Still processing through all of the video footage I captured. I made this, and will drop it in the track junkie thread too. Hopefully it helps someone...

So much kissing. I really want to go to VIR. One day!

I don't hide anything from you guys. Here's a full session, with a sweet money shift towards the end. Mistakes happen, and there are ZERO drivers here that have not had a shifting mishap in their lives. Either way the car is fine, no check engine light, and lived to fight another day!

But tell them the RPM’s! That is the fun part and shows how strong the engine is?

I tend to be super overprotective of my transmissions. So I’m slow? around the track.

Shit happens bro! I had a new 2013 STI at the time and money shifted on a banked oval under full throttle. Christmas lights came on. But was ok after a reset LOL.

Thanks for posting so much data. Once I get my parts in and Jestertuned, I'll post a full session at Road America as well.

Also, remind me, what oil and weight are you running again? I always hover around 80psi even when I'm hooning 130mph+ (I live in the boonies), and run 5w40 Quaker State. That said, nothing comes close to the track of course.

I use amsoil 5w-30 for when its colder and 10w-30 for the summer months down here in Florida.

I'm running Motul 0w-20

Ok that's the difference between our pressures.

I'll likely run 5w30 with the rebuilt engine.

@PointByPatrol, for someone in a completely stock FL5 would you recommend Paragon R5, R7 or something else for track days? Are stock pads for the rear OK?

I have Motul RBF 600 (I believe you recommend the 660 but I need to use up what I have before switching) and titanium shims.
