FR-S vs Honda Fit? Streets of Willow
Overall I think we had an excellent battle! I had lots of fun testing out my new power increase and sway bar, but 420 treadwear tires are a no-no. Huge chunks of my tread have gone missing :burnrubber: sigh*
From my view! He comes into good view around 7:00 https://www.youtube.com/FAh6k7OcD6Q View from the Red S2000! https://www.youtube.com/7p25WrlVJM0 In my car it felt so intense, in the S2000 looks like I'm not moving :brokenheart: Best laptime for me was 1:33, hopefully proper tires will take it down to 1:30. The Maxxis R4S is pretty good for street and quick blasts of spirited driving, but now they are dead and the tread looks like it burned all the way through.. lol |
Turbo Fit ftw!
U still go to the Irvine meet? |
The S2k one??
|
Yes

Those tires were crying bloody murder the whole time. I wonder how much you would benefit from some DOT R compounds.
Also, the driver's modesty is refreshing. |
god stuff! :D

I seriously hate people with bad attitudes, makes me mad. So I try to have fun and be competitive, but not be an asshole :bs: Oh and just for reference, when I had 225/45/15 RS3s on and my turbo only putting out 113whp, I did Chuckwalla Valley Speedway CCW in 2:14. But when I went to 205/50/15 RE11s, the time went up to 2:17. So these 205/50 Maxxis tires must be dragging down a lot if I lost that much on 205 RE11s already! |

Do you work with Tyler? |
Yeah I saw him regularly!

Small world... time to get you a FRS or BRZ? ;)
|
i dont work there anymore :/ but they did put me and my car in the magazine a few times. They hooked me up with rims, tires, and a bunch of supporting mods for my Greddy 4psi Bolt-on turbo kit. After they got me bigger injectors, pump, blow off valve, test pipe AND high flow cat, Hondata, and a tune from the guy who makes hondata and my sister giving me her boost controller.. we raised the boost to 10psi and now my car outputs 170whp and 170 tq. I am still using stock clutch and my engine mounts are on their last limbs, so I was pretty nervous driving at first.. It felt like they kept together fine though

BUT I didn't do the pedal dance and the driving felt awkward at times so NOW I must get them to let me drive it again!! |
Perhaps it is just the view from the video, but it appeared that you are very early on many apexes. If this is so, there should be quite a bit of time to be gained with improvements in your line and car control. Also, the tire squeal on corner entry is often an indication that you have too much speed going into the corner; it's usually better to brake more and use your power to pull the car through the corner.
I definitely looks like you are having fun, so keep driving! |
