For the 15th track day, we were headed to Buttonwillow CA. I haven't been at this track since my third track day, and I've had a ton of modifications and seat time since then. I was definitely looking forward to seeing how the car handled!
Modifications going into this track day
So after my last two track days, my torque tube bushings definitely had given up the ghost.

For whatever reason, late March through April is becomiing quite the busy week for us with track days. Monday March 27th we were just at Streets Of Willow, and here we are again just six days later at Willow Springs driving the cars again!

So the Miata made it out to yet another track day, this time at Streets of Willow (SOW) Counter Clockwise (CCW). Boh was driving the car, and the track day was focused primarily on her working with an instructor to continue to improve her shifting and driving in general.
Boh was able to set a lap time equal to her previous best lap times clockwise (CW), which to me is impressive since I am 2 seconds slower between the two directions.

So my 12th track day is now in the books. The temperatures were again quite cold and windy. As with last time I struggled a bit with tire temperatures and traction, but dropped my tire pressures a bit further and seemed to get better traction. I also adjusted my suspenson just a bit, which yielded fairly positive results.

The time between these last few track days was quite significant, clocking in at over 30 days. I generally am trying to run at least a track day a month, so this was quite the gap from that goal. However California was having a ton of rainy weather, which when combined with the Holidays meant that I had a large gap to tackle a project on the C5 I'd long been neglecting, installing Delrin bushings from Borg Motorsports.

This page will serve as a place for me to keep notes on various details about maintaining and servicing the bike. It is currently in it's infancy, but will grow to contain useful information that I will likely need to refer back to at any given point.
Oil Changes:
Oil weight: 10w-40 winter 10w50 for 90+ degree days
My oil of preference remains Honda GN4. Best for the price, best additives package, I trust it.
Oil Capacity with filter change:
