Maybe get some washers and longer bolts for a quick fix?
Also how tall are you? |
The difference is too great for washers, IMO.
I'm ~6'5". With the stock seats my helmet nearly touches the roof... |

Maybe you can get a shop to modify those brackets if you cant find another? |
I am all legs. heh. If I sit in the 'wrong' position my helmet rubs. I have the stock seat cranked as low as it can go too. :)
I've been convinced to call V2motorsports about the coilover problem today. They have built at least 1 T2 Z (and the driver walked away from an amazing flip at mid-ohio) I'm going to see if they can do the seat and harness mounting at some point too. |
Well... this was fun. I was about 10mph faster than my normal turn in it looks like... that was enough to let the rear wheels slide I think. Next time brake harder into turn one. :) I realized I wasn't going to save it and tried to get straight but I wasn't really fast enough.
Mid-Ohio off track turn one on Vimeo I've got some more fun videos to post soon. Hopefully I'll get to post them tonight. |
That didn't look too bad at first, did you lift the throttle while correcting maybe? In any case, good outcome, nothing broken I assume :)
|
I don't remember lifting but it's hard to hear the engine over the tire squeal in the video. Nothing damaged but my pride and a clip popped out of the FL splash guard. Going to put 'er up on stands soon to double check everything.
I knew the instructor in the Mini... after the session she came up and harassed me and said her student felt bad. :P mini driver: "I think I made him do that" instructor: "He did that all himself." hah |
Damnit! I JUST realized that I forgot to plug in the OBD-II reader!
|
Better the kitty litter than the fence I suppose :)
Definitely turned in with too much speed, I'm surprised you didn't try to brake a little deeper after you realized you were coming in hot, but the shape of the track doesn't seem to give that much freedom. Cold tires probably didn't help either. |
I think if I had tried to brake again I would have done a 360 right in front of traffic...
|
nice journal. props on the turkey

Yup! Exactly. If I had been a touch harder on the brakes I would have been fine. I just misjudged my speed.
Thanks Pauly! He was tasty! |
https://vimeo.com/39718151 -- Sunday session with traffic.
One more to edit still. Friday I chased an instructor in a Z06 around. For an instructor in a more powerful car he was moving pretty slow. |
Last video for now. This is probably the best video of the weekend. Friday afternoon I got to chase down an instructor in a Yellow Corvette Z06. It seems so weird to me that I was able to catch and pass an instructor in a more powerful car. I think he may have been on r comps too but I'm not sure.
