1)
using 285/30WR-18 Kumho Ecsta V700, they are great for wear and provide decent grip, and they are the cheapest track tire in my size so that is why i use em :-)

dont want to wear em out on teh street but i have to drive my car to the tracks, so the kumos lasted 5 hours trip to ra (10 total), full weekend of track (many track miles), then 6 hours trip to MAM (12 hours total), 3 full days (silly amount of track miles) and had another event left but got flatspotted so i had to get new ones :-) so for my case where i have to drive to the tracks on em, they are perfect. once i get a minittriler thing and can haul extras, ill drive to the track on em, switch to stickier tires, and when they cord, put the kumos back on and run more :-)



2) yeah, i looked at the rear defuser, ill get one eventually :-) looks great on that car

 

RotorMotor, the swivel that you see in Damian's cup mount test video is just him opening and closing. I'm pretty sure he stuck the camera mount to the door

 

oops, sorry for the kind of dp

 

;-)

 

Thanks for answering the questions, now I can't wait for you to give a response on the rear diffuser if you eventually get the product.

 

yeah, its probably somthing I will do the same time I do the cf/lexan rear hatch, and possibly new hood

might take me until winter to save the $$ for all that though :-)

 

have you had any problems with the camera mount denting the body of the car? thanks

 

no, they way i mount now is with 3 cups, triangulating as best I can so that that I eliminate vibration for all 3 axis (x,y,z)...however due to mounting locations its not always possible

the cups are soft rubber and can hold much more than what the camera weighs, and the surface area of just one cup is realativly large, so there is a lot of car body surface to distribute the camera weight, now add another 2 cups and you have even more surface area to hold the cam.

the air drag on a small camera (has with little surface area) is not enough even at 160mph to do any permanent deformation on the car body in the locations I have mounted.

 

dude i just saw some of you videos they are sick whats done to you cars?

 

thanks for the compliment on teh videos

well, for the blue i would go look at the 3rd gen advanced tech forum and look for posts from me, that will give you an idea on what I have done to the car:

Hey thanks for the awesome entertainment!!!

Few comments---really appreciate the sound of the engine. Much prefer that over music.. Just love the sound of the rotary!!!
Amazing what these little engines can do with a little help.
Good thing those tire marks headed off the track in the one place were not yours..wonder what the outcome would be doing over a 100.
Didn't appear as if the downshifts (in terms of speed variation) necessarily warranted it but do you heel-toe much?
Thanks again. Keep them coming...

 

>>Didn't appear as if the downshifts (in terms of speed variation) necessarily warranted it but do you heel-toe much?

yep, i heel-toe every shift, but BIR there is not much shifting, maybe only a few times.

 

damn...badass car!

keep up the good work.

 

thanks :-)
