well last weekend i had my first HPDE. it was a great experience and i cant wait to go again. this was at Summit Point raceway in WV. i met a lot of cool people and learned a lot that weekend. the car definitley felt very fast. i took corners harder and faster than i thought it could :) only real complaint i had was the brakes. they started to fade after a few laps. definitely gonna get some better pads for the next event.

basic breakdown of my setup

engine:
GSR motor
.25 OS jdm itr pistons
gsr head with headwork
s2s2 cams
itr IM
put down about 215 whp last september

susp.:
tokico illumina shocks
GC coilovers (500F/400R)
GC tophats
susp. tech. 22mm sway bar
ES master kit including TA bushings

brakes:
10.2" rotors
ITR calipers
Hawk HPS pads
valvoline synpower dot4+ fluid (500*F)

and i weighed the car in at 2200 lbs with me in it with 3/4 tank. its a 91 si and ive stripped it down pretty well. everything in the interior is gone except the dash and seats. plus i ripped out the sunroof and put in a CF plug. gave me near 2" of extra headroom while dropping like 25lbs. oh yea, the rear wiper was removed as well.

some pics from the weekend, ill have some more once i get them off my gf's camera. big thanks to the guy who took these pics.

as you can see the car looks pretty terrible but it performs great! i had a blast, and i think they only bad thing all weekend was getting stung by a freaking bee, lol.
 
Sti, BMW, BMW.... crx :wtf: Lets flat black it this weekend when you come home. Pronto.
LMAO, i had quite a few people come up to me asking what i had in it. lots of people were surprised that i hung with them, or they were having problems hanging with me :) lol

i dunno about the flat black. maybe after a get a new set of doors and fenders. they are rusting to all hell.
 
2200lbs though? ouch... that thing is a tank!

remember thats with him in it.. probably adding another 200 lbs, plus the 3/4 tank of gas.. that'll add some weight also

i so want to get out to the track.. hopefully soon i will.. Buttonwillow here i come.. haha
 
yea its about 2050 wit no one in it and the gas. not bad for a stripped down Si. i still have stock seats, and bumper supports, heavy doors with seatbelts etc. and im sure i can loose weight in other areas such as lexan windows, CF parts etc. but thats too expensive for now lol.
 
Its about time you got out there! Glad you had fun. Keep it going man then maybe we can meet up in an HC event ;)
 
yeh would u put them on cafepress? i'd sport one. shit i'd even take a pic of one stretched across my bewbies and post it AND sport one on my rex. both would be hot :D
