Have fun out there!

@@neildesai21 Thanks, I definitely did! 1:32.4 on a stock BRZ :)

I think the OSGiken makes maintaining exit rotation easier. 500 lbs springs all around. I use the spl front arms and tie rods for bumpsteer and roll center adjustment

How you doing buddy!

Yeah I was genuinely surprised. The track was more fun than it looks on paper!

Thanks!

TT5 so base of 14.5 lbs per 1 hp

@@neildesai21 looks and sounds like a very fun racecar. 🤙

@@ShiftyIntentionsshe gets the job done!

I’m here if you need me!

Me neither 😂

It’s a tad bit slower, since no exit curbs to rely on. T4 feels “easier” and the esses are easy to just roll speed through

@@neildesai21good call out.

Love it, unfortunately James no longer tunes cars but he was the best in my opinion. Now if I had to tune, I would go with Zach at Counterspace garage.

Thank you!

Combination of light weight, moderate aero, and good tires!

I’ll work on that!

I am on MCS 2WNR coils. Although at a track like this stock dampers wouldn’t be terrible.

Shake and bake like ricky bobby

Yeah man I will be at 8/6 day at FIRM and 8/19-20 at Sebring.

This is a guess but I know I am close to factory recommendation. I don’t really deviate much from there so always just +\- 2 clicks from there.

F: 8 clicks R - 4 clicks C R: 9 clicks R - 4 clicks C 500 lb/in springs all around.

My main springs are fairly stiff. Ride control seems well balanced as is. I am of the belief you want to run the softest spring combination possible for higher mechanical grip.

@@neildesai21 The car looks great indeed. I'm under the impression that with a square tire setup, you would want the load to be split more equally with similar sway bars front/back. I replaced both bars and the rear got increased more then the front, the rear can take it, to me slight oversteer is better then slight understeer. Then again there are many adjustments you might have done to change the balance. Try out an adjustable rear bar!

@@Iseenoobpeoples the change would also be dependent on weight balance of the car. Everything behind the camera is deleted for me. So the effective bar to mass ratio is higher in rear than front for my case.

I would say the RE71RS will last much better than the previous version did. Only time will tell though!

I use a go pro sticky mount on my harness bar with a 3” riser to get the camera to peep out of the windshield better.

@@neildesai21 would you like this vertical pole solution as shown in my videos? th-cam.com/video/7LSEi4CS3Ac/w-d-xo.html

That is a shift light to give you a heads up to upshift. It’s enabled when the car has TCS off.

Thank you. I did not clutch out this particular time to truly engage 3rd and get any engine braking. To be honest I was a little late to the braking zone due to the unexpected slide after the big bump. Had the slide not happened, I would have clutched out and done two full downshifts to get some engine braking in.

@@neildesai21 any idea if it happened to me and I downshift straight from 4 to 2, would it cause any damage at all?

@@lojts No damage as long as when you are releasing clutch, the car is at a speed within the rev range of second gear. I know quite a few people who do this. I prefer not to so I can make crisp, clean throttle blips for rev matching (this was a bad example of that lol).

I have 9K swift springs F/R. Without aero I would run 8/8 personally

I did build this car for him and I am his driving coach so I’d hope to get a few laps in!

Thanks ✌

Thank you. I am using an auto blip feature of my tune. It's not as good as the OEM ones from GM/Porsche though, so I need to clutch in for each succesive downshift as it doesn't account for what gear I am going into. The 86's pedals are so well placed I can generally achieve the same results on my own but in places like T7 this helps a lot.

I'm still not the man you are through there but next time I will experiment with a brush brake while still on full power. It's so hard to scrub like 3 mph lol.

No, I wish. Florida international rally and motorsports park.

I appreciate the kind words. Car easily has a low 1:18 in it. I feel exit of the banked left turn was not optimized and I overslowed for the fast right by a few mph.

@@neildesai21 Don't know the track but it looked like you hit most of your marks! I'm really enjoying my Gen2 BRZ! I'm 76, so when I get near a podium time I'm very pleased.

@@escargod the power of the Gen 2 is much better. If you miss a few mph at apex, you at least have torque to pull yourself out. Feel free to send me video at your home track. Would be more than happy to analyze your technique.

Thank you!

Heck yeah man, learning from the best!
