I really want to make it up there, but I still need to disect the old beast and figure out whats wrong. Wish me luck!

 

Chin Motosports sounds similar to 1010ths. I have done a couple events with them and you get a lot of track time. It's normally four 30 minute sessions with three groups. At the end of the day they do an hour or hour and a half open track for everyone too.

 

I have heard about 1010ths from the local group I run with (3Balls). I did a little bit of research and I found that Chin Motorsports is actually expensive compared almost to everyone out there but they do 30 min sessions and have less number of participants. So, if you have lots of $$ to burn and prefer less people this might be a better place. I actually heard about Chin Motorsports from a guy that was driving GT-R at the last track event. He said he didn't like 20 min sessions as you need to run up and grid as soon as they announce your group. When you have 30 min sessions you don't need to be worried about track time and go in 5 mins after the group starts and you'll still get enough.

OTOH, 3Balls is cheaper with more number of participants but you get more track time than promised every single time.

 

I've been wanting to do a 3balls and Chin event, but I think they will have to wait until next year. I still need to tear my tranny out. Believe it or not I am out of town for work in Detroit. I am staying at the Doubletree in Novi.

 

If you want to get a beer or lunch or something holler. :P 248-721-4861

 

Dominick sucks about the clutch. I'm probably done for the year considering I now have a wedding to pay for next year on top of tuition and Sarah's ring. *sigh*

 

Yeah the same. I am about 10 miles from Novi. Give me a shout. PM'd my number

 

Same here - I am not far from Novi. If you guys plan to get lunch, send me a pm or an email.

 

Deepu and Lee,

Here is the video from the first session at Mid Ohio last weekend with some of the TTU and TTS guys. The Silver Z06 at the beginning is my buddy, but he is just HPDE like me. You'll see the TT cars blow by me later in the video.

That was a fun session Dominic. Whatever happened that red TT car in the first session he was taking it slow.

 

Fixxxercask, you're not running a differential, correct?

 

I am running a Quaiffe LSD, but no final drive change if that's what you mean. It's the stock 3.5. I am thinking of going to a 3.9 or 4.08 over the winter.

 

3Balls is running an event at Grattan on Sep 11. HERE are the details

- Entry fee $200
- Unlike normal events this will have only 40 cars, 2 run groups.
- Group 1 has open passing
- Group 2 has point by passing
- 30 min sessions
- Morning sessions will be run normal direction and afternoon will be run in reverse

Too bad I can't make it

 

I was just hearing wheel slip in in your video, and was just trying to figure out if you were spinning the inside wheel (no diff) or just pushing the car hard. Thats all. Obviously it's the latter.


What do you think of the Quaiffe? I've been looking into getting a Carbonetic, OS Giken, or Nismo LSD. I really like the idea of a clutch type differential, but would love to hear what you have to say about the Quaiffe.

I've never tracked the car when it had an open diff in it, so I can't compare. I will say though, that the Quaiffe holds up really well. I have been putting it through hell. The car seems to exit the corners really well now that I have better tires and the diff helps it bite down and really go. Sorry I couldn't really help compare.

 

No big deal. It's just nice to find out what other people are running. Coming from the Subaru community there is such a wealth of information on parts and setups and, well everything. As far as these cars are concerned, not too many people run them, and it's tough to find information.

Did you install the diff yourself?

 

I did not install it actually. I normally do all the work on my car, but I buddy of mine do it for me.

 

Signed up for 9/11 at Grattan.

 

I can't decide where I should go for my next track day. I've been browsing motorsportsreg and stuff but I can't decide. I would really like to do another two day weekend event but finding something in range that would be ok for beginners kinda sucks. :P

 

Fixxxercask.....maybe I missed it, but what R-Comps did you end up with?
