New Company Car

Well, the company car (and I) didn't fare too well in it's maiden HPDE event. Spent day one trying to adjust out significant understeer. And to top that off, I noticed a CEL after the last session of the day. Turned out to be a failed TPS so I loaded up the car and headed home Sunday. Have since replaced the TPS and repaired a small oil leak that I noticed while working on the car. Ready to go again.

I'm off to VIR this weekend for a two-day MazdaDrivers event utilizing the Grand course--4.2 miles of Heaven.

I'll be working on the understeer problem with tire pressure adjustments and shock settings. May have to spring for the R-compund tires and coilovers next season. Then there is the question of more HP/torque. Never ends does it.?
