    Function for track...The Thread For It

    Don't know if there is a track car/functional type thread here or not. Feel free to delete if there is.

    I'm always interested in seeing what others are running for a functional track car setup and what works for them personally and could possibly be a reference for some looking for a setup that could work well for them. We can break it down like this:
    -suspension mods
    -brakes
    -alignment angles
    -tires/wheels
    -any misc. that aided you in running better lap times

    Sound good? I'll start.

    My current car has yet to see any track time, just waiting on the money tree to bloom, so I'll list my last car. It saw a lot of track time.





    -bilstein/gc sleeve kit(500#f/375#r if I remember correctly) with Garagestar extended top hats
    -st sways with custom links
    -custom sub frame braces
    -rota(I know)15x9 with Federal Rs-r 205/50s
    -carbotech xp10 pads in front, xp8 in the rear
    -seats/harness' and autopower roll bar
    -camber -3.0 front, -2.5 rear
    -toe -1/16 front, 1/16 rear

    This car worked wonderfully like this, best setup I've used to date.

    Okay, that looks amazing....
    2012: Purchased Miata, Laid off 3 days later. 4th place overall (default!), NWOR SCCA (RTR)
    2013: Budget RTR build, massive increase in participation, 3rd place overall, NWOR SCCA (RTR)
    2014: Suspension and more active competition in STS. 3rd place overall, NWOR SCCA
    2015: Time for some "form" and vintage styling (while still racing NWOR, of course).
