The r3v autocross video thread

Learning that stang on slicks finally... won ESP this time so that's nice. Torsen diff is proving troublesome with the high load differentials of the slicks though, you can hear me battling it to put power down exiting right handers

here's my overzealous tire warming run, heh

MSNE autox 4/20

Get closer to the cones man!

Cool, you went to the Marina BMWCCA event.

3.46 is probably your magic number for local autox. Also your LSD clutches are worn, you're roasting the inside coming out of corners.

Thanks for the info. Ill have to rebuild it.

[Eric]

I drove about 30 miles to the event on brand new Dunlop Z2's (225/45/16). First run in the vid is the 5th run on the tires, 2nd run is the 8th run.

Nice work Gary Horneck!

My best run yesterday:

[Wh33lhop]

I was running out of gear in the straight aways in second gear. Not enough room to switch to third, but to long for second. I have a 373 LSD. What diff ratio would give me a longer second gear in my 325e?

^ Nice!

No video -

Cam screwed up. But, my new setup, and a 5th fastest raw time for the day. Took my class by 4.5 seconds.

Just ordered a sony action cam at a super cheap price!

CAn't wait for autox sunday

[Ocell]

New tires and a chip. Felt like a brand new car on course.

[Wh33lhop]

Yeah I am looking forward to the 245 rc1, though I don't exactly have the wheels to run em on.

[tinkerputzer]

That set up sounds damn fun Gary!

Only options i can find above 225's in 15" are:
235/50 r888
245/40 A6
245/40 maxxis victra rc-1 (not out yet)

Lots of choices in 17's though.

[Gary Horneck]

Damn few options. I went to 17x8/17x9's with 245/40 front, 255/40 rear Direzza II's on ESM wheels. Not the lightest wheel, but the grip is way fun.
