Is this a stock suspension?

Stock Springs and sways with Koni yellows on full soft.
31 PSI cold all around for better shock absorption on bumpy canyon roads and for daily driving.
For maximum grip and mid-corner stability, I set them 4 PSI higher to achieve 39-40 PSI hot, as tested at Adams motorsports Park earlier this week. I am still fiddling with the Konis, but they were last set 450° from soft front, and 270° from soft rear.

Great camera location! Fascinating to see the suspension working. Do you have stock or aftermarket bump stops?

I got these, considering they would be compressed by much less mass: www.good-win-racing.com/Mazda-Performance-Part/61-0790.htmlI got a tiny bit of air at 22 seconds, fully compressing the suspension on landing. The stops felt like they did a perfect job. |

Amazing how 'fast' my lunch time stationary bike ride went with that video looping on the ipad! Only thing I wonder if I was making 'race car' sounds outloud ... ?

Finally got the body a couple weeks ago. Used a thin layer of steel to spread the load on the hood pin mounts:   |

After installing the heat shielding, the hood only gets slightly warm. The short drive I took before installing it, saw it get alarmingly hot.  |

A marine fuel (unvented) filler, with grommets from gasket material, and an aluminum ring threaded to match.   |

Attended a track day at The Streets of Willow on the 20th. Details and a video to follow.  |

Wish I had recorded the first session where I passed 2 NSXs.
Fastest run of the day was 129.0 in 106* heat.
EVERYONE complained of their cars overheating, but not this guy. OEM radiator, too.
Had some fun trying to catch an instructor in his personal Cayman S on coilovers.

Excellent clips - both. I envy your weather for EXO driving!
Your car seems very planted - are you happy with the spring rates and your shocks? I've just gone back to standard springs and it's so much better than with the -30mm, 20% uprated springs I had before.

I've just gone back to standard springs and it's so much better than with the -30mm, 20% uprated springs I had before. 1992 OEM Springs. Approximately 23% softer than the 2000 donor springs, that were far too stiff for street use. Koni yellows on full soft, but I will explore stiffening them at the next event. Front OEM sway bar, with the rear removed. It is less twitchy, and far easier to put power down now. 1.5° negative front, 1° negative rear camber. It could definitely use more for track use, but even tire wear is my goal. I am happy with the balance, and it is telling that more power would be very welcome : D |
