Street Build ITFLYS - 1Gina2G

Cut the curb a little too much, heard it hit something under the car, There’s probably a new scrape here somewhere.

John keeps switching cars. This one is a KTM X-bow GT4 track weapon.

The secret to accessing high end member race tracks is knowing where your member friend buried most of the bodies!!

Oh hell yeah

Best result I could manage. Lots of time left to gain. This track... This track is f***ING hard for a beginner. The blind corners are no joak. Its good to learn in a "slow" mechanical grip street car. I made rookie errors at turn 11, and lots of wrong lines that pointed me at the worker stand at turn 6. The downforce cars run MUCH faster - and the errors get exponentially worse at speed.

Got some new scorched powder coating to investigate

Aaand a new noise to track down- some bearing is unhappy:

Those two turns on the far right side of the map look like a free trip into the wall/sandtrap/grass for a lotta drivers, if those are "blind" corners

Reminds me of road trips with our girls when they were young.

I'll get some in-car video posted. The hairpins look intimidating on the map, but in the car are easy to see - fast approach yes, but you can react in plenty of time to slow down.

I was feeling punchy… nursery rhymes for track days

Until they don't...


The line is supposed to go more like this - but I need to look in my mirrors more... I kind of got in the way on the racing line when John found me on the track in the GT4 X-Bow.

we've all been there. Part of learning the limits and having fun. So long as you don't break anything or anyone, it's all good.

It is. I got mad at myself. I knew the trouble spots going in, I was shown where to go, I knew the grip gets touchy cresting the hill, I was looking the wrong direction, missed turn - by a lot. Popped out a corner light, lost a fender lining nut, got the car dusty - that was the worst of it. John built me a hell of a setup with the OHLINS - and the Toyo RA1's are excellent. The brakes work really well with the improved grip, I'm not locking the rears as I was. I suggested changing the setup to be more snappy, but leaving the track facing forward has its advantages.

Today was a good day - I managed to work through CAN configuration, Wiring, and mapping.

 

[Justin DuBois]

That noisy Alternator is out, and I’m amazed it made it home

 

[Justin DuBois]

Ouch,

birm kisses bumper, bumper cover bolt punches oil cooler , oil cooler held up

CAN terminator installed in Cat5 cable

Also replaced a failed stock o2 sensor, and fired it over. No more alternator issues, and the o2 was cycling normally again.

Keep watching that oil cooler and the fittings.

 

[Justin DuBois]

Lets get those sensors installed

And now some real numbers that need to be converted

 

[Justin DuBois]

All buttoned up - install complete. Alternator is working quietly again, spare stock 02 is working - and I remembered to turn off Narrow Band sim.

That's a nice, clean set up youve got going

Really awesome to see such a good community that would contribute a similar mindset to each others hobbies and passions!

I see Motor Trend TV is showing the whole 24 hours of Le Mans. About 7 hours into the race right now. I've only seen a little bit of it so far, but I think the guys they have covering it are doing a pretty decent job.

Thank you for the compliment!
It takes a special kind of stupid to try and keep a track day car in show condition. Special.
