New wheels on it

I said my Z will get a rest, but looks like it isn't :rofl2: first round for Qatar National Sprint 2021, got double first place in Audi and Z classes, the usual top two in Z class were absent.



I can say this is the unofficial fastest run, up was 54.8, this one 54.2 but I got stopping cone penalty as I went a little over the line, I started to like the launch control on it.




The TT did 54 flat, but without launch control, I got an error when I tried it but it went away after turning it off and on again.



The Z should be faster, but the layouts they make prefers acceleration over handling :icon14:

Back to the track after nearly a year hiatus, I didn't do a lot of changes to my racecar, even the gauges are still the same way :roflpuke2: a lot of complication for a simple thing, but a friend is making a 3d modeling for AC plate, and creating a gauges mount to fit in its place, and I am waiting him to finish.

I didn't go with big expectations, I was with the mentality to just drive at the track and get back the rhythm for it. The day started with a new light, ABS light, I didn't inspect it until now, but I entered the race without ABS.

Qualified at 13th place, with a time of 2:32.2, but during the outlap for the race I had some issues with TPS not calibrated and went back to the garage and did a quick calibration, but I got penalized and started from last place, and I had a bad start for the same reason I went out for :eekdance:. I made my way until I finished at 9th place, my best lap was 2:30.9

Second race, I found myself leading for 4 turns but tried to open way for faster cars as I didn't want to get excited and make mistakes that can be dangerous for other drivers, I wanted to just get my own way with the car and try to get the hang of it, started 7th finished 8th, best lap was 2:29.6 which is better than last season best, although I am on last year tires.


Prove I was at the lead :happydance:

If you just want to see fastest lap, here it is

Race 2

Finally I got the chance to drive the Miata, thanks to my friend, I had a problem where it was a little hard to heel/toe in it (it is either too low throttle or full throttle where it bounce over the limiter), so opted to just slip it :rolleyes: I am sorry.

How did you end up liking the SuperPro bushings for the front lower control arms?

How do you like the SuperPro bushings for the lower front control arms?

At last the transmission is open

Nice!

So I got 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th synchro installed, 5th and 6th (which are the same part no.) didn't fit, there was like 2mm difference in internal diameter and when I looked closely, they have a small difference in shape and the inside materials are different, I emailed Joe@zspeed to see if he knows anything about that, also I found a different part no. online which is 32604-CD105 but the photo in Z1 shows the same one as I got.
