Nice title haha 
Sick pics mike..you always get to go to the sickest events

The Ferrari's badass and the white RX8 has the hottest kit on it
the TL is ofcourse SICK as hell! The Works look so bad ass man! Damn the color is awesome too. Looks really aggressive, Offset is perfect! Well worth the 900 week wait to see them

That looks like a serious good time.
Glad to see you spending an equal amount of time and money on the track learning to be a better driver as opposed to just modding and talking about how great the mod is...
2 observations.
- "BIG" written in the upper left corner. Appropriate considering the TL was probably the biggest, heaviest car there. Kinda funny.
- Are you running your fogs as DRL's? DRL module? or did you wire the fogs to come on independently?

WOW! I wish I was at such an event! That looks like a real nice track! LOL at "BIG," IMO they wrote that cause you were doin' it BIG bringing such a nice car to be tracked! TL was the hottest pic IMO 
...
Did you try the 35/35 PSI I once reccommended to you? You have a RSB?
Also, how did you par with all those other cars?

Its not a ~serious addiction~ until you get your own new Snell 05 SA Helmet, and some race gloves for better grip! Even mechanics brand gloves help
Some even get driving suits for 100$-$300, and a hood sock or 2 to keep helmet fresh and dry inside
Its amazing how much you sweat when driving for 20 minutes- like something you see from the news helicopter
And then some driving shoes with thin soles to get better feedback help too
Wait- an extra rim and tire in case of flat tire at track- it happens, and you cant run on small spare tire
Better make that 2 if you have directional tires
Then you can swap out the street brake pads for track pads, install better calipers and trick fluid, the list goes on and on
Given the choice of drink and smoke, or get track days-
you will find me with the smell of burning rubber

Oh gawd that's hot. Those wheels + that stance is beautiful.
The pic of the TL at the sick turn is awesome. (So that isn't you? There were 2 NBP's there? I'm confused)
(Nice S600 too.)

-It looks a lot like BIG, but it actually says B16 (car ID)
-I've wired my fogs to come on when I turn the lights either to the first setting (blinkers), or both. I have also disabled my blinkers so they only blink when they are being used. Just PM me and I'll walk you through it if you want.

I did try the 35 PSI all around, I still found that having the front at around 37 PSI gave me a bit more stability. I'm pretty sure that it's mainly because of the added weight up front which is causing the sidewalls to roll over too much at turn in's.
TL did pretty well, still a bit front heavy, as well as just heavy all around. I'm sure with less weight, the car will be a lot easier on the tires, and should handle much smoother. Of course it comes down to the driver, and there were WRX's that were passing me, but also some that weren't.

!I actually feel that the stock brembo brakes do a fantastic job. I put much emphasize on brake fluid (motul or ate), and some HPS pads held up surprisingly well for a street pad.

Thanks! I was afraid they might not look good and everyone, almost EVERYONE was against them! They look great though and thanks for all the comments! I'll try to get some better shots later!

I put my psi's like this about 1 month ago, to me i felt the same feel as when i put on rsb(great). I feel like this is the perfect sporty set-up, but of course i want me some coils too!! hehe Maybe it's having nitrogen, since pressures don't fluctuate like moisterized air...

nitrogen filled tires is definitely a plus... one of my friends that is a die hard maxima-head who occasionally tracks his car, he said the z rated falkens have soft sidewalls and roll, he suggested if I wanted a mean sidewall to go with the pzeros since they hold up on corners... maybe a combo of oversteer and soft sidewalls made the suspension feel soft... but hey I know you are obsessed with stiff springs...
ps. the Emotions looks like they belong there, as for the drop + rim combo... OH MAN makes your car look STRAIGHT JDM all the way
