^ well actually this topic is probably very pertinent to this select crowd and few others ;) [my last post on the topic though Tony, no worries!]
I worry about limiting camber in situations where the trajectory is curved, which if I understand correctly is what phunk's proposed modification will do (as it is designed for maximum tire contact patch in straight line acceleration under load). I have had my car aligned multiple times, finding the limits of each part added and researched this a bit before buying all SPL suspension parts. There are some non-trivial patents filed by super car manufacturers e.g. METHOD TO CONTROL TOE ANGLE AND CAMBER ANGLE IN ACTIVE REAR SUSPENSIONS OF CARS - Patent application that appear to indicate that this is not a simple problem with an easy solution, requiring linear actuators and dynamic electronic adjustment. Of course always open to new ideas (and phunk has proven himself an innovative indidivdual)! |
you guys need more sidewall...

MEH....FML I missed my alignment appointment, today, was my youngest son's 1st birthday, so had to cancel...lol
Anyhow, fooling around near a friend's house for a bit and trying out a different setup on the GoPro...much better, but I did keep speed down(residential area) below 45ish. Anyhow, a "kinda" hard 3000rpm launch(which would instantly throw the car into 420+ ft lb easily) pretty much slid through 1 to 3, but the tires are still fresh, camber is still **** and tire pressure still high from a 90 mile commute the past 5 days(gotta save SOME gas). Anyhow, at least you can hear the car and not the wind, just something to chew on I guess. But you kind of get the idea of how violent this kit is. Most of the driving is tip-in and part throttle, the damn thing spools like no other and this is with the "street" sensitivity and timing maps... This car...is totally daily drivable. My commute has tons of traffic, hills, turns, stop and go's. It has not flinched, not an inch. Everything is this kit works together and my supporting parts are seamlessly working out to be a factory-fit ride....with asinine amounts of power. |
I like what im seeing! :D

Oh and this one from yesterday as well...part of my commute home. Tried the "windsock foam in backplate" method, was terrible. Muffles sound and still got wind noise. Yes, my exhaust is quite quiet as well.
Looks like a mic is the way to go....gotta buy a case, mic adapter and mic though...:owned: Anyways, just popping BOVs like collars in this one, nothing crazy. There is an on-ramp at the end, but the radar detector went off(there was a highway patrol about half a mile down flicking instant-ons, so another win for valentine v1), so I pulled off of it, car hooked a lot better than my re-11s here. Slowly getting better at using this magic little camera! Awesome if you have kids as well! |
Nice :tup:

I know who's GTR this is and have seen it in action it's one of the fastest in the northeast. On it's old setup the car did a 8.6@166 MPH the car is even faster now. |
Well the passenger side got smashed at tx2k14 last weekend

I know the car was down there with the Alpha 16 setup sucks it got smashed. Quote:
For people to race in the rain is crazy all the video I have seen so far from it haven't had any of that. The Texas 2k is something I have been dying to go able to get down there yet. |

Back on track.....some short in-car soundtrack on the phone, because it was friday..yes, that is the most amazing airbag indicator you have ever seen!
How sad should I be that my phone's speaker is 10x better than the gopros? :ughdance: Have a good weekend y'all, late night shopping for me is all done, time to sleep :tup: Tony, gonna give you a call next week, I might just want to knock out a date for us to start that little project when you guys stop installing 21301239981 TT kits....haha. Will give you a ring brotha! :driving: :driving: |
The calm before the storm...

Wow I wish I had one of these near me I would be on it already that nice to have that in walking distance from your house. |
One of my concerns is my 1500mi drive home, I have to make sure here are e85 along the way.

You could always get tuned on both you would have to run the E85 out though since we cant run flex fuel on our cars yet that's suppose to be an option with Ecutek though. |
