a few trackday videos from Finland

[rins]

I finally get my FFS-CS 10AE reliable enough to enter track day events. :)

Miata club of Finland’s first track day. That black NB in begin of the film has also a Cold side kit.

Nissan, Toyota and Mazda club’s trackday. Before I went to the track they put me in “slow cars” class. Few laps later they told me to go drive with the fast cars. After I overtake every "fast car" on the track they tell me not to drive so fast and recommend me to “just take easy” :biggrin:

I’m apologize the poor video quality.

[Tom @ Fast Forward]

I recognize that sound. :)

[rins]

Yeah that MP62 whine gets lots of attention. :) After first run about a dozen drivers run to me yelling: “that can’t be stock Miata!”

I know the Fins are liberal on sex things, but are you driving in the nude? This may be going too far.

Haha! :D ...You know, in here there’s snowing half of the year so when sun finally shows up we are trying to get most of it. :yes:

I've got two new videos and this time with HD quality! :yes: Too bad the camera mount was little shaky.
Track is the same as last time Ahvenisto Race Circuit.

Nice videos! I really like the 10AE without the tupperware molding. I wish we got them like that here in the states. :)

[Tom @ Fast Forward]

Caught those two bikes too. Impressive.

[rins]

And I only got 8PSI at the moment (75x115 combo). :)

[Tom @ Fast Forward]

75 x 105, right?

[rins]

Kit came with 65x115 but I have that 75mm pulley there until I get my dual feed fuel rail installed :)

[Tom @ Fast Forward]

ah, yes. Now I remember. Old age. :)

[rins]

Testing my new 125mm pulley:

Knocklite flash red (at 2:22 mark) and have to retard ignition 20 to 19 deg. btdc

but otherwise everything went well...if this doesn't count: http://www.miata.fi/kuvat/hihna.jpg :no:

[Tom @ Fast Forward]

You are going to need grippier tires. :)

What chewed on your timing belt?

[rins]

Tires were kind a worn out. I’m saving for 949racing’s Xida clubsport suspension setup so those tires have to do :)

Not sure about that timing belt. It could have been that way for a long time or I had somehow cut it when I change the SC belt.
