I know, took me long enough to get this loaded up. But here is an on-board video at the Round #4 Redline Time Attack

I have one more vid to upload from that event.

 

Pretty sweet man. I hope your gonna get a good coilover/tire setup. Remeber to get corner balanced as well. How much to enter a time attack event. Good luck with the kit and at the events.

 

Yeah my sponsor Nurspec.com is setting me up with a set of Volk RE30s (18x8.5 I think they are). They are wrapped in RT615s. I would like to pick up a set of Toyo R1Rs. Still stuck on running the Progress like PTuning or trying out the JICs.

 

Hey rythmn I guess youv'e heard of BC coils I hear there really decent for the price. Down here in Orlando they are really hot with the evo and sti crowd. JIC's are ballin I'm not sure but do they come with an extrenal resevoir. BC's office are located in Oralndo check out BC I think you'll be pleased with what they offer and if you want more proof just go to evolutionm.net or NASIOC that's the subby forum and read there post about these coilovers.

 

Question how did you go about getting sponsored I guess you must have worked real hard to get these companies to bring you on-board.

 

lots of emails...and the car to back them up

 

Your named after a famous soccer player lol but really that's all I thought it was tougher than that.

 

Looking good, but seems like you're entering the turns a little early. With better tires, you should be able to attack the corners harder though. When I ran the time attack at Summit Point, WV, I was on Yoko Parade Spec 2s. Man were those tires horrible. The Stoptech Stage 2 brakes outperformed the tires, lol.

 

I will have to give them a look over then and check them out. Two criteria I really like to have in a coilover system is:

1) Independent height adjustment from the spring

2) +/- camber adjustment (usually through a pillow ball mount)





"If you build it, they will come".....lol. I know a lot of people put together like packages and what not to send to companies asking for sponsorships. I have yet to do any of that. Everyone that's on board with me, offered after getting a buzz about what I was doing. They liked what I was doing, and the direction I was going, and drew up some incentives for me, and I accepted.

 

Entering to early? You think? I'm a noob at Time Attack, but what I was trying to do was to utilize straight line braking to try and setup the car to actually be in a position to be on the gas through the turn. Trying to attack the corner in more of a straight line fashion vs. slowing down considerably and using the cars carried speed through the turn. Cause the more I try to drive and turn at the same time, the more the car would push out to the corners.

Remember......this video is with Factory Scion Wheels and Tires that I have been daily driving on for 20K miles or so, and the same tires I used in two or three Autox events prior to the RTA event. The two Chicanes I was trying to make a straight line out of...to maintain as much speed as possible. This would have been greatly achieved had I had my wheel and tire setup.

 

awesome!

 

Going to any other events Travis?

 

Not this season, but next. I held off any more events so that I can put the money back into the car instead of the events. RTA track competition is $300-400 a pop! So, I want to make sure that I come a lot Harder in the second debut of the car.

 

NICE! :-)

 

Good stuff! Travis, I'm assuming you were running in the street class, where'd you place? Interested in seeing you far you'll go with the turbo setup!

 

RE30's only come in 8.5 if you get 18's that are 5x100 lug patterns

 

I placed 4th in the Street class. I could have walked away with a podium finish if I would have ran in the Stock Class/Rookie class, but two rules separated me from being in the Stock Class. My splitter was to far out, and my carpet was removed. But the Stock class does not allow aftermarket turbo kits, so....I just stayed in the Street class. I look forward to next season though. It being my home track, I want a podium finish.

 

I reckon that's what they are then..

 

sooo you arent boosted then or what? why is your car so effing loud then?

 

Naw bro...that's the way my car sounds N/A. Sold my turbo kit a while before running TA, cause I was trying to get my PTuning kit in time. But ran out of funds and time, so had to run N/A. All the other cars in my class except for the more Track prepped RSX Type S....were boosted.
