#27 2014 1SS 1LE Videos

Finally got the car ready to be run.

It's still missing a few things, most notably racing brake fluid and brake lines. They did not arrive before the weekend, so I was limited to how hard I could push the braking and make it last 25 minutes.

Coilovers are still a mystery. I have not been able to find a set yet for the 2014. I also hear mixed opinions that the 2014 is no different than the 2010+, but I've also heard that it is different. So :(

All in all, I wasn't going for any sort of record, just finally getting some seat time and getting used to the new machine. Enjoy a couple of decent hot laps from Sunday morning.

~150 lbs.

Keeping in mind that a roll cage was added.

The car weighs 3771 at the moment with almost empty fuel.

Why thank you sir I also thought the same. Was incredibly tame and smooth. When you get those kind of laps, they are normally your quickest. She easily has a lot more time left to chop at it. More videos to come.

I do not, I only have my flickr account from some pictures I've taken.
Not a whole lot was done to the car. Just strip it, put all the safety stuff in it, put an exhaust, tune, get some BBS race wheels and hoosiers and set off

This car is currently targeted to being built for T2 SCCA and ABCC Member Racing. If a team wanted to pick me up for PWC or CTSCC, I'd be more than willing

I'd love to race Daytona and Le Mans, and I hope by taking this next step, it will provide me with the tools and knowledge to get to where I dream to be

I'd love to race sports cars professionally, and I'm working at it everyday in order to make that happen.

Added a another video to the OP.

Practice sessions from this last Sunday, and experimenting with new camera angles.
