This is the transponder for sunday at the time attack.

After this week-end , I can officially said that this TI will become a real track car with the rool cage racing seats...etc...etc... I think it really worth it.

You'll love having true race seats. I know I'm not nearly as tired after a weekend at the track after getting proper seats and harnesses. I was using a huge amount of energy to keep myself in the seat. My legs and arms would be sore from hanging on.. What kind of seats are you using?

Pics look great. I like the action photos like that as you rotate around the camera in the hairpin. I've got a similar picture to that of my car. of course, your car looks much better with the solid green as opposed to mine still having the bottom grey rocker panels.

For the moment it's the OEM leather seats.

I plan on buying OMP race bucket, It's lighter that OEM one and it will hold firmly.

Nice pics, looks like fun.

What kind of bushings are you running in the back, in the second pic it looks like rear wheel is shifted really far rearwards under load.

Sorry for this late response I was out of town this week. I use stock bushings I really have to do something about that... My car has terrible body roll, look's like the Bilstein HD shock + Bilstein coil springs is not really a ''racing'' suspension

I really need new coil springs, I thawt that H&R Race springs will be a part of resolving my problem.

Another problem was the tires, Continental SportContact 2 are NOT good tire for track days This problem is solved this afternoon with a set of new Toyo R888 in size 235/40R17



Next track day will be really funny I think !!
