Had a GREAT time at Buttonwillow with illwillem, phryxis, and Moderu this wknd. I only got a mere fractions of a second improvement over my last PB but the car definitely feels more stable. My problem now is committing and keeping that gas pedal down and trusting the car. I'm lifting off in major sections. I spent most of the day practicing Cotton Corner and I think I gained some time there from last time. I feel like i'm lifting a lot thru Bus Stop because that turn scares me. I'm also lifting thru Riverside and braking too hard for Lost Hill. I think I'm getting better in the Sweeper but still braking too hard for Sunset and not rev matching well there. It's a tough corner for me. I'm much more confident out of the U-turn and totally know what everyone is saying about how a OSG LSD can improve time there. My inner rear tire spins like crazy coming out of that turn - but it's one of my funnest exits. PB 2:09.xxHere's a short video of Will playing lead-follow for me. Thanks Will! and thanks Colin for the vid and pic!http://distilleryvesper7-19.ak.instagram.com/2547e7008b9011e3b0391231e80ea787_101.mp4This is also a nice view of the DF wider fenders.I'm running 11k/11k spring rates now and it's just too stiff for the street for me. The dampers are handling them fine but i'm not sure I want to sacrifice the cush street ride for the incremental track stability. I'm going to try 9k/9k and see how that goes...- - - Updated - - -BTW.. no cooling issues with the radiator even with the stock non-vented hood. However, it was maybe only high 60s ambient out there. My IATs were too cold. It dipped into 36C and my car was very rich. I think I need to step up to an F-Con Vpro.
