So a small update. I replaced the driver's seat in the beginning of April with a Sparco Circuit halo seat. I needed to move my previous driver's seat to the passenger side to obtain my instructor certification and to give students ride alongs. Here it is with me making racecar sounds and pretending to go fast:






My new seat was more snug than I had anticipated and the shoulder area is a little narrow for me, so I subsequently have to hunch my shoulders if I sit all the way back. Other than that though it is a great seat. I highly recommend getting a halo seat if you are serious about going fast on track and if you love having giant blind spots. Seriously, If I turn my head I can't see more than directly beside me. If one of my side mirrors gets taken out I'm royally f@#ked.
For installation, getting this seat in was a breeze, but I also don't have any interior so that could be a small factor. This seat was pretty much made for small asian dudes so if your waist is bigger than 32" forget about it.

Thanks man!




So I did VIR Hyperfest. I competed in NASA TTC class. Managed to get 1st place both days and set a new TTC track record with a 2:09.3. I actually went faster in DE4 with a 2:08.5 on corded front tires. Should be able to get into the 2:07s on fresh rubber in October.

Very cool man! The videos really don't do you justice in terms of how fast you're movin, but that seems to be the case for many unless it's from something like a helmet cam.

I just looked up the website with the watermark and very cool the photographer has pictures from all their events they shot going back years, I found mine from a few years back on Summit Main.. Do you happen to know if Trackdaze has a specific photographer they use and who it is? I tried googling w/o any luck..

Also, are you running a baffled pan on your car?

so awesome.

Thanks man, yeah I guess could try out a helmet cam, but that's a lot of work haha.

Yeah trackdaze had etechphoto.com at Shenandoah last time. I'm not sure if they have a permanent photographer, probably don't.

Nah no baffled oil pan. I probably should but I've been running slicks on this car for a year and half now with no problems, and that includes doing 62mph on Shenandoah's carousel. Personally I think you could get away without a baffled pan. The only guys who really need it are forced induction 300+ whp on a banked oval course.


Thanks.

Don't be mad when my K24 blows by you in Honda Challenge next year.

skatebrian624

f@#k I probably will, haha. I think you'll be the only k24 s2000 other than Ian. When are you doing the swap?
