Love your work Robispec and thank you for the fantastic late night alignment! I could really feel the front end bite on the corners and the car was nowhere near as loose as I was expecting. Overall, it was very planted and handled Laguna very well. I ran a 1:58 in an otherwise bone stock car. I'm looking forward to bringing my car back to you for more suspension and chassis goodies.

Anyone looking for an alignment in the Socal area should defintely take your car to Robispec. The man knows his stuff and his car is beast in the corners (my neck was working hard to keep my head on straight during the ride along with him at Streets of Willow lol).

I met Robert Fuller a few times. Good guy. Fast guy. Saw him on 2 wheels in an EVO at Summit Point back in 2007 ! Fearless.

Another time we ate some burgers at In and Out half way between LA and Long Beach ! Good times.

He can build a car and drive it fast.

Hope all is well my friend! Good build. Car is WACKED !

Ran at BRP #13 clockwise 5 seconds faster than the next triplet.....looks like we are getting this car figured out.

I notice that you're a second quicker around BRP on the NT-01s. Useful to know. Someone in another thread wasn't convinced.

Oh, and nice times. So close to 2:00 on the stock motor!

ultra · 02-12-2013, 01:58 PM

Off topic but...

I met Robert Fuller here in Dubai. He was famous on EvoM amd I had an Evo so it was like having Elvis in town for me. Guy was totally unassuming though - Santa Claus loke figure in a beat up T shirt and super greasy fingernails among a whole bunch of local racer folks in their very spotless fancy team-branded outfits. Robi might or might not have shaved or slept in days but that man was wrenching on cars non stop like a machine. He just came in for a few days but made some fancy race cars (and a few street cars) much faster. Some upsets in the local championship ensued later on and nobody knew why. I LoL'd.

Before he disappeared back to the states I managed to corner him in a pit garage for literally a couple of minutes between his wrenchings on the customer cars to ask him some probing Evo related questions even though I was just some Joe Schmoe and keeping in mind that I had no clue when the poor guy might have slept or eaten. He doesn't remember me but he shaved a good second a lap for me so I remember him, ha!

Class guy. Down to earth. Real deal. Etc.

RS3 is a pretty damn good street tire.

Tire sizes? I'm mostly curious about the RS3 vs NT01 at BRP13CW.

GTM_Challenge · 02-12-2013, 04:58 PM

Those are come close times for RS3 and A6s. Is that with the car with the exact same setup? I find a 1 sec. discrepancy between the RS3 and the A6 hard to believe...and I've driven on both extensively with my s2000 and miata.

we had a mechanical problem with the front end that was discovered later
the RS3 times that day were 1:27.9 for me the driver so the hoosiers were almost 3 seconds a lap faster. Same day same setup same driver/car. And yes the hoosiers need a different setup...
