Just found out he's pushing only 100whp 😭 instagram.com/smitty__219/

I applied rubber weatherstrip along the outside edge of the hardtop where it meets the body

A friend of a friend generously offered to give me his spare starter so the car should be back up and running in no time

Yup I found out shortly after posting the video. Insanely fast for a low hp car.

Check out Jackie Ding. Fellow s2k track junkie.

Zygrene Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks i subbed to him now too

In addition to Jackie, Speed acdemy guys regularly put their project cars through Toronto Motorsports park. They even have a lap leaderboard for comparison purposes.

It's a Broadway mirror, so useful! I don't double clutch when skipping gears, is it really necessary?

I swear, that mirror will be even more important if you get a harness. Now, "Necessary" is a strong word, obviously you *can* skip gears without it. Good rev matching will help save your clutch, but double-clutching will help save your synchros. An AP1 synchro rebuild cost me $1500, so I feel like double-clutching is worth the effort to extend the life of my synchro gears. It becomes 2nd nature after a while. I recently recorded my foot work - not saying I'm any kind of expert - but you can see an example of going from 4 to 2 in the left hand hairpin about 10 seconds after where this link starts: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q8dzoc9_yZ-1e2Q.html Note that this video was recorded at a wonderful track called ORP - I see you've been at least as far North as Thunderhill - I'd love to go on track with you for some cooperative camera work - Let me know if you go to PIR, ORP or anything in Washington state! I'd like to do Thunderhill or Sonoma this year, but with my son heading out to college, this summer has more competition for my time than normal...

Zygrene I got the mirror and love it. I haven’t *really* tried it since my car’s been on jack stands, but I can tell I’m gonna love it on the track too

gurjit randhawa Check out my previous video on why I swapped an F22C

Zygrene I have , I was talking more as how the tq feels out of the corners, how does the lower speeds per gear feel , things like that that play into tracking

gurjit randhawa Gotcha, I'll definitely address those points in a future video

You know, I was actually planning to do that but left my adhesive mount at home. Next time!

Sorry to butt in here - hope it's OK - but I was just telling @Zygrene about this video where I did just that - not under the seat, but hanging down upside down to the right of my right knee. I even put a LED light down there to help illuminate the black-on-black shoes and mat. *Special Note*: I'm not Zygrene, so it won't help you see his footwork. This link starts the video toward the end after all of the music and tire warming is over... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q8dzoc9_yZ-1e2Q.html

With proper technique, downshifting consecutively through the gears would better utilize engine braking to help you slow the car down as quickly as possible. But it's hard to keep my right foot steady on the brake while blipping the throttle multiple times.

which method do you use for blipping? do you roll your foot over or do you stick your heel out?

lots of Best Motoring videos with a view of the heel-toe shifting. The s2k's brake/gas pedals aren't that close. I have to stick my out a little to blip the throttle.

I have to roll my foot over. I should add an extension to the throttle pedal.

I see. That makes sense when you're really pushing it on the track. Ive never felt the need doing just touge driving. I don't think I could pull that off with my old worn out syncros anyway!

nice, I'm probably going to put Firestone Firehawks Indy 500 on my S2000. You should try Hoosiers, I'll be getting those on my Type R soon

Twitchy but a lot of fun. The wing really helps settle the rear end in higher speed corners. Wing + square seems like a good setup.

Zygrene probably not a good idea for a daily driver kind of thing haha?

I prefer staggered 225/255 for a street car. Better steering feel, less wandering on the highway, cheaper tires :)

is it stagger for track and square for daily?

saiyanwei other way around

Yup I found his IG. Insanely fast!

Salt in the wound!

Its all good. I have videos of that miata passing me the very next day.

Gary W what times are you running at West? Would love to see the footage

Zygrene kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mNBjopyjupfVlY0.html 1:25’s. Should be able to drop to high 23’s with newer tires.

Wait what? What payment required?

LoL I had the same reaction when I went to load the video iti blocked me.. Across the thumbnail itt says this video requires payment to watch

That's weird. I'm definitely not charging people to watch my videos.
