Want excuses? I have plenty…but seriously. The car had a lot of changes since the Mosport day (last time I drove it).

New springs made all the setting on the coilovers way off. So I started the day off at the lower settings and worked my way up until the car was more stable. The first clip had very little rebound and the car was bouncing all over the place. The second clip is about half way in through the day with the rebound quite a bit higher. I havent adjusted the high and low bump at all yet. I definatly need help from someone more experiance to help me set em up. There are too many adjustments 🙂

The other thing is the new final drive…Now I actually have to shift gears and the car feels like it has a hell of a lot more power now. It feels like alot more car to handle and I need alot more practice. My front bumper told me that.

couple questions… if that was you mike, why were you not letting him by? it would have prevented that ‘off’.

re: the ending… fibreglass bumpers suck.

Mike had asked me if I could follow him around for 10-15 minutes so I could record him driving…it was all pre arranged…

Agreed…fibreglass sucks! but it is easy to fix. Not the first time ive destroyed that front end… If you know where I can get a FRP version of my front end (its a Bomex) I would really like that…

Sick vid, car is looking quicker. So the track was run clock then counter later? Cool. I haven’t run counter yet I year the big sweeper is way more fun that way… what speed can you carry thru it?

I agree that the sweeper is more fun but I didn’t really find that I could carry more speed through it… the only difference is that instead of accelerating up until that point you are slowing down to that point… its about 110-115km/h for me being a noob in a car with shitty tires.

Thanks…counter clockwise is awsome…the tight left after the sweeper is my favorite…not sure what speed im taking it though…looking down is not an option 🙂

Where’s the GTR? I remember you had some bugs with it at the begining of the season but havent seen it since.

Meh, life happens! Bought a condo n pimpin it out has been costly and time consuming…so GT-R gets no love.

I’m hoping by end of August, it will be back with all the new tweaks ☹
