2:00 capable for next year...

The first Buttonwillow event is the second week of April and by then my car will have:
1. Cams (BC 264s)
2. ECU retune (maybe put the car on E85 since it's a track only car)
3. SPL RUCA (I want to lower the rear camber)
4. Voltex wing (Like the Dentsport S13)
5. 4.6 final drive
6. Helical LSD

And let's see how close we can get to 2:05... Preferably me driving the car also...

sideview_180sx · 01-07-2008, 08:59 PM

have the BC 264 cams been used in an NA setup... I'm curious as to what type of gains would be seen. Since PDM distributes Colt cams. I forgot some other company was selling what were essentially Nismo and Jim Wolf cams.

Hey nitin I have the ikeya formula front LCAs. you know those would help.

Nikeboy355 · 01-08-2008, 12:17 PM

Here are some great pics from Katman... enjoy!...

a_ahmed · 01-15-2008, 01:46 PM

Awesome thread! Awesome pix!

Aw man, you guys in the states have so many great tracks. The closest track here is almost 4 hours and it sucks and is small plus its winter now.

steve shadows · 01-15-2008, 03:17 PM

I took the car out for a spin this past weekend around a couple local test corners and the lsd made a world of difference. I think the suspension is actually quite capable now that I have the 1.5 way in the [email protected]

Daryl · 01-15-2008, 05:58 PM

Whatup Steve! Damn I want a 1.5way diff too but I'll probably run my OEM diff. until it blows or warranty no longer covers it. I gave Nit the clip where you rode with me. He should be uploading it any minute.

n2motorsports · 01-15-2008, 09:00 PM

anyone know how that z4 do out there? was it the m?

my friend has one and let me loose on some of the local runs down here, that thing has some awesome handling, but you'd expect that for 55k.

*!Zar!* · 01-15-2008, 09:06 PM

What happened to that yellow s2000?

Loose it's wheel studs or what?

autobahNESSA · 01-15-2008, 09:49 PM

An evo hit it.

Nikeboy355 · 01-23-2008, 04:54 PM

Here's a video from that day of Daryl's S2000 on Simon's 997 GT3's ass...
Steve Shadows was the lucky one in the passenger seat...
