First weekend back at the track after a complete brake failure and wreck last year. This car was my then daily driver that I built this off-season to replace the wrecked car. Pictures of the wrecked car and build progress can be seen on my Instagram @qspeed_racing.
The weekend got off to a slow start with me driving very timid, especially when it came to braking (as can be expected after a brake failure). These two laps were my best of the weekend during my second (and final) session on Sunday where I was finally feeling like I was getting up to speed a little bit. Still a ton of time in the car (and driver!) for sure. This was an HPDE-4/Instructor session.
The eventual plan is to pick back up to build a ST3/TT3 car and also maybe dabble with a GLTC build. We'll see where the build goes, but for now this is just the beginning and very much a first revision of many.
Current setup:
- Stock engine, stock clutch with 92k miles. No power mods. Corsa Xtreme axleback exhaust and drop in K&N air filter.
- Trackspec radiator
- Improved Racing oil cooler, oil pan baffles, and oil catch can
- Canton Racing 3 quart Accusump
- C5 Z06 springs
- Gspeed spherical suspension bushings
- Trackspec T1 sway bars (rear full soft)
- DRM tuned Bilstein shocks
- After Dark Speed camber kit (-3.0 F, -2.0 R camber)
- AP Racing CP9668 front brake kit with PFC 11 pads all around
- SKF race hubs
- AMT motor mounts and differential mount
- MGW shifter
- Sparco steering wheel and quick release
- OMP HTE-R 400 seat on AMT seat mount and Sparco Endurance harness
- Trackspec rollcage welded in by Piper Motorsport
- 315/30/18 Nankang CR-S on 18x11 Apex SM-10 wheels
Much more to come to include legitimate suspension, headwork for more RPM, and aero.
