Went out to Buttonwillow this weekend... fun track! Really plays to the strengths of this 510... Still needing that extra bit of camber and caster, but the push wasn't as bad here as it was at Thunderhill. The CVs held up, and damn what an improvement over the stock axles. Super smooth! 4th gear spins up much quicker now too.
As usual, the Gopro battery died just as the action was getting good :( My buddy was also driving the 510 so the Gopro had double duty, I should've brought an extra battery pack. I also F'd up the angle of the Gopro, as I always do haha.... In Session 4 after the battery died, I was having fun playing with that yellow Mustang for a couple laps then he pointed me by, and I went after a pretty fast E30. Had a couple big slides playing at and beyond the limits :D
I'm going to try to run Laguna in 2 weeks... need to find someone willing to give up their spot as the event is already sold out lol. I also have a buyer lined up for the car, we've agreed on a price that I think is pretty fair. It's a good friend of mine who I know will build the car to the level I always wanted to. Just waiting for him to get the $$ together. It's been fun playing with the 510, just time for me to move on and start racing for real. Not much I can do with a 510 except... vintage?
My buddy was going to carry my tires and everything else for me but had to back out at the last minute :\ Good thing I have this newly acquired Mazda 3 hatchback to use as a race tire transporter :P Had my other buddy drive that for me. Got pulled over en route to the track for drafting the 3 in the 510 lol... told the police officer I was just trying to save gas. She was not amused.
Our first two sessions were cut short due to tards going off track and crashing blah blah blah. Unbelievable how many people were going off in session 1, and even lap 1 of their first two sessions.
