Sorry, originally posted in the wrong section

Yesterday we went out the Buttonwillow for the Redline Time Attack practice day. Both me and Gabe (05 6mt sedan) tracked our cars, and had a great time. It was Gabe's first track event, and by the end of the day he was flying around the track. This was the first event where I got to use my new track wheels, track tires (Nitto NT05), Nismo LSD, and Zeal's. Everything worked great once we got the tires at the right pressure and the coil dampening set right. The tires grip like crazy once they heat up, and even when they start to slide they are very predictable and easily controlled. I love em! Also got a chance to test out our differential cooler with a very aggressive Nismo LSD. We were running 20 minute sessions in about 80 degree heat, and never had a problem with the diff or fluid boiling over. Seems like the cooler works pretty well

Thanks again to Darren and Dave for coming out with the support vehicle! I know Darren has a bunch of pics of Gabe's car as well, so hopefully he posts em up.

Sick!


Zack, whose photos are those in your post?

 

Thanks man! They had a track photographer that you could buy the photos from at the end of the day.

 

awesome pics guys!

 

Thanks man! You're still letting me take out your car next time right

 

Nice shots Zack. Looks like a lot of fun. We have some autocrosses us here on sundays Bunch of my friends do that. I wanna do a track day though. Moar speed.

 

Thanks man! Autocross is a good time too... definitely the best way to get started and learn your car. I do enjoy the big tracks more, but I'm happy to autocross whenever I can

 

Looks like a blast!


Any plans to market that diff cooler? I am looking into one right now.

 

Yeah, we've been talking about it for awhile now... just been too busy with the other projects. We'll be doing a little more testing at future track events, as I'm sure the weather will only be getting hotter.

You can see it in the lower right... although it's going to be more centered to fit with dual exhaust setups. It's controlled with an external pump, and can be set to turn on by thermostat, or by switch. I just use the switch since I only use it on track.

 

Sweet!

 

Yeah I have seen the setup many times. I need to put together something in the near future. Do you have an idea if you are going to make them (and if so, when)?

Thanks!!

 

We'll be making them for sure... no estimate on when though.

 

You guys looked like you all had some fun... I wish i could have gone!

 

sweeeeeet!
