Streets of Willow (CCW): Interesting Moments

Highlights:

1. 135i has a bit too much power.
2. R32 Skyline GT-R getting his drift on.
3. Elise S flying off the track and a really fast STi can't shake me in the tight back sections of the lap.

Nice video! I like it. Were you driving Miata? I guess you gave them a lot of pressure like "why small car is faster than me!"

@ikakitani

Yes, a 1990 Miata with 100whp, 195/60/14 RT615K tires and TEIN Flex.

Man I wish I could afford to race on a track or just to get my competition license. What do you think of an NA with ITB's?

[VagaXt]

@xEmerzon

I don't have experience with ITBs first-hand, but from what I've seen from friends who have it, it's a bit of time and money to get them right.

IMO, for naturally-aspirated power, keep it simple and leave the stock intake side of the engine alone and save the money to buy suspension, tires, wheels and a diff, which all those combined is money well spent to make an NA go faster.

WAIT! Wait! ALL OF YOU!

Vaga had a nice line out the.

I loved the commentary as just after I passed ya and the lotus went off in the bowl.

Then i got squirmy and "wait that guys got 4wd". Just made my day

[xEmerzon]

@VagaXt Yeah that's what I'm thinking about doing to my car but it's kind of big for my taste. So I was thinking about buying my brother's NA and throwing a hard top on it some RPF1's though I heard 909 racing wheels are also really good for miatas. As well as some good tires cause tires make all the difference. And then just working it up from there still keeping it N/A. It's only the 1.6l though. oh and nice heel toe technique I know it's second nature still I always like to see it.
