Default Hpde/wsir 02/16/07

Went to Willow Springs Raceway on Friday. Ran Streets of Willow. 1st off let me take the opportunity to thank: MoodDude for all your pointers, it really helped! Thanks to those that sold me parts and stuff (MRC for the RB big brake upgrade; Sharif@Forged for the Motul liquids; DirtyDave for the Greddy oil pan; TS for the ED; PerfNissan for the GTSpec bars; Mike@Quality motors for the help with all installs!) all this helped make it safer for the car.
One thing that I really should have done was, either get a good seat or a harness bar with harnesses...I din't realize how much I was "floating" around! I spent a lot of energy trying to stay in my seat, pretty tired after a 25min session!
Also had a rear suspension problem, rear had some bump steer issues that will have to be addressed before my next event. Unfortunately, the rear suspension on the JIC's are not adjustable without taking the strut out! Design flaw IMO.
I ran with an NSX group, there was one other Z there a DB roadster pretty stock.
So, stop the rambling right! here are some pics that one of the instructors took, and I'll try and post a link to a video of my car running later on.

thanks again to MoodDude for all your pointers and advice.

You can drill a hole in your strut tower bar to access the adjustable *****, many have done this before, including myself. Also, nice pictures. What was your best time?

adrianko43: great idea, I'm supposed to pull them tomorrow, to clean and possibly rebuild (if needed) so I will def look at how/where to drill a hole. Can you send me some pix of where? If not no worries.
My best time was 1:51.xxx, kinda slow but with more practice and some adjustments I think I'll get down to more competitive times. I hope!
