Oh hello, that's my ND spewing oil everywhere. Thankfully, it was just the oil cooler line. As suspected, my slightly askew mounting of the sandwich plate was allowing the fittings to hit the subframe coming into turn 1, eventually knocking one of them loose. I never lost oil pressure and everything has been fine since I remounted everything, but still, not how I wanted my day to go. Otherwise, that's a really impressive time for your set up! All I could think watching this was how much you'd benefit from some 200tw's and sway bars though!

glad everything turned out alright! it def looked pretty scary. thanks! I'm super psyched to get them on the car, they should be a serious game changer

@miguelmochon Жыл бұрын

I think the car should be more reactive into turns. Seems to have some understeer in the entry of corners. Maybe you could try to increase front bump/rebound a little bit even decrease front height. Good video, I like to see you on track. If you ever come to Spain, have a look into Jarama or Jerez tracks. I'm pretty sure you would love them =)

njmp, pocono, and sometimes Englishtown. just sign up for a track day near you and make sure your car can pass tech 👍

Ahhh I’ve been waiting for this video. Can’t wait to see you get faster and faster now with little tweaks here and there. Don’t know if it was placebo or not but after you messed with the rebound in the front I felt like it translated a lot to the way the car settled into corners.

@dadhats Жыл бұрын

appreciate the wait! I was taking my sweet time putting this together lol 😅 thanks! def not placebo, stiffening front dampers has worked really well for me in the past on airlift too

where you had your incident and the other similar turn before the back straight. Use the curbing to your advantage as it can aid in the rotation you are looking for. it looks like a nice curbing to use

wanting to start tracking my gt86, wondering how you are revmatching so well while braking? Is it just experience driving the car do you think or have you made an adjustment to the pedals if so how? I try to but the pedals are just in such an awkward spot!!!

@dadhats Жыл бұрын

there's an auto rev matching feature on ecutek that I use. lots of people including myself have that issue tho. verus engineering has a fix for the pedal spacing

I have no idea. I just changed em out recently since I had a coil pack issue. it may not be worth it on the fa24 from what I've seen ppl only gained like 7hp. vs on the fa20 I gained at least 20hp

if you live in the northeast Englishtown's raceway park is by far the cheapest seat time you'll find. other than that it's up to the orgs to pick their rate. track night in america is the cheapest entry fee I've found
