Final time attack event of the season is this sunday. I have registered for 1 class down from where I have been. this track has two long straights where time is made with power, something i dont have much of right now. No point in trying to compete with the 300-500hp subarus here. Brake pads...

for some reason the link is broken here but im sure i can find something similar on amazon. Ill have to give it a try for sure

Interesting my. I just tried it at my desk. Took 12 seconds of video then pulled the plug without stopping recording and the recording was gone. I have a hero 7 black Hmmm ok good tip. I will need to see. Worst case I can hardwire it but I’m guessing the GoPro takes 5 volts so I’ll need some...

This is good to know thank you! So, what i found today. When you run on battery and the battery dies the gopro will at least save all the footage up until then. With the direct power source, if you remove power you lose whatever footage. This means when i come off track i need to remember to...

Just tested it. seems to work fine off usb type C direct power with no battery. Now to just set this up in the car...

Can the GoPro run off a direct power source? Like I’ll run a cable to it if I can that would be alright

Decent lap from Wednesday. Stupid GoPro always fucking dies on the fastest laps. I hate that thing. We can see here. Much wot time. Much driving. This is a quick one. Car makes some serious G’s in a few places too lol. Dayumm Grand Bend Technical - First track day after engine replacement

I definitely need something upgraded. I mean stock is OK to 8500-8600 at most. It’s not terrible but it’s definitely slower lol. We’ll see. For now the idea is to have a spare ready to go so I don’t miss events and shit. I hate that. Even if it is a stock engine whatever

The cylinders go oval over time. Can’t just stuff new pistons in there unfortunately. Need machine work and all that. Maybe a stock unfucked with engine is the best spare lol

Might be the move. For sure I need 1 backup. I kinda wanna do a budget built back up using the cheap rods and cheap oem style pistons available. I think that would be cool but it’s money

I could probably get all of the currently for sale engines for like 3k total. Much less than another build lol. I do have my engine at the machine shop though. Hopefully I have a power upgrade for next season that actually lasts. This current engine id like to keep as a spare

Instead of building another I’m gonna buy every single one off Facebook lol. Maybe this is the way

Took a half day at work today and fucked off to the track. Wanted to give the car a shakedown before I register for Mondays track day. The weather was fantastic today. Cool air temps but plenty of sun warming the ground. Ideal conditions. The car has the 8500rpm German safety tune so...

The last competition of the season is September 14th. I’m trying to move down a class cause of my engine downgrade. I just don’t have that little bit extra anymore and track has 2 long straights where I’ll just be throwing time away. If I move down a class I’ll be in a much better spot BUT rear...

The rear deck plastic and the dead’s are the heaviest. Around 40-45lbs there. The rest adds up to maybe another 10-15lbs. I was thinking of getting some sub box carpet and making a rear seat delete panel but that’s still outside of the rules and I could be protested. In the one series, I’d...

This is kinda my goal. I can go to whichever event is at the track I want or works for my schedule. I guess I should stay with this goal. Gives me more options for competition. Just means I won’t be optimized for either rule book. Like I gotta put my rear interior back in which sucks

My buddy said the same. This is probably on purpose. I just don’t get it though. I know the two series are very different, nerds vs fast and furious basically. But why not make the rules more similar? This would allow people to compete in both series without being forced to build for one or...

This is true. While one rule book kinda accepts this and lets it be, the other rule book must be trying to keep costs down. The way the rule is written is dumb though. 2 way dampers are allowed but no remote reservoirs. The other series just says “oh you have coilovers? Just take this penalty...

I was considering having my coilovers upgraded into 2ways with remote reservoirs. My one series the rule book says no remote reservoirs allowed. but 600hp? no problem. thats allowed. My other series, no problem. Ive already taken the penalty for coilovers so i can have 4 ways if i want. LOL...

There was a pretty specific application I had to fill out. Asking all sorts of shit about the car, current build, future plans, all sorts of shit. Cars usage. Blah blah. Then they ask what I can offer them and why I’m worthy. I filled it out well. I mentioned the class I compete in...
