Hello Sub2club/Over2club
This is James' story on his journey to enjoying our track hobby.
If you guys have been following the Sub2club channel, you will remember James Wei. James used to own a 981 Porsche Cayman which had the GT4 conversion. He has since moved on to owning two of the most popular JDM chassis currently. And I really like how James is building ultimate track/street cars with all of the amenities we want plus more. I will continue to follow James and see his future car choices and how he truly enjoy our hobby!
Genuinely appreciate all of you for watching the videos and subscribing to the channel!

I did something similar, sold my 911 last year and bought 2 cars, modded them and still had a lot of money left over.

I always kick myself for not biying an 01 Integra type R i test drove. I had 00 Si at the time. Si got stolen in 02 so I ended up getting a Rsx type S. I always dreamed of having a type R as well and traded my Porsche Macan in on an FL5. I absolutely love it.

@Sub2club Ай бұрын

nice! I'm sure it can carry as much luggage as Macan!

@Coolmaninmotion Ай бұрын

It's hilarious how as we get older we go back to basic cars for fun. I also drove very expensive cars before I ended up with a GR86 and an Integra Type S which is basically the same thing as this video. Very similar mods too! I'm on the verge of adding forced induction to the GR86. Still deciding if I should turbo the GR86 as I may "disturb" the original GR setup. I'm going to enjoy them unless I fall in love with the new MB CLE53 AMG or wait for the 63!

@Sub2club Ай бұрын

hahaha, that's cool. I personally don't like adding forced induction to NA engines but that's just my preference. I'm sure the GR at your local track is as fun as it would be FI!

Great builds! I have a 22 GR86 6AT, and its my first rwd sports car. Its mainly a daily street build/weekend track car and its one of the best platforms Ive owned. Came from fwd/awd cars in the past, but this platform has been so much fun and looking forward to many more years with it. Best of luck on the builds!

I have s2000 and FK8. If you can only have one car between GR86 or FL5....it would be the GR86....and save the rest of the money for something else better in our lifetime. New Type R's are too big, and lack the same feel as the 90's 2000's fun cars. GR86 is as good as it gets for now , despite having engine weakness.

@Sub2club Ай бұрын

yeah, definitely agree with "lack the same feel as the 90's". Cars are getting bigger and stronger but losing some of the agile fun!

Um what? Not sure about his comment on heel toe where he doesn't think you have to match the RPMs and having the car's "momentum pull RPM where it needs to be...". That's not correct.

@Cichlid_Visuals Ай бұрын

maybe if you're just driving around like normal to avoid lurching, but the fastest drivers on tsukuba in these cars, including nobuteru taniguchi, allow a bit of clutch drag on each downshift.

@apex_gr Ай бұрын

lol. ok god tier racer. there's a reason why "slip" clutch is pro and why people upgrade clutches to withstand abuse. go watch any pro manual drivers in motorsports. they drag the clutch a bit.

@jl7676 Ай бұрын

@@Cichlid_Visuals If you're "driving around like normal", there's no real need to heel and toe. It makes more sense when you're decelerating from high speed to do heel toe.

@jl7676 Ай бұрын

@@apex_gr if you're drag the clutch while trying to decelerate fast, you're gonna jerk the car and disrupt balance. There's a reason why you're supposed to rev match...to match the revs for the next gear down. I don't need to be a god tier racer to understand this. Go watch more in car footage of race drivers. You'll see how they all blip enough to not cause that lurching. It's a smooth heel toe - rev match - downshift as they approach a corner. And they upgrade clutches because they're racing with high horsepower cars. Clutches just simply wear out faster, not because they're purposely dragging the clutch. SMH.
