Hmm then maybe i'll start with soft on both ends and go from there, considering that last point you made.
I'm most certainly planning on running an aftermarket manifold. Wagner. It's going to be a minute before i get to it though because of all the pending work. Aero is in progress now and...
Car's gonna be decommissioned for a while since a few things have come in.
The wing and the splitter are in. So is the flex fuel kit. CTS intake too (it was in stock locally, no other reason....yes dumb).
By the time al that's done my camber plates would've arrived, along with the front and...
Was going to ask you about the gap when i saw the earlier pic. I've never used race tape, and didn't even know that it could be used to cover those kinds of gaps.
Yer. Joining the advanced group is done at one's discretion, provided it's not their first track day. That's....terrible. Wish the system here was like the US, where you get "bumped" into a higher class based on skill. Thankfully, most of the people here do have some common sense and don't jump...
I can share the rest of the lap but it's not really relevant to the dicussion. The interaction with these guys was limited to this section and i pitted shortly after.
The passing rules in advanced are typically "pass when it's safe" to do so. No point-by, no signal. Ideally you should try to...
Put in a 1:12.6 at the Club Circuit of the Dubai Autodrome. Not an impressive time by any means, but not the worst i've done considering the heatsoak. It was 31c, which is about 88f. Would like to bring that time down to the 1:10 mark, which is a big ask.....but i think the car has quite a bit...
Had a bit of an incident on the track. Keep in mind that this was in the advanced group. Also keep in mind that track etiquette differs from country to country. E.g. we don't do point-bys here. In fact you have to keep your windows up.
Came up behind a couple of cars, a Megane and a Subaru...
Got a few things done today. Verus hood louvres and TEQ CF badges
Also got a custom 3D printed snorkel done that pulls air from the grill area to the intake. Will be fun testing that out. We did cover the front with mesh as well to make sure no rocks get through
Thanks, will give it a go and see how it works out.
At the end of the day it's probably best to not overthink my initial alignment, within reason of course, and as long as it's track focused. I say that because i'm probably going to make monthly adjustments until i get it to the place i want...
Appreciate the advice man.
I do drive the car on the street, but i'm not that fussed about how it handles there vs how it handles on the track....within reason of course. Theres' a reason i'm not going with solid bushings all around.
I track the car with VSC fully turned off, so there's...
