Default well, i went to the track 2 weeks ago!

you guys were giving me **** awhile go for having all these suspension mods, and not taking it to the track. well summer is here, and school is out, so i got a chance to go to the track again!

Some of the goods i bought before the big day:



-Falken Azenis
-Omni Front and Rear Camber kit
-Axxis Ultimates Front and Rear Brake pads
-Autozone Front rotors, Raysbestos Rear rotors
-Brake Fluid

It was a pretty hot day. Car kept on overheating near the bowl turn, almost spun out a couple of times, and it got really crowded at times. But other than that, it was fun.



My masking tape > blue masking tape







Werd, bitches.

Kicking some BMW ***.

Great track, I love SOWS. Perfect for Hondas. I want to run it CCW, though.

Nice car, too!

A little OT: Whenever I'm out at Willow, I always notice that really tight and twisty track on the moutain, but no one ever is on it, ever. Looks pretty cool...

only thing i can think of: the "fins" (or whatever you call them) on the radiator are closing up. the car is fine on the road, but for some reason the needle went up 3/4 high.

i have never gotten it higher than half, except on that day.

Try bleeding the coolant system and/or flushing the radiator. Mine did that at a track day here at Phoenix Int'l. Bled it between sessions and I was good to go...
