Thanks to Rogue Motorsports ( roguemotorsports) for the F22C swap and general maintenance.

You are ripping it out there! :)
Glad to see that you got the car dialed in. Thanks for the videos!
always looking forward to your track videos . i enjoy them . keep it up man !
Keep it up, definite improvement in your driving, and glad your car is back together!
Fun watching you. Thanks!
From the sketch2000 to what it is today. You’ve came along way with this car. Great video!
6:45 overtaken by "big hoosier daddy"
Just found out he's pushing only 100whp 😭 instagram.com/smitty__219/
Zygrene, invest in a probe pyro meter if you are interested in learning more about tyre temps and pressures. There's a ton to learn and experiment with. Hard to get enough time on a session based day as opposed to testing day with open pits, and also hard to get measures immediately after a hot lap (bring a friend!) but I thought I'd mentoin it. It's a good way to optimise tyres based on data as opposed to just feeling, both are useful.
it's awesome how you have a f22c with the ap1 direct nose handling
Looks like you're having a lot of fun.
Great video 👍🏻
what tires are u running? and your center armrest doesnt look stock. did u change it?
Hey uh, that black miata is Scott. Hes non turbo, aprox 140ish whp iirc.
What app are you using on your phone?
Loving all the track videos since i cant do this myself.

How do you make your hardtop not squeak. Awesome driving!
I applied rubber weatherstrip along the outside edge of the hardtop where it meets the body
Lots of great saves in the last session. Hope u made it back home okay and the starter fix not $.
A friend of a friend generously offered to give me his spare starter so the car should be back up and running in no time
You need a thicc sway bar man
nice!!
Nice runs, I have that same shifter knob in @BluestreakCorollaXRS! I want a mirror like that for @SparkyS2k (who also is an AP1 with a 22FC & aero! ); which one is it? Also, are you being sure to double clutch when you skip gears when downshifting?
It's a Broadway mirror, so useful! I don't double clutch when skipping gears, is it really necessary?
I swear, that mirror will be even more important if you get a harness. Now, "Necessary" is a strong word, obviously you *can* skip gears without it. Good rev matching will help save your clutch, but double-clutching will help save your synchros. An AP1 synchro rebuild cost me $1500, so I feel like double-clutching is worth the effort to extend the life of my synchro gears. It becomes 2nd nature after a while. I recently recorded my foot work - not saying I'm any kind of expert - but you can see an example of going from 4 to 2 in the left hand hairpin about 10 seconds after where this link starts: ua-cam.com/video/uaCnlNd9QK0/v-deo.html Note that this video was recorded at a wonderful track called ORP - I see you've been at least as far North as Thunderhill - I'd love to go on track with you for some cooperative camera work - Let me know if you go to PIR, ORP or anything in Washington state! I'd like to do Thunderhill or Sonoma this year, but with my son heading out to college, this summer has more competition for my time than normal...
Zygrene I got the mirror and love it. I haven’t *really* tried it since my car’s been on jack stands, but I can tell I’m gonna love it on the track too
what year was that miata
Let us know your ecu solution
Referring to 5:04, "good technique" is to downshift through all the gears? What's the advantage there? Thanks.
With proper technique, downshifting consecutively through the gears would better utilize engine braking to help you slow the car down as quickly as possible. But it's hard to keep my right foot steady on the brake while blipping the throttle multiple times.
which method do you use for blipping? do you roll your foot over or do you stick your heel out?
lots of Best Motoring videos with a view of the heel-toe shifting. The s2k's brake/gas pedals aren't that close. I have to stick my out a little to blip the throttle.
I have to roll my foot over. I should add an extension to the throttle pedal.
I see. That makes sense when you're really pushing it on the track. Ive never felt the need doing just touge driving. I don't think I could pull that off with my old worn out syncros anyway!
Dude that's @SmittyZ one of the fastest instructors out there. No it's not turbocharged. It's mostly driving skill and the huge wing he has!
Yup I found out shortly after posting the video. Insanely fast for a low hp car.
Great video! Maybe install a camera under the drivers seat so we can see your footwork lol
You know, I was actually planning to do that but left my adhesive mount at home. Next time!
Sorry to butt in here - hope it's OK - but I was just telling @Zygrene about this video where I did just that - not under the seat, but hanging down upside down to the right of my right knee. I even put a LED light down there to help illuminate the black-on-black shoes and mat. *Special Note*: I'm not Zygrene, so it won't help you see his footwork. This link starts the video toward the end after all of the music and tire warming is over... ua-cam.com/video/uaCnlNd9QK0/v-deo.html
what's the tires you're running?
FlyinGato Federal 595RSRR 255/40/17
nice, I'm probably going to put Firestone Firehawks Indy 500 on my S2000. You should try Hoosiers, I'll be getting those on my Type R soon
You should do a vid 2.0 vs 2.2 in your car and how it changed the car
gurjit randhawa Check out my previous video on why I swapped an F22C
Zygrene I have , I was talking more as how the tq feels out of the corners, how does the lower speeds per gear feel , things like that that play into tracking
gurjit randhawa Gotcha, I'll definitely address those points in a future video
These videos are so enjoyable to watch does anyone know any other youtuber that does these track type video's?
Check out Jackie Ding. Fellow s2k track junkie.
Zygrene Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks i subbed to him now too
In addition to Jackie, Speed acdemy guys regularly put their project cars through Toronto Motorsports park. They even have a lap leaderboard for comparison purposes.
What are you thoughts on square setup for an ap1??
Twitchy but a lot of fun. The wing really helps settle the rear end in higher speed corners. Wing + square seems like a good setup.
Zygrene probably not a good idea for a daily driver kind of thing haha?
I prefer staggered 225/255 for a street car. Better steering feel, less wandering on the highway, cheaper tires :)
is it stagger for track and square for daily?
saiyanwei other way around
That miata is NA and running 1:22's
Yup I found his IG. Insanely fast!
Salt in the wound!
Its all good. I have videos of that miata passing me the very next day.
Gary W what times are you running at West? Would love to see the footage
Zygrene ua-cam.com/video/bj3o9rU1qeY/v-deo.html
1:25’s. Should be able to drop to high 23’s with newer tires.
What the hell is this first time I've come across this payment required?? What the he'll is this all about???? Please explain
Wait what? What payment required?
LoL I had the same reaction when I went to load the video iti blocked me.. Across the thumbnail itt says this video requires payment to watch
That's weird. I'm definitely not charging people to watch my videos.
get like a evo or wrx or g37x all wheel drive and those corners or sweepers will be nothing. All wheel drive baby and a v6. 3.7 to be exact
And take the spare tire out for free weight reduction
