Little go-pro action from the track day.

[fdjizm]

It was put together by my sisters boyfriend, if you look close you'll notice my awesome shifting skills as I miss 3rd and gracefully cruise

But that 1 to 2 shift tho, too bad I didn't get any interior vids of a clean run.

Awesome rental! I was struggling with some traction issues all day but that's just my luck. we had a bunch of fun with great people!

 

[JeremyH]

Cool vid with the different views!

 

[fdjizm]

Thanks man!, I made a little instructional video on how to miss 3rd like a champ.

 

[BadHabit2Break]

Thats pretty cool man.

The Fail is too much.....

The music meh, id rather hear the car.

 

[fdjizm]

Yea me too, he added it I just asked him to shorten the clips but he threw together a lil thing.
Can't complain.

traction issues due to track prep, or are you still messing with your suspension setup (LCA position, shock settings, tire pressure)?

 

[fdjizm]

Unbeknownst to me till I slowed down some vids at home, my tire pressures seem to be way too low.
I was messing with the shocks and 2 step rpm but didn't think to raise the pressure in my tires. I was at 14psi cold, but check out what happens at launch...
More rim slamming tire bounce, if the tired had more PSI it wouldn't get smashed. (at least that is my best guess)


Setup is UCA mount in upper hole and LCA relo's in upper hole so it's not too much anti-squat anymore.
Shocks on the QA-1 single adjustables I went from 3 from soft to 6 fromt soft to 4 to 5 etc... tried them all, no help.
Wish i would have thought of that shit at the track!
It bounces so fast you can only hardly see it in a slow mo.
My theory it's its hooking then unloading on the bounce and losing traction causing me to want to put my fist through the radio.
I went all the way down to 4300 on the 2-step.

here is the original vid...

 

[lindertw]

wow!

 

[fdjizm]

Uploaded the original vid, too quick for the eye to see the bounce!
I am going with 16psi cold next time out, maybe even higher.

Jealous of your launches bro!

Jealous of your launches bro!

so I'm planning to pick up a set of 15" Weld RTS rears (with M/T ET street bias ply tires) soon, but I have no idea what pressure to run with their additional sidewall. I don't want to replicate your videos

here's my 17" tire on 14psi (or maybe it was 15psi). I had to run it that low because there was minimal track prep. The tire moved just over 1/8" on the rim

I run 18psi cold at MIR, and it hooks so well I may start going higher

 

[fdjizm]

Yes see your tire isn't flat on launch, so I'm sure it ain't going to bounce back up violently.
I'll try 16,17,18 next time out.

that is one flat tire I got! I blame the track guys telling me how low they run their tires on their car.
This bitch is heavy.

 

[rcm90]

That's crazy. You need some d/a rears to control the hit.

 

[UltraKla$$ic]

Car sounds good and moves out!

 

[fdjizm]

Thanks homie, reppin that S197forum shirt too!

 

[UltraKla$$ic]

The camera angle of the in-car vid doesn't do your car justice on how it boogies down the track! Of course it wasn't supposed to but jus sayin. I like the way it scurries in the original vid!!

 

[Sharad]

That's crazy. You need some d/a rears to control the hit.

Same thought I had.

 

[fdjizm]

Once I get the right pressure I am sure I will be able to dial in something good with my singles.
I mean a bunch of people run singles successfully.

Trying to look for some front adjustables, I have STRt's up front.

 

[07graygt]

Need to get a mgw too. I used to miss gears all the time. Put the mgw in haven't missed yet.
