Went back to Attesa to run Podium Club CW config yesterday at a private event.
On a lap with a bunch of mistakes I went 1:43, which is a second quicker than the TT5 record and four seconds a lap quicker than I went last time I was here two months ago.
I think that can be attributed to:
1. Car setup much, much improved
2. More seat time in the car
3. Taking advantage of the cool weather early
I let a friend who runs a TT5 2022 GR86 / used to run a 2015 BRZ in TT5 drive the car for a session and he said the car felt significantly more stable than his and felt much better in the mid range. He also said the tire feedback is non-existent (Nankang AR1s)... which made me feel like I'm not crazy. He was within a few tenths of his GR lap time wise (1:46).
While he was out in my car I drove a friend's S2000 and I was once again reminded how much I love how those cars work. Super easy rotation under braking and puts the power down early extremely well. I did a 1:46 in that with the owner as passenger.
I had a couple issues with the car, both throttle related, but still managed to put 90 track miles on it before another throttle body bolt broke and I was unable to extract it at the track.
DBW codes + DBW disabled issues:
P0228 - DBW TPS 1 Voltage High
P2109 - DBW TB Disabled
P2135 - DBW TPS 1 Voltage Correlation
P2165 - DBW Throttle 1 Relaxed Sensor Mismatch Settings
Had to limp back to the pits with 6th gear idle. Both times it happened when I was on my cooldown lap and in the same spot. One of the pins on the TB was kinda scorched. I switched the DBW to only read TPS sensor 2 instead of averaging them and it didn't happen again, obviously not a solution or super safe but it is how I finished the day.
Oh well, more to figure out before the next event.
