    Have you ever tried riding bikes? I used to race AFM at Thunderhill and I think you'd enjoy it quite a bit. For far less than what you put into a track built car, you can go quite a bit faster on a bike. The skills you've developed and mindset transfer over nicely as well!

  • @Under9Kadventures
    @Under9Kadventures 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Amazing run. Correct me if I’m wrong, but compared to your videos of you driving your S2K it looked like this car was “easier” to drive with less mid corner steering corrections. It looked so stable.

    • @Zygrene
      @Zygrene  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Exactly right. This car is a lot more stable on corner entry/exit, and when it does slide, it is easier to catch.

    • @Under9Kadventures
      @Under9Kadventures 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Zygrene do you think the spherical bushings alone would really help make it easier to catch/control the slide. I have coilovers now, given not even close to that high end of a setup but always wondered if the spherical bushings are worth the price.

  • @ayowser01
    @ayowser01 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    What's the major difference between the factory lsd and the ATS? Like, are you able to get on the throttle sooner coming out of corners? Is it more stable upon corner entry during trail braking? What's the service life like? Type of oil used and how frequently is it changed?
    Btw, your excitement for the ats lsd nearly has me sold on it 😁

    • @Zygrene
      @Zygrene  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Definitely can get on the throttle earlier on exit, and when the tail starts to slide it's also a lot more controllable by modulating the throttle. With the factory LSD I can feel the inside tire slipping when I'm aggressive on corner exit, especially 2nd gear corners. No idea on service life haha.

    • @ayowser01
      @ayowser01 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@Zygrene It seems that the only downside to this lsd is oil change intervals being ~2-3k miles. Do you happen to know if this car has an increased capacity cover? I believe you can get away with longer intervals between oil changes, as well as cooler opetating temps with one.
      Now all I need is the 3-way JRZ setup... 😀
