Ya, there was no point in the afternoon - I only need to get within 1.1s of my fast lap to hold 2nd so I tried 2nd/3rd session Sunday but it was so much work to not even come within 3s of morning times.
I was on RE-71RS's, with the same reverse stagger and setup as ABCC (and largely the same...
Trey ("David") in the Sport 3 FK8 had an issue with an off for Segment 1 (the surface was pretty craptastic all weekend, and differently craptastic in different places depending on the session). Trey actually went off/on in T1 in the session right before my video above, which also had big...
Hi, it's me again! I've got the FL5 and my collection of RAM mounts at TT Nationals at PittRace, doing what I can! I'm running in Max 4 due to my fuel pump, injectors, and e40, and I'm actually in a pretty tight competition with a Frankenstein Motorworks V6 swapped 2nd Gen MR2 that's really...
I saw you had mentioned this before which is interesting as I tried +R long press before and didn't notice any useful changes. I've gotten pretty good about managing the throttle and with JST's tune updates for torque reduction in lower gears I really don't have an issue, but I may have to try...
Pressures are very specific to alignment/wheel width/tire size/tire type/driving style/suspension setup/etc, so my pressures shouldn't be used directly, but just as a reference point, for 285/30R18 RE-71RS on an 11" wheel width (front) I run ~27psi cold, and on the 255/35R18 RE-71RS on a 9.5"...
If you want to keep modifications minimal and if you don't want to run a reverse stagger I'd recommend trying 0.125" total rear toe out (and then go up to 0.25" if that's not enough), and I'd also recommend trying at least 10-15psi more in the back. Obviously some combination of my suggestions...

Thanks man! We had a big field - 17 cars in street, so that was a great result.
Talking with Aaron he actually has a bit more done than anyone else in the class in a Type R as a package at least in terms of top cars. He's running an e85 blend at ~400whp (like me, but unlike Eddy - Eddy's...
Well, I got a podium!
I got back home early this morning so I was lazy on the update but there wasn't much time available it seemed yesterday morning - I managed to shave 0.05s but just couldn't get the crispness in enough corners to catch Aaron for the record:
As usual for podium sprints...
I've tried a bunch of options but for this I ran a suction mount with a few arm extensions off the passenger rear window and put a zip tie around the headrest for additional support - I'll need to get a picture as it will make more sense. I still don't love it.
The @JST Performance e40 tune via @COBB Tuning was putting in work today at Gridlife at Autobahn CC! Brian and I remain on top of each other time-wise (he's at 1:32.3 - I'm at 1:32.5)- I have slightly more grip, he has slightly more power, but we are doing what we can! I need to get down to...
BUMP. What's everyone been doing?!
I decided to grab a ticket to Gridlife ABCC - it's a new track for me, but it's pretty fun, albeit a little tricky to get right. @JST Performance (who just finished up a custom e40 tune for me via Cobb) is here as well with me and we are running pretty close...
FWIW, when I tried that I felt like it shook too much for my tastes - it doesn't look too bad from you video but there are definitely some shaky sections.
FWIW, I've never had a tech person in any track/racing situation question a suction mount on the car (at least with the push-button style GoPro and others use). Normally I drop a camera down from the sunroof to be eye-level which gives a great perspective, but obviously that's not an option on...
@sgreer78 is correct regarding the ~-2.5° achievable with the plates. I'm actually the original owner of these, and I think with the pins pulled you'll get around -1.8°, so these will get you a bit more. The plates themselves can go more negative, however the lower spring perch on the stock...
