I haven't really tracked how much on track time I have, but I've been tracking the car since 2018, and am up to 71K miles. Car is still going strong though!

@@stirado26 nice! Do not know why, but I have always considered this engine more fragile compared to Mazda construction. Last weekend I took my 124 to a race track for the very first time 😀 so much fun

It's definitely a lot of fun! Yea, lots of people think the engine is weak, but it takes a bunch of abuse if you maintain it well. Now the Mazda transmissions, those thing are ticking time bombs lol.

Yes, I have the EC intercooler, along with the full turbo back System One exhaust. The wheels took a good fender roll and slight pull on all four corners, and so far I've only noticed rubbing in the rear. I think it's rubbing because I have a 3" spacer in the rear to clear the brake hard lines. I have the stuff to do the GMX5 brake line relocation, so after I do that, I'll remove the spacers and see if that helps. I have extended wheel studs, so I'm not sure if they'd fit with the stock ones, but I don't see why they wouldn't. Lol my catch can hardly ever catches anything in it, so I'm not sure if my car just doesn't have that much blowby, or it just doesn't work.

It's one of the Javelin Sprint Series classes that includes cars with 1800cc to 2000cc engines, less than 210BHP, and full interiors (minus stuff that needs to be removes to fit safety gear, I.e. rollbar, cage, etc). It's basically a street class for cars that can be daily driven/driven legally on the road.

@@stirado26 Thanks!

I think so too, I just have to work on the driver mod in the meantime lol

Hey Eric, I do get slight oil consumption during normal driving, and a bit more on track. I'm thinking that i have some oil being burnt through the spark plug tube seals, but I'm not 100% positive, so I'll be trying to replace the valve cover gasket and tube seals to see if that helps, but no, I haven't figured it out either. If you manage to, let me know 👍.

@@stirado26 yeah might be a common issue... I've noticed I've got to replace my plugs far too often , super fun cars tho 🤌

I change my plugs every 20K miles miles and oil every 3K with how much I track, so I feel that pain with the plugs lol

Thanks man!

Thanks, gonna try!

Lol Definitely not the fastest way around a corner 😅

5:05 why do you have the passenger seat heater on?

@@GabriellCosta ah that, my kids were in the car between runs watching Netflix and were using the seat heater, and I forgot to turn it off lol

@@stirado26 nice to have the kids o the track.

@@GabriellCosta yea, they're my personal cheering squad lol

Haha thanks, that one definitely caught me off guard 😅 lol

Thanks man! I think there's still low 12s in there, I just have to get that perfect run lol.

You were still moving bro! It was awesome seeing someone hustling a Jag around the track like that, I love seeing unique cars out there. Glad I was able to get some footage of your car 👍

First off, you need the Apple Carplay/Android Auto mod. When you have that, you just need to get an Android box, the one I use is Digidash. Then I downloaded the Racechrono app on the box, and it displays on the screen. Maybe I'll have to do a quick video to show the setup and how it works lol. But when you have it set up, you can also download apps like Torque and have digital gauges on the screen as well.

@@stirado26 that would be a great video. I'm subbing for that. I have done the android auto upgrade just need the extra parts now

No problem! The shift knob is from Raceseng, the Hydro model. It feels pretty nice in the hand, but the stainless steel does have the problem of being really cold in the winter and hot if left in the sun lol.

Thanks, hopefully I'll see you out on track sometime!

The ones that have been the most effective I'd say are the tune, the coilovers, and the wheels/tires. Those really transformed the car. The rest really just compliments those three mods.

Thanks! This seasons gonna be a wash though as due to work and personal stuff going on, I'm only going to be able to score points in only 4 of 7 rounds, so I'll have to focus on next season for now 👍

At least you get some practice rounds to keep your driving skills up!

Yep! Pretty much lol.

Thanks! 👍

Thank you! Mine is remapped to 200BHP, which is enough for my skill level at the moment lol.

No, stock internals, stock turbo, but tuned to 200BHP 👍

@@stirado26 thx just ECU then

Done 👍. I'll add it here too: ENGINE: Tork Stage 1.5 tune EC V4 intake GWR Sports Cat GWR 2.5" System One Exhaust EC Catch Can SUSPENSION: KW Clubsport 2 Way GWR F+R Sway Bars Cusco FTSB P2M camber adjustable upper control arms BRAKING: Stoptech STR42 calipers 12.19" 2 piece rotors (Front) GLoc R12 pads front GLoc R10 pads rear Motul RBF600 Stainless steel brake lines F+R WHEELS & TIRES: 17x8 ET+45 Konig Ampliforms 235/40/r17 Nankang AR1s BODY: Blackbird Fabworx Rollbar OEM Carbon Fiber Hard Top

@@stirado26 Do you switch out tires for street use or is this a dedicated track car?

I have a dedicated set of track wheels and track pads that I swap in before going on track, then once I'm done, I swap my street wheels and pads in.

Thanks! Here's the mod list: ENGINE: Tork Stage 1.5 tune EC V4 intake GWR Sports Cat GWR 2.5" System One Exhaust EC Catch Can SUSPENSION: KW Clubsport 2 Way GWR F+R Sway Bars Cusco FTSB P2M camber adjustable upper control arms BRAKING: Stoptech STR42 calipers 12.19" 2 piece rotors (Front) GLoc R12 pads front GLoc R10 pads rear Motul RBF600 Stainless steel brake lines F+R WHEELS & TIRES: 17x8 ET+45 Konig Ampliforms 235/40/r17 Nankang AR1s BODY: Blackbird Fabworx Rollbar OEM Carbon Fiber Hard Top POWER: 196BHP/243 ft lbs

Hi, here's the setup I'm on: Konig Ampliforms 17x8 ET45 235/40/R17 Nankang AR1s KW Clubsport 2 way Stoptech STR42 front BBK 196 BHP

Aww man, I'm going to be out of country for work that day, or else I would've gone to hang out for a bit! I'll be posting up the sprint video this weekend so you could see, but I managed to finally break into the 12s I'm the sprint!

No doubt I’ll catch you soon mate, good luck for the rest of the season👍

@J&S MX5 thanks man!

That's awesome man! Lol Cadwell really tests the limits of your courage, but when you pull off a good run, it feels amazing! I think it just comes down to getting used to the tires, the AR1s will take a couple heat cycles before they start gripping like crazy, and then you'll have to readjust to how fast you think you can take corners 😅. You gonna try to make the Cadwell sprint?

@@stirado26 Can’t do Cadwell sprint this year, but next year for sure!

Awesome, hopefully you can make it next year then, it's one of the best sprints 👍

He's at around 1850lbs/840KG, I'm still full interior with factory seats lol. He's got a couple hundred pounds on me for sure lol. But yea, after this season I'll be upgrading from the KWs.

Not this year, but for this next off season will be switching suspension, and going with 17x10s. Maybe some bucket seats if I can get to it lol. Oh, and lightweight battery if I have money left over lol. That would fully max out what I could do in class.

Yea, you can really hear all the sounds with a straight through exhaust 👍

I use an app called RaceChrono Pro along with an OBD2 reader for the data overlay 👍

I agree, it always feels weird to me but I just don't have the gearing for 2nd at barn, and rather than shift mid corner, I'll just leave it in 3rd lol. I'm usually at Blyton or Cadwell since those are my local tracks (20 and 40 minutes away from me), with the odd romp at Donington every so often.

I get the data through an app called Torque Pro. To be able to get it on screen, first you need to do the Android Auto/Apple Carplay upgrade. After that, you buy an android box (I'm using this: digidash.store/) to connect to Carplay on the screen, and download the Torque App on the box. Last thing you need is a cheap OBD2 reader to plug in and connect to Torque, and you're all set to start displaying the data 👍.

It's definitely an awesome track, it's got everything you could want: fast corners, slow corners, and big elevation changes.

Thanks! Cadwell is definitely one of the best tracks out here for a reason 👍

You can install Carplay yourself by buying the Mazda carplay kit and installing it 👍

Lol it's part of the reason I felt I needed to add a public service announcement. Luckily, the majority of the day everyone cooperated 👍

Thanks! Managed to drop 3 seconds off my previous time with all the stuff I've learned over the year 🙂

Thanks man! I've done a lot of work to my car, the main ones are: - KW Clubsports 2 way adjustable - upgraded anti roll bars - remap to 200bhp - full 2.5 inch exhaust - 200 cell sport cat - 17x8 Konig Ampliform - 235/40/r17 Nankang AR1s (for track only) - Stoptech STR42 Big brake kit with 310mm 2 piece rotors

Thanks! Maybe next year I'll be able to get a clean run in lol.

@@stirado26 clean runs are overrated.

235/40/r17s 👍

Wow, thanks! This is the size I'm looking for but didn't want to have the fenders rolled or the break lines rerouted. Do they fit easily?

@@emgyee they fit, but with how lowered I am, they did rub the inner liner during turns. You'd have to reduce Caster to around 6° and get 2.5° or more camber to possibly avoid rubbing the liner if you're lowered. The suspension components and brake lines cleared on a 17x8 etc 45 wheel.

Thanks Santos!

Thanks! It's a long list, but here's the main ones lol: - EC V4 Intake - Tork Stage 1.5 Tune - Goodwin Racing System One full exhaust - Goodwin Racing 200 Cell Sports Cat - KW Clubsports - Goodwin Racing Sway Bars - Cusco Front Strut Bar - Stoptech STR42 BBK w/ 12.19" 2 piece rotors - GLoc Pads R12 Front R10 Rear - 17x8 ET45 Konig Ampliform - 235/40/r17 Nankang AR-1 - Blackbird Fabworx Roll Bar

Thanks, glad you liked the video! So to get the display up on the screen, there's a few things you need. First, you need to have the Android Auto/Apple Carplay mod done. Second, you'll need a cheap OBD2 reader, which you can get from Amazon. Third, you need to buy an app like Torque Pro (which is what you see on the screen). Last, once you have those other three things, you can buy something like this (this is the exact one I have): digidash.store/ Hope that helps, and if you have any more questions, let me know and I'll be glad to answer them. Congrats on your purchase, as you see, these can be quite capable cars 👍!

​@@stirado26 Thanks for the information. I will follow your advice and hopefully it will work out. Yes, I love the car. I've had it about 2 weeks and done quite a few miles in it already. Love the sound and the roof down experience is awesome!

Thanks, I was definitely in the zone while trying to keep up!

Thanks, just gotta finish strong the last two rounds I'll be in 👍

Thanks, I've gotta get on making the round 3 and 4 video, I've been feeling real lazy lately too lol

Thanks for that, glad I was able to get some footage of him! It was my first time at Croft, so I definitely could've improved a bunch, but I was mainly focused on learning the track and not crashing 😅

Lol thanks, it's always nice to be able to see your driving from the outside

Hi, the tires are 235/40r17 Nankang AR1s, and I've basically got all bolt ons except for upgraded turbo. I've got a full current list here: czcams.com/video/7ZGhkICm3g4/video.html
