yeah i am going to Minnesota in January so i will try it again up there on real snow (they got 15 inches over the weekend) and the altitude wont be as high

 

Here is a in car from the lap timer. Its from a early session, I have the phone facing forward so I can set the data logger so the camera is using the front camera which is only VGA I think. Quality is not good but I like that I can see what my eyes are doing (or not doing) in the rear view mirror. Had a lot more wind noise then I thought I would, guess two mullets are in the future.

 

That was cool with the Harry's lap timer.....I need to get me that app and find something to hold the phone.

I thought I saw a commercial for a new suction cup holder for the iPhone ? Anybody see it ? Send me the link.

 

i can't see this stuff at work so i'm pissed off -

every single month 150 bucks - i won't be able to make it out again until i get tires of some sort -

i need to get 305's for the work wheels too - just for pat lol - i might go with 295's - not sure yet -

 

i am right there with you mike, but what if funny is all the pics from photbucket are blocked, but the youtube videos show up...

you get the wrx put back together yet?

 

That's pretty impressive. I just eyeballed mine since I don't have proper timing equipment and my fastest lap was around 2:10-11 as well.

Scott, I know you like making your own stuff, and I'm sure you probably don't want to pay $20+ for some piece of fur. Here's how I made mine for $1.

Materials needed:
-sample fur (I bought mine from ebay for $1 shipped)
-thick double sided tape (already had white 3M 5lb tape.. GoPro gray 3M tape is 25lb, which is overkill and harder to take off later)

You just cut and apply appropriately sized tape onto the skeleton housing (tape around the 2 holes), then cut and apply backing-sized sample fur. Just make sure the 2 holes are covered by the sample fur only. Done.

 

Travis & Mike...you guys should get an iPad...then you can surf at work and not be on their computer at work....surely you have wifi there ?

 

Chris if you just want the timing you can use any in car phone holder. If you want the camera then you have to think about vibration and being able to get the phone to sit at the right angle for the camera. Thats why I ended up making my own mount, I couldnt find one that would let the camera have a clear view and be pointed the right direction.

It works great for the money, 30 bucks? or so for the pro version. I do have issues but its mostly me not doing something right. I think I have it all figured out at home and screw it up at the track. You can see on the vid that the little G meter goes the wrong way for the direction of turn. I must have hit the orientation button at the wrong time so it thought I was upside down. That was the first time at a known track so it was cool having all the points built in for splits.


Thats what I said when I clickeed your link, 20 bucks for that, bet I could make it like Chris P.

going to look at the cloth store or wally world for something like that, Thanks for the info

 

I think I found my brake vibration. Looks like my right front rotor is warp by almost a .10 of an inch, factory spec is .0014 runout. The left was out of spec also but not by much.

Its Rotors and brake pads for Christmas, I am going to need a heavy duty stocking for the fireplace.

 

No lumps of coal this year !

 

they do but they still have all the same filters in place... not to mention i dont want to get in trouble with my cush decent paying job for effing off on the internet too much.

so now that vacation is done, christmas presents bought..... back to spending money on car, need to double check but if i have my way the order will be placed friday!

 

Travis please do tell !

I bought myself some new front rotors already and there will be more...just don't know what.

It's fun when your my age....you just find stuff you want and buy it for Xmas ! And say it was from Santa !

 

let just say they have the initials A.R.T. in them.

pat, i may snag that harness off you if you dont get rid of it soon

 

Stop spending money on car mods and spend them toward modding on your driving skills!

Man, lots of cool mods for everyone. My recent mods consisted of maintenance items, lol.

 

i will agree with you on driving skills.... i need to get out there. the only real reason that i am getting them is that cat cracked again and it is driving me crazy hearing it rattle. so screw it, going to take them off send the cracked on to Kinetix and try my hardest to get them to replace it and then offload them for about half what i paid for them

 

104mph! i was doing at least 195 in that straight - blew right past the governor

nope nothing on the dub wrex travis - won't be messing with that until after the new year sometime - gonna be around meh 400 bucks or so on white line parts etc - i'm hoping to have it and the 350z running for some track/autocross days - see which one is faster lol -

 

Lol....Pat said he was getting up to 120 - 130 on the straights !

 

you wouldn't know it by his brakes - looked like he was braking somewhere around mid straight lmao - brickyard brembo ftw haha

 

I remember seeing 105 a couple of times, but don't remember anything faster than that. I don't understand how you guys got to 130-150mph.

 

I think if i pushed it i got 115 - 117 - i don't trust myself or tires to shut it down every lap that aggressive - average is 107 -110 for me and that feels brave -
