Just curious, does your HKS BOV in recirc mode still make the whistling sound? I'm looking to do the same setup my HKS.

Yeah, I have the recirc kit. Still makes a loud sound.

It is the Broadway mirror but you have to install it upside down.

Thanks. Yeah, they have worked out great so far.

Awsome video man. You can blast straight through turn 6-7(the up hill shakane) at WOT if you get it right. That should shave a second or two off right there. Very fun track, But I find it to demanding on my car for the amount of fun. Thats why I moved over to streets, I love the more technical transitions and using weight transfer to you're benifit

05cgm · 07-01-2008, 09:10 PM

Thanks. Fixed the video. I definitely agree with you though. I think Gary Sheehan said it best when he said "The reward is not worth the risk on this track." You really have to commit to lay down a solid laptime and by commit I mean drive completely on the edge. It is such a fast track, I never use 3rd gear. 4th-6th only.

I alwase hold off at big willow. That track is the only one that scares the crap out of me. Just that one section I like to goe balls out. Turn 9 makes me quiver in my sleep, hahahah. Streets you can throw the car around more, hense why I go more often. Car looks great man!

kitganzon · 07-01-2008, 10:21 PM

Love your setup! Hopefully my car could some track time soon. BTW How do you like your cusco swaybars? Did you upgrade your spring rate because the bars were too small? Im just curious because im trying to setup my suspension for the track.

**tyler_sti** · 07-01-2008, 10:24 PM

I like my 27-29 bar for the track, even with harsh spring rates. All depends on how you're driving style. I still can't belive those pics, was that a "caliphoto" pic? That guy who does them get's some really good shots, I have a blown up one in my room.

Car looks great! Good to see a vid of the beast as well.
Any chance for a ride along at Subiefest

?

scby rex · 07-02-2008, 05:31 PM

what wing are you using and do you notice it in stability and lap times? Are the stands custom?

I know exactly what you mean, Turn 8/9 has major "pucker" factor!

I decided to up the spring rates to help compensate for that. So far so good but you definitely cannot go wrong with the big Whiteline bars. The car did feel more planted in the corners.

Two of my buddies who were there took these. One has a Nikon d40X and the other has a bunch of crazy photo stuff. I think they both did a great job.

Thanks. No I would not mind but Willow Springs was not allowing passengers PERIOD this weekend due to that nasty crash of the Mini Cooper.

Might be the same situation when Sept. rolls around.

It is the Cusco carbon 3D GT wing with their mounts. It is noticeable at high speeds. I have yet to have all 3 pieces together though (wing, Cusco front lip and Cusco undertray). Lip and wing are goo but the undertray needs some straitening before I can put it back on. Thanks all.

far.

I think I want to reinstall my HKS BOV with a recirc kit. I had a bad experience with the HKS BOV set to full atmosphere. Is there any negative affects with the full recirc kit and does it perform like stock, except with a louder whistle?
