yea he sould have but he wasnt really pushing the car that hard willie. alex said i was drivng it harder than he was. and besides the fact that there was nothing for front camber the car had a bad understering problem.

 

New car, new (unproven) tires, new brakes, no front camber, unproven car, first time out, etc

I'm surprised I was quicker than Josh at all.

 

She was pushy on the turn in, more pushy at the apex, and really pushy on the power. We need to lower the car so we can crank up the camber in the front. Power wise she was fast from 7000 up, under there she was jerky and struggling. The brakes are great but I need to learn how to sense lockup better, not used to cars without ABS.

 

obviously the thread is feedback....... but i would like you to elaborate on it....email me when you can...or just stop by

 

J: I'm gonna go by today and bring my notes if I remember to grab them.

To everyone tuning in I just want to make sure its understood that tuning a race car is very different and much more complex than a street car. We both knew that this wasn't a one session type of thing which is why my red book was filled with notes by the end of Sunday. I should have the M back at the shop before the August event for some cleanup

 

This car is soo cool it has two vtec points!

I'm not!

Even though I've done scores of track days in the Miata, I'm still about 3 seconds off the Spec Miata track record at Homestead. Also, the M2000 is a very impressive piece of machinery, and both Alex and Rene have a lot of driving talent.

The success of the M2000's first outing speaks highly of the attention to detail by its constructors.

 

Tu eres un PINGUDO {Alex}.

 

And I can say that part of my car got be on the M2000 for a few laps and part of the big day. Even if it was just the oil cap.

 

Visited Jared last night at the shop on the way home from class. He immediately found the high RPM power problem (VTEC engagement issue) and by this morning when I checked my email at work I already had a new calibration file to upload to the AEM...

How's that for service?


The other minor issues we're going to work on this coming week, stay tuned!
