ban, kick *** pictures man!

Thanks, guys! I'm already itching to get back out there, LOL!

I stopped by SpecialtyZ yesterday for an EcuTek tune with Seb. Made some very nice gains on a stock engine:

Thanks again to Seb@SZ! |
So this is what happened to my wheel at ACS last weekend:
http://i.imgur.com/kOLfRTh.jpg That's an otherwise brand-new tire (1 day old). No idea what caused it, this was the last session right before lunch and there was no indication of a problem beforehand. Now, my ABS, VDC Off, and Wheel Slip Indicator lights are all on solid. I'm taking the car into the shop tomorrow for diagnosis. |
damn dude! sorry to know about the problem that you have on last track day :(
|
Back on the track after finally discovering what had caused my ABS to go out -- it was a wheel bearing. Here's the video from Buttonwillow. Enjoy!
|
nice run my friend! :tup:
|
Merry Christmas everyone!
I'm getting ready for a weekend at Laguna Seca, starting tomorrow. Skies are expected to be clear -- a relief after my last event. My best lap at Thunderhill 3-Mile CW was 2:16.54: It was wet out there and despite being prepared for it mentally, I was still surprised at how easy it was to lose traction! Modest amounts of steering and throttle were more than enough to break the rear end loose: |
Awesome man! A bunch of us Socal guys are running with speed district in 2016. Hope to see you out there!

I'll be at Buttonwillow for the weekend of January 23rd. Josh is also planning to host some events at ACS in 2016, can't wait! |

The RE-71Rs are incredible! The best performing street tire on the market and likely better than Nitto NT01 -- we're waiting on Andrie Hartanto's review for the final verdict. I get about 6 track days on a set and I'm on my second set right now. I'll likely buy a new set in February, but we'll see how they wear. |
Here's my fastest lap from the weekend at Laguna Seca, 1:50.09:
This is 6 seconds faster than my last outing at MRLS, but I've still got work to do. I need to carve my corners more aggressively and improve my consistency lap to lap. My virtual best right now is 1:48. Suspension will make a big difference too. Next event is Buttonwillow, followed (likely) by Thunderhill in late January. I've got some more videos I'll post up soon! |
nice videos dude! :tup:
