I did quite a bit of racing this season both before and after I swapped the heads. Here are some videos of various events.
The first event of the season, first time on the track with 9,5" rims, 265 wide tires and 3° of camber. Car drove great but I hadn't rolled the rear fenders enough so I almost thrashed my rear tires. As a stroke of sheer luck I boiled my several years old brake fluid to the point where it started spraying out of the reservoir in the engine bay. But during the pit sop that followed I noticed the rubbing on the tires before it was too late.
The annual Swedish 3000GT meet doing high speed autocross on a airfield that we had rented. This was my last event before I swapped heads, coolant pushing was getting excessive.
JapDays, a large Swedish JDM at a big and fast track. I worked on the car for 4 days straight in order to get the new heads on in time for this event. The new ported and welded heads worked great and I even pulled away from a few R35 GTR's on the straights. Lots of dirt on the track however due to the drifting sessions that alternated with the racing sessions.
The annual hill climb event that I always participate in. I've ran this event for years and for the first time I really had the diffs to keep the power down during the whole ascent. I finished 3rd on the first race day and 2nd on the second race day. Not shabby for a car with full interior and air conditioning.
End of the season for public driving on my local race track. The rain poured down during the whole day and even though I took it easy nobody manage to keep my pace. Our cars are really good in the wet.
