    Finally, a car video my son will watch -- he says the music is from a video game he plays. :)

      Haha, all of this royalty free music seems to get around.

    Thanks Jeff and Jack for sharing this with the rest of us. From what little I've seen of Jack through YT, he seems like a really cool guy to hang out with. I could learn a thing or 2 from him

      Jack is actually the head instructor at a bunch of open track days every year, so you actually could learn from him if you are keen.

    that's a wicked looking car. and as a v8 guy i have to admit a flat six at full song sounds awesome. diggin that 914 too. glad you had a good time in my country. :)

      I had a great time, and Jack's car at full song sounds amazing. The next closest car on the track was a V8 MX5. The Viper and the Ferrari, were not even close.

    Those aerodynamic bolt ons are well done, a really nice handling 911, thankyou for the video Jeff.

    • @HomeBuiltByJeff
      @HomeBuiltByJeff  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      All of his aero is home made, and it all works very well. The fact that he can drive his car to and from the track, kill everything out there and then drive it to the shops later that night, is awesome.

    • @truthseeker8483
      @truthseeker8483 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Will we be seeing some bolt on "built by Jeff" aero additions??? How about some active aero with electro hydraulic struts?

    I met you the day you came out to the track and I just found this video. To my surprise the first 45seconds or so I see my sons Spec Miata as you enter the track. Just wondering when you’re coming back this way. I’m working on a 1966 912 project (73 RSR tribute) that would love to have your input. Keep up the good work I really enjoy your cars and videos you make.

      It is a bit of a trek from Aus, but I will be back in the US as some stage.

    Wow, you packed a load into your short stay mate.

      I didn't stop, but I made the most out of the week.

    Great stuff Jeff , a bit dodgy with les predictable drivers in the way, I like the way Jacks car transforms in to a race car for the track then he drives it home again as normal .... Good luck with the windscreen : )

    Awesome vid Jeff! Hey, any idea what tire combo Jack uses on the track? Cheers!

    • @HomeBuiltByJeff
      @HomeBuiltByJeff  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I will have to confirm with Jack, but I think he was running Nitto R888's which last him 12 months on the road and the track. He did mention that he did a day with Hoosier's which were much stickier, but he only got one track day out of them.

    • @JackOlsen
      @JackOlsen 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      They're NT01s, 255 in front 315 in back. I don't think I'd be able to get that kind of longevity from R888s.

    • @HomeBuiltByJeff
      @HomeBuiltByJeff  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks Jack, I stand corrected ;)

    • @christopherflores6137
      @christopherflores6137 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Meats! Thanks gents! The PS2s I'm running right now (17x9/11 rim) are a bit too stretched for my liking. I didn't know NT01s came in 315/35 R17s...thanks for the top tip!

    Do you know if the front splitter Jack had was one he custom made or is that something available somewhere?

    • @HomeBuiltByJeff
      @HomeBuiltByJeff  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Jack made it himself from roof flashing. It is a very functional DIY bit of kit.

    Hey mate cool vid wen you painted your car was that a solid colour or matalic an what brand of paint cheers

    • @HomeBuiltByJeff
      @HomeBuiltByJeff  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      My car is a Signal Orange, which is a factory solid colour. I painted it with Unicolour paint in a Clear over Base.

      ***** just one more question if you hav the time was it urethane paint mate

    • @HomeBuiltByJeff
      @HomeBuiltByJeff  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes it was urethane. In my opinion acrylic lacquer always looks amateur.

    • @teranceable
