(Sorry I had to re-upload this video, I inadvertently uploaded my previous best time by mistake!)

It's been a year since I did a trackday, so I was a bit rusty. Despite a number of mistakes (downshifting to 2nd in a couple places where I should have used 3rd and carried more speed), I still managed to be within 0.1 sec of my personal best at Sonoma. In general, still lots of room for improvement though.

My RE-71R tires are super heat cycled though and have a date code of 2016 (for the fronts, the rears are from 2019)! It was about 94 degree F out so the track was a bit greasy too.

For reference the car is mostly stock except:
- Remapped ECU for lower cam changeover
- Penske single adjustable shocks w/350F 500R springs
- Baffled oil pan
- Mishimoto sandwich plate
- Upgraded rear toe links
- Ferodo DS2500 brake pads
- Eliseparts.com front brake rotors
- 2bular 8" muffler
