Default NASA TTC Video and OS Giken Pics

I was able to finally get back into competing in NASA Time Trials (TTC), there are a few Zs running TTC here in Florida so the competition is really fun. I'm still a couple of seconds off the front runners (a Z and a turbo miata) but getting closer bit by bit.

Perfect weather for a personal best lap time at Homestead Miami Speedway........was too busy timing myself and forgot to shift on the front straight, hit rev limiter....doh!
Still 2 seconds of the front runners, have some work to do.

<object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/oRKhKu_8ACI?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/oRKhKu_8ACI?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="390"></object>

My OS Giken Superlock LSD was delivered this weekend from Z1Auto. Z1Auto (Adam/Kwame) were very helpful and their price was by far the best I could find. My current VLSD has quite a bit of mileage on it (my car has even more 102K) so I'm hoping this upgrade will be noticeable and maybe even give me a few tenths.

Some pics (I left the diff in the box, I'm afraid I'm gonna drop it, may defeat the purpose of posting pics but at least you can see all the stuff you get as part of the Z1Auto package):

You get a laptop and a comcast remote?! j/k

Nice vid! I always found it interesting going from the oval track to the road course inside.

Looks like you need to get a tinted shield for your helmet. I couldnt stand trying to drive around with a visor in front of my face. Nice laps!

Its definitely fun, specially T10 after the back straight, its actually a pretty scary section depending on how fast/ballsy you're feeling. I think thats one of the best places to make up time vs other drivers. But that's coming from someone who's never driven on a track w/ real elevation changes...I image Road Atlanta is an amazing track for that reason.
