My Time Attack/ Lap Battle STI - Page 2

I'd say the best mod to make you go faster would be to trade up your tails for my '06s. I mean right there you'll gain that extra .5 without questions.

The car is looking great. I really have nothing other than that to contribute. Nicely done!

Rear diffuser to go along with the GT wing. Other than that, seat time, seat time, seat time! What are the specs on your suspension BTW?

Hello, thank you all for your input. Today was the day of the competition and I came in 3rd just .6 of a second behind the winner. It was a very closed battle. Here's the lap times. It was very fun.

My suspension set up are:

RCE T2 with 13K front and 12K rear with Cusco camber plates, Cobb sways, WL ALK, WL roll center correction kit, Cusco rear strut brace and LOTS of playing with camber, tire pressure and alignments.

I think I got my car dialed in. The car feels good pushing it to the limit with a tad bit of understeer that can be corrected with the right foot.

I'm starting to really like this car a lot.

Well, I will be doing few Time Attack events when I move back to the East at VIR, and other East coast tracks. Maybe I'll see some of you at the track. Just remember my car and come by to say hi.

Nice car, great effort, thanks much for sharing.

Can you use an X-Brace? Lots of claims of improved lap times associated with those.

I don't need the X brace, I have a semi-custom 8 point cage Kirk Racing cage being install by the middle of this month with few additional bars being put in.

I think that will be even more stiffer than the x brace can do in its best days

Followed the link, yikes, you're right. That thing is a beast!

paranoid56 · 05-04-2008, 08:28 PM

SgtKarj · 05-04-2008, 09:49 PM

Sick looking car!!! Subscribed. Keep up the nice work!

mug23 · 05-04-2008, 11:19 PM

yes, the fenders are rolled and pulled. Otherwise, there's no way to stuff those 275/35/18's in there.
