Here for that update...

Youtube is really lagging on the processing. In the meantime I can post a hint or two.

[Wh33lhop]

Okay here we go. First time on Sears Point, first time tracking wheee30. Nothing even exploded, though the car has been down on power for the past few weeks (butt dyno says ~30hp shy of where it should be, but who knows) and the "high temp" RTV I used to seal the diff cover apparently wasn't high enough temp. I skipped the final session because the diff was leaking.

Also the rear tires were a bit bald and it got worse later in the day, of no help on my part. Here ya go. :)

[kronus]

you've got a weird line through 2 and 4, is that the diff forcing understeer?

[Wh33lhop]

Haha. Nah no understeer. Seemed like the fastest line to me.

[kronus]

anyway i wish i could've been out there! i miss that track.

[Wh33lhop]

Yeah you were right man. Best track in the Bay Area, definitely better than Laguna. I need to go back in the next few months for sure.

Damn that looks fun! Nice driving, could tell you were in the zone. Same spring rates and sway bars? How are the pfc 11's working out?

noiceeeeeeeeeee!

Thanks buddy, I'm always in the zone in this car :) yeah ASTs 600/780 and 22/19 sways, 3.5 camber and a little toe out. I do like the pads but wasn't confident in the brakes for unrelated reasons, so I was braking early. I think I have a weird booster issue or something, plus the pedal got a little spongy as the day went on. Again, nothing to do with the pads though.

I think of this as a shakedown run. The first time on track doing its thing and it was crazy fun. Can't wait to go back.

ugh so Jealous. better than Laguna???!?! interesting. Either way, I want to drive both tracks next year, just need to get some seat time under my belt. What group were you in? It looked like you were free to pass whenever a slow car was in your way

[Wh33lhop]

Yeah better than Laguna IMO. I really liked Laguna too.

This was the fast intermediate group. Point by recommended but not required. I always waited for a point by as I just don't trust people to see me and I have no power to pass on straights. Most of the point bys you just can't see since my passenger's head is in the way.

Yeah better than Laguna IMO. I really liked Laguna too.

I hear this alot. more turns and you dont feel like you need 900hp to get up the hill.

[Wh33lhop]

Here's what it actually looked like out there, lol.





teehee







Surprisingly some more body roll than I expected (yeah I missed the apex, fuck you that was the first session and the fastest corner)

[tinkerputzer]

Lol that's freekin awesome! I can't tell is the guy in the s2000 pointing you by or flipping you off :)
