I had been running Castrol SRF Racing brake fluid. I switched to Endless last year to start the season off and its a noticeable difference after 4-6 events. The Endless is still good to go whereas the Castrol started to get soft, (pedal feel). Braking power was still good with my AP Racing CUP Rotors and Pagid RS-19's...no fade...just a soft pedal when using the Castrol after 4+ events....

PM'd you...

 

INFINEON 03.16 & 17th

Finally got these bad boys installed. Picked the car up Friday evening and headed to Infineon crack-o-dawn Saturday morning and was able to test both Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday testing went well. I actually felt the car had too much body roll. The Tech working with me suggested playing with tire pressures first before making any suspension adjustments. I followed his advice and the car got quicker throughout the day and in fact I set a personal best time for myself at Infineon. Saturday night I studied the user's manual in detail and decided to make some adjustments to the rebound dampening. First session on Sunday I beat my previous time set on Saturday. Times dropped throughout the day and now I have a new target to focus on.

Next outing will be at LS at the end of the month where I plan on increasing the rebound dampening another two clicks. We shall see how things pan out. I tried to drive my car home on the "Race" settings, not advisable. Its amazing how much change can be had through a few clicks up or down.



TRG Drop Links are beefy ****'s, but do not allow for full steering lock without hitting/binding up against the swaybar.

 

D, your butt o meter must be really sensitive if you're able to discern body roll like that.

 

Sorry, haven't had time for any updates of late after the new suspension install. Had my first testing sessions with it at Infineon three weeks ago and all went pretty well. Bested my previous fastest lap times on Saturday with 73 cars on track and then again surpassed that time on Sunday. The car/suspension still has plenty of room for improvement. Was at Laguna Seca this past weekend and set my all time fastest laps on RE-11's as well as R6's. My R6 times were almost three seconds faster.

Below is a HLT clip chasing a Ferrari 430 challenge car. This wasn't our fastest lap of the session, but definitely one of the most visually entertaining ones to watch.

The car is going back in for what I hope to be it third and final alignment for awhile next week.

The suspension is definitely decreasing my lap times but we need to dial out the understeering issues now.

Buttonwillows in two weeks. Hopefully she'll be ready to rock solidly then!

Cheers,

I was out with VID at LS and the clip is a few laps deep of the qualifying. I have caught up with the traffic at this point and making my way up when D comes up and pinches me off in a 997tt. His car is fast!

My speeds are all off because of GPS weakness:

Lap 2 turn 2 understeer? Yikes. Otherwise very nice video, car sounds great.

 

^^^^ Yes, that is MASSIVE understeer. We will be trying the adjust that out next week.

Posting 2 of XX : Lap 28/33 Immediately following our 1:37.88 lap.

Please note the infamous "Turbo" understeer as well as the tires that have fallen "off" their mechanical edge/grip just past the apex in T2 ; )

 

Sounded terrible, thought the car was going to fall apart Very nice times.

E-head sorry D made you look slow Very nice videos either way.

 

That's ok, I'm used to it- plus I can always hide behind my puny 500bhp and competition tires. Where as Daren is running superglue tires and >7000HP.

 

LOL. Good driving with all that traffic

 

700 bhp ?! What is D packing ?!

Mark,

1:37's is possible with our cars with less than 500 bhp. Last time I was there I was doing 37's with stock exhaust. Now that I have resonators/ modular eb exhaust, I can change the tips and use the exhaust at LS next time.
Plus my alignment was WAY off according to TCD.

Anyways ill be at Thill the 27th, maybe I'll see you there. BTW, when are you looking to do the intercoolers I know your baby is on the way so best on that

 

^^^ Actually its somewhere in the 650-675 range

I am one step under Champion's 700 package. I have been able to set my fastest times at TH and SP on my stock ECU flash as well: @ 480HP

At some point I'll need to dyno it. Champion claims I should be at 610HP/595 TQ

 

Once you get your chassi sorted out, you should be at 1:34 s at LS easy peasy.

 

^^^ yeah...just need to get that F car out of my way!!!!

 

you mean Fiat...get your alignment sorted..and i'll see you at the thill the 27th ... I put a deposit on the the z28 Camaro with ceramics. Suppose to be a track ready car for under 60k, with GM warranty for track usage .. so I wont be tracking the porka much longer.
