    I didn't mean to offend anyone with my post, all I was trying to say we all learn every single time we hit the track and don't be afraid to ask questions and see how u can go faster how we can all go faster. So with that being said Mr speed, any tips for us to go faster or you're going to continue to ruin and perfectly good and helpful thread?

    Zoran...I posted the times so the current MS3's running have a reference as to what a competitive time for a MS3 should be...and I posted a video to show a time we should all aspire to. That was my tip...along with my earlier comments about seat time, seat time, seat time, which you and Justin have lots of.

    Never did I mention MS3 vs anything...and only in post #45 of this thread did Justin get his feathers in a bunch and turning this into something else, as is evident his general attitude towards speed owners.

    Guys let's not ruin a potentially good thread because of what we think others might be thinking in the way they post, especially if we evrer hope to get a solid Tm3/mazda turnout at these track days

    And since it was brought up, I will share my 5 cents on the speed3 vs. n/a Mazda3 at the track

    Understanding obviously that in the end, it really depends on the driver, since any fool can end up driving a quick car very slowly. Similarly, a skilled driver can drive a "slow" car very quickly.

    That said, I don't see the issue with a n/a mazda3 owner saying they kept up with or even destroyed speed3's, when similarly speed3 owners get excited if they destroy a corvette, or porsche etc at the track.

    Why not get a bit excited about it? The car in question has more power than you, which means either the driver was complete shit, or you were able to use your own skill to shine through.

    Now let's keep it all friendly!

    LOL. im gonna leave it from here.

    If u knew my attitutde, u would know i dont care whether you own a speed or a mazda or a muscle car or a car that barely runs. if u wanna learn and be helpful, i will help you to the best of my ability, no questions asked,I even let others drive my car if they want to. ask any of the Mazda owners from the last track day. so stop making these bs comments about me. u know what you meant and its not only me who thinks it evidently, or the way you put it misguided us. im all for what you just said aside from the last part. that is all.

    This is me...trying to lighten the mood...

    I remember, one of the first times I was at CSCS, I told one of the Speed guys...

    "Don't let me pass...let me stay behind you and I'll film you..."

    To which, it was interpreted as, "You're slower than me!"...and elicited a laugh in my face like an "As if!"....

    Never once did I imply who was faster...I was just happy out there running with my guys, making film for the grand-kids to see.

    Back to loki's point and to continue the tone of the thread, lets ensure that future discussions remains interpreted as mutually beneficial advise. If we are beating ourselves over our own little thing, that's like boys who go to an [hetero] orgy to compare dick size...and that's not why we go to the track together. =)

    Oh man, honestly there is so many little things to it that it would be a very long reply lol, but power wise it just has I/H/E and the same tune Kiyomi runs. Which he will be playing with soon to get a little more power out of it. It has all the basics that all guy going to the track should have: upgraded suspension, brakes, tires.

    To add to my video post, these are the tips that I got from a couple of guys:

    Turn one, go slower, turn later.

    Turn ten, keep it tighter, go slower and keep to the right rather than hammering on the gas and end up left, because it's a long way back to the right.

    Turn eleven, try to go flat out doesn't matter if I end up on the right rather than left, it all depends how your car likes taking the next turn after it.

    I was also told to use more of the curbs and NOT to hit the turn one curb!

    I'm gonna try these tips and see if I can lower the lap times and I will post another video when I do!
