Thanks, custommx3, and Ice racing
I am (1st car) using H&R springs with Gabriel struts (slightly softer than the others), A Whiteline swaybar with Wytbishop's solid endlinks, All Energy Suspension Poly bushings, and Nylatron A-arm bushings. I adjusted the endlinks to have tension to balance for the weight of me driving (190 lbs.).

I am using intrax lowering springs, kyb gr2 struts (the rears are not good), front/rear strut bars, all srd bushings and that's it.
I didn't have any special settings for this run... just driver skill HAHAHA

Oh, yeah, I forgot about the important strut bars. My front is the beefiest I've seen. It's made by AeroSpeed. The rear one is the ovalised MazdaSpeed.

Oh, Jeeeez. Of course! I need to hang out under my car. I knew I was forgetting alot of stuff. It all adds up to neutral handling

i even posted this comment on the video, but here it goes again :
Dont u guys have Trackday's there ?
I mean, its fun and all , but driving in a parking lot around some cones, makes me think about dog training ( sorry dogs )
These cars deserve, need and are expecting to be driven on a proper Race Track ...
im sure u guys can do this , come on ...

That was you?! It almost reads like an insult.
I wrote something like "Yeah, there is a track 4-5 hours away, and we are planning to do it. [Stereoking15] won $1,000 at an event that was open to any kind of car." 2nd place went to a car that was specifically built for the event.

A few of us are considering taking a class at the local racetrack (Portland International Raceway) which will then get us certified to race at several other tracks around the area...
yeah it looks cheesy but if you've never done time attack against cones you are missing out... it's alot more of an adrenaline rush than the camera can capture...

Yeah, it beats the poop out of going in a straight line for 14.5 seconds, or racing on the street like a fool! (I would love street race, if it was safe!)
Mooneggs, I wonder if a certificate from a well known out of town racing school would work.

I have to do it somewhere with a better connection (your house?). I want to see them, too! I wish I could have filmed all the sideways Subies, the '80s hair band team burn-outs, turbo brick drifter, and the 240 tire launch!
I'm so proud of you guys.
Wish I could have raced.
Next time.
