It sucks that they switch between drifting and TA, even on TMP. That's CSCS for you though, I remember almost losing the car bad at TMP from oil all over the track and they took forever to clean it up, but I hear they are getting betting.


Car is fast man, looking at the other times you were flying. How has the tire wear been holding up? Are there 2 seasons in those tires?

 

1st again? Back in love now?

 

This was the first track day since last October that I didn't have a single issue with something weird with the car. The whole thing acted perfectly and seemed totally bullet proof. It turns out a lot of what I was feeling that was wrong with the car was that steering angle sensor. Wow what a difference that made once it was fixed.

Don't have to worry about the speed being randomly being limited to 160, or suddenly losing ABS without warning.

So yes that does restore some faith in the car. It's not so much about "winning" it's about meeting goals.

 

 

Good. Glad to hear it.
I just picked up track wheels/tires and a new JWT clutch. Cant wait. Fidanza flywheel is going back in too.
Running 10.5x4 NT03's with 285 RS3's. Going to Can-Alignment to have my stance adjusted too.

 

Are you going to compete with it?

 

fun fact...

if you scroll up from post #644...the Z car drives away from you

somewhat

whens the next event?

 

I might some day. But not this year.

 

Time to get serious.

 

Good to see the fender and sideskirts put back. Did the chopped fenders/sideskirt-delete help at all?

 

Hard to say. I definitely had some front downforce. But I doubt that had anything to do with the fender shape. And of course it's better to be lighter, and I am sure the skirts being there isn't functional. But the car was just too ugly to tolerate.

 

 

Car looks better good job. What about the bumper?? Whats all the junk swinging around under the passenger dash?

 

Thanks! That's the ecu and stuff. I always forget to put it back up because Im not paying attention over there, and in most videos my telemetry covers that area. This time my telemetry was screwed so I didn't overlay it.

 

Fwiw I thought it looked badass all hacked up. Still looks wicked tho. What's next for the hood paint scheme?

 

car is so strong, don't know how that could get old

 

I like the car more and more again. I'm a fickle princess race car amateur driver. Just hope it rocks this round as well.

More RPM and a fresh alignment. We'll see how fast I can make it go this time.

Yeah KingBaby, car certainly pulls harder than before and sounds great.

Are you going this time Tim? As far as whats next going to leave it understated. I was wondering if the community college here in town would be interested in painting it with a real paint job for a low low price. If that were possible I would try to consider an awesome colour.

 

Yes I will be there. I've decided to finish up the season on the NT05's. 1st and second are too far gone for me to catch up and even with Rivals would be wishful thinking. So I installed my crappy hks replica exhaust, will be ordering hfc's in the next week or so, install the intake manifold and have Sasha tune it prior to the last event. If possible I would like to have Sasha tune it before and after the IM but we'll see how much more costly that will be. If I can make 250ish whp I'll be happy. I'll worry about tires over the off-season. Who knows maybe something even better will come out.

 

Yeah they would have to break or no show. Good strategy on your side.

 

Did you get re aligned to fit the 295's up front?
