1. don't use a harness without a rollbar. just don't. if you can't get your hear wrapped around having even a simple rollbar in your car, don't take your car to the track. Simple as that. These cars are so fast...doesn't matter your experience level...it's just a recipe for disaster.
2. WITH a...
off topic but I was on the freeway the other day alongside a red w/ white stripes car here in San Jose. Just posting here to say hi. great looking ride, man.
#6 was the car I drove when I was out there...at the very first Track Attack! it had like 250 miles on it at the time.
I can't believe you didn't enjoy the skid car as much this time...perhaps it was the company you were keeping ;-)
I've daily'd mine for 2+ years now...carbon wheels / cup 2's and mine's a base model. zero issues with the car and zero issues driving it daily other than the occasional driveway scrape.
they will be in short supply.
and Tomster is a great dude.
I know both of these things to be true.
'Butthurt / chill pill'...that's LA kid stuff. I know about both of those things too, btw.
FWIW, the term that I think you're trying to use is 'peace of mind'...the idea that your decision, or option, will give you peace. I find it somewhat ironic, but not surprising, that you're referring to a 'piece' of mind...which would imply less than 100% of a mind.

I was feeling your pain, man. I came past you on my way to work (in my AG R) as yours was being loaded on the truck. I would have stopped to help if the tow truck hadn't already been there. Once I got to the office, I texted my peeps at the dealership just as your car was being brought in...
not planning on building it into a race car. it's ready to track should I choose to but have been doing my driving in other stuff. the main reason is to improve my driving. I've done a whole bunch of road racing schools in the last 5 or so years and, intentionally, in a wide range of cars...and...
so yours is a base 16 in AG, no stripes...black roof or no? #33...mine's #39 base AG stripes no roof. I got mine in Jan '16 and have about 8k miles on it...all street. I have a strong preference for fully-built cars when I go on track so I haven't tracked mine.
Interesting. I went the cheaper route and did camber bolts (which are supposed to be able to get an add'l 1 degree) but we could only get 1.7 and 1.9 degrees (so have both sides set at 1.7). My car may never see a track so it's fine for now. I do like the way the car drives with the more...
took a long drive to get acquainted with a slightly tweaked new setup. I added BMR camber bolts (and had the car aligned to the factory-recommended track alignment), front drop links, and IRS cradle lockout kit. Also put on fresh rubber and had the brake fluid flushed (it's got Endless RF650 in...
maybe lame, but true. I'm pretty circumspect about changing anything on my R for fear of upsetting that awesome balance they've engineering into the car. That said, the R is at my local race shop as we speak getting a few things: new tires, brake flush (with Endless fluid), and an...
