Mods won't compensate for chitting driving. They will get you in trouble faster.

OP, don't listen to these fools. You be you. You'll learn eventually. Or not

Turn 1: you can enter with more speed, stay tighter and closer to the wall on the left.
Turn 2: You can late apex this and can probably negotiate the turn without braking, just a lift of the throttle will probably do Turn 3: Track out to the curbing and widen the angle entering into 4 Turn 4: looks ok Turn 5: Stay closer to the wall on the right, use the curbs on the left Turn 6: Track out wider, look at where all the skid marks are....your car should be there Turn 7: You can sacrifice this apex in exchange for a straighter line into turn 8, providing yourself with a mini straight away Turn 8: Track out wider, again look at where the tire marks are Turn 9: You are turning in way too early and staying too tight, this is killing your minimum speed through here and your line for the next turn Turn 10: Track out to the wall on the left, brake late and turn in sharply towards the apex with the tires standing up on the right The next few turns are a loop, so just review 6 through 9. In general you're not using enough of the track and you're missing some apexes while hitting others that arent as important. Also this course is weird since you drive a section of it twice and it's difficult to know where the finish line is. Is it the tire barrier chicane at the end? Just my $.02, hope that helps

Both those things require speed and heat, neither of which you'll be able to achieve especially if you're not running laps on this course back to back. I'd recommend a set of square 18 inch wheels, the OEM stagger isnt doing you any favors on a tight course like this. The car has a tendency to understeer with that setup which seemed apparent from your video. Lastly, your current tire choice is probably ok. I tried Kumho Ecsta's before and didnt like em, super soft/squishy sidewalls and poor feedback. That said it's better than going to semi-slicks or anything remotely close to an r-compound. Stick with street tires, Federal 595 RSRR's are a good beginner tire. For a competitive autocross like setup Bridgestone RE71R, Nexen SUR4G, Yokohama Advan A052 and BF Goodrich Gforce Rival are all excellent choices. Like the others have said, before you buy any of this stuff, just focus on the fundamentals |
