I saw it, but I think I had a little more room than the guy speeding around super tight japan backstreets.

Works amazing....no movement at all on the track, easy to put on and take off. The only problem you may have is that they may not let you run it with certain clubs. I ran it in PBOC with no problems though and they are about as uptight as it gets..

Nice, are you sticking that to the upper part of the rear windshield? I've been wrapping my camera onto the bar behind the seats using one of these: Gripster Medium Flexible Tripod for Digital Cameras & Camcorders and it sucks. I need a good mount.

You can put it anywhere theres a smooth surface. I have put it on the outside of my door at 90+mph...on the hood...on the windshield...on the back window at any height.

here's one where I put it lower.

I know I wasnt being smooth, I wasnt trying to set any records and was unsettling the car on purpose a lot to see how it handled it.

Hell yeah

I spotted like 50 black BMW 328/335's in the video, but that's miami for you lol... Nice vid!

RCZ · 05-08-2009, 11:32 PM

Yeah Miami is rediculous...

MightyBobo · 05-09-2009, 12:34 AM

Which camera are you using anyway?

God those eyes are so dreamy...

Update from the track, we are on lunch break. Oil temps maxing out around 260 which is ok, but not great. Tires holding up.
Front rotors are crap, brakes are overheating if I don't baby them. Front rotors are scored, will be getting a new set asap. Power is good. Steering is good

I guess this is why they call it testing. At least temps are manageable... Also we need
To discuss the fuel gauge. It read more than a quarter tank so I figured I'd be ok for a ses, ran out of fuel 3 laps in. It is not accurate, fill up all the way and be safe.

I have pics to show u all what's left of the front rotors and pads.

I guess ill continue to baby the brakes for the rest of the day and hope ithey don't go through the floor like they already
Did twice. If I brake into a corner aggressively, they are done for the rest of the session.

Next mods: rotors, pads, lines, good fluid, coilovers, sways, dual oil cooler setup, wheels and tires.

Moral of the story, oil and brakes are most important first mods if your gonna track it.

Otherwise, this car effin rocks. Feels fantastic.

MightyBobo · 05-09-2009, 01:23 PM

You mean...oil cooler and brakes?

Diversion · 05-09-2009, 01:39 PM

Sounds like i'll have to get something a hair bigger than the Stillen oil cooler.. hitting 260 at the track still =(

Thanks for the update.

It really is bothersome to know that Stillen's oil cooler kit isn't really able to keep the temps down enough. I feel they really need to start offering a bigger core. I remember talking to them and they felt that the kit they offer is all the "normal" person needs, but from your experience, I don't think so.

I might start looking at some of the JDM oil coolers as another option. I remember seeing the Central 20 cooler as a fairly large unit(although very pricey).

Just a FYI. That setup isn't designed to attach to glass but only metal body parts of the car. I have seen many including ours that fell off the cars window. Something about glass it doesn't attach real well.

Almost destroyed the camera when it fell off at the track 70 mph.

Musashi · 05-09-2009, 03:38 PM

I agree totally on the breaks. I completely thrashed my tires yesterday at thunderbolt. A dual core oil cooler would be cool but we need to look into a thermostat.

I'm trying to research wheels for the track but the car is so new it's tough to find. I want to go much wider in the back and get slicks. Have you found any proper wheels yet?

Nismoz, you're wrong man. Those suction cups are actually normally used to mov panes of glass at an industrial level.
Its to grab the sheets and move them, they are designed for it. Today I put the mount on in the morning and it hadn't moved at all or lost any suction whatsoever by 2 pm.

Ok I got another session in after I gave u guys the update earlier and I changed my mind a bit.
I stopped pushing the brakes as hard and it held throughout the session. Of course I didn't go as fast but it was great and the pedal held for longer.

Overall I am happy with the car, it has plenty of power. Ill write more when I get home
