Turns out of the front tie rods/arms/something as well as the rear camber arm are trashed...gonna cost me about 1g for the parts, wheels, labor,etc... We got some work to do for the NASA race in 2 weeks!

 

Wow! Close one op.

 

So the rumble strip caused the slide for certain or was there a failure in a suspension part? The slide seemed to initiate out of proportion to anything you were doing. It almost looked like torque oversteer. I would've figured loosing traction with the right rear wheel would've meant sliding the other way Do you have an aftermarket LSD and traction control on?

Anyways, nice recovery!

 

What size/offset RPF1s do you run? Are you having them fixed or getting new?

 

Its really hard to tell, most of the experienced guys I asked said it looked like the rumblestrip. They felt slick all day, I didnt even know they painted those things. There is paint on the tire now though from where I hit the inside of the other curb so I guess they do. I have the OS Giken LSD which has been very predictable but you can see in the video that the split second I touched that rumble strip is when it all broke loose. It probably slide the way it did since I had a little steering input to the left setting up T3. Maybe it locked up on me or something, I dont know. Traction is always off.

 

I am just buying new since the shop now gets them for next for nothing due the quantities they have been buying. I will probably get these repaired if the price is right and use them for rain tires or something. They are 18x9.5 +15s

 

Cool. And are you running 255 R6s?

Next to nothing? (Ears perked up)

 

Reminds me of when my buddy almost hit me at Buttonwillow





Do you two know each other or what???
