this car gets better and better everytime i see it, im glad the ditched the Kami bumper and went with a custom stock bumper, i love the cut outs in it!

spazegunn213

Thanks guys for the videos and the pictures!

The OE bumper is a lot lighter than the kami one, but after pegging a few cones, the rigidity of the cut outs was challenged... but it looks like thats the bumper we are going to run for a while. Now, we just need to make the splitter a little lower.

Added race day videos

That's cool about the PTuning tC. Any of our cars can be reliable on 14PSI with a good tune, long term the engine will show significant wear because of the added pressure, but then again turbo setups always show more wear then N/A. Our engines are built very well, but they could always be improved.

Naw it aint just you. Car does sound like an animal. And the crazy thing is, it's the stock motor.

Race Day video .2_wmv was really cool, when Ross came in for the Pit stop. Just the conversation alone was sweet. Talking about everything from tire pressures, wing adjustment and braking...I think that is what draws me to Time Attack, and Drifting rather than just drag racing. The later two, the driver has to be on par, and the WHOLE car has to be setup and balanced properly to achieve the performance you are looking for.

spazegunn213

setup is a VERY important part of how a car performs. Granted good drivers do drive well, but without a good setup times will still suffer. For instance, we started in the mid 1:11's for the weekend. I'd come in and say the car was pushing on turn exit, with throttle application. We then started adjusting the tire pressures, and it got better, mid 1:10's. But it was not great. So we still messed with the tire pressures before taking more extreme measures. We had the rear toe links ready to adjust, but with my banzi T1 braking we decided not to add any rear toe (although next time i want to try it). We decided on removing the front sway bar to give the front end a little more compliance. This helped a TON! and I'm sure would have dropped is unto the mid 1:09's for sure. But other factors kept that from happening... so we'll do it next year!

in the video under on the track ptunging_005 perfect timing getting that guy spinning out.

...man and that was completely by accident...LOL...I turned the camera on and.....BAM...he spun....

kanundrum

Is there any concern about snap oversteer ? I know at low speeds this isnt much of a problem but at that high of a speed would it be a concern ?

spazegunn213

At the moment there is not really a concern for snap oversteer. The car has such a long wheel base, and the suspension is setup a little on the push side. One of the reasons we decided not to add any rear toe was stability under hard braking coming off the oval. The car was dancing a lot already, and i did not want to have any more problems. Next time we might take that gamble though.
