Turns out I am very bad at donuts/drifting(this is my first attempt). I've owned this car 6 years and have never tried it before last weekend. We were camped out on a skid pad at Inde Motorsports Ranch, I had worn my tires down to the cords so...
2LowPony replied to the thread Xineering Rev Match Module settings.I didn't play with the settings too much, but when i did try have it on just to see how it functioned it was a bit aggressive. But it was on the street coming to a stop so I don't think it was a good baseline for me to try it on (see full post)-
2LowPony replied to the thread Xineering Rev Match Module settings.I mounted the switch on mine where the cabin air temp sensor goes. I just haven't played with the settings too much. I haven't had much time to dial it in like I want yet, hoping to do that before the HPDE event I have next month (see full post)

bnight reacted to stevbd's post in the thread Advice on setting up my car for gain confidence with Like.@Akel I responded on your build thread, but those rear brake pad pictures you posted suggest a problem with one of your rear calipers. Which of course would cause all sorts of instability.
flyhalf replied to the thread Sick of stock 10R80 transmissions! Best replacement for much better longevity? Thank you..Ok so main issue was a clutch. Ok. Here's what I would do. Stage 2 suncoast 10r80 kit. Increase number of clutches and upgrade them too. I would change the body valve to a -D part number. The -D is the latest ford valvebody. Also. I would add...

this happened to me in 2022. Crashed hard. Felt like I tripped and face planted while at a full on sprint speed. Cant imagine how folks in these environments survive - whether it be the athlete themselves or the crew.The big part folks don't...- TeeLew reacted to Dave_W's post in the thread Advice on setting up my car for gain confidence with Like.Remember, though, the adjusters are working on the valving that's built into the shocks with the shim stack. Typically, that 2:1 - 3:1 damping ratio is built into the baseline valving and you use the adjusters to tweak from there. That's...

Duane Black replied to the thread Track Time Videos.Looks like the outside is the place to be? Or was it just slwoer traffic holding up the inside?I got a new camera angle for the Muscrat. I built a mount with some PVC pipe and using a GoPro a SpecMiater guy passed off to me.Comparing to a... (see full post)-
I'll add one to the oval videos Here's some Legends in car, good racing inside and outside passing and getting passed. A couple choose cone restarts. There is some vibration blur but it adds to the "being in the car" effect.

- Akel reacted to TeeLew's post in the thread Advice on setting up my car for gain confidence with Like.Not agruing here...discussing. I'm curious how you run your dampers.You say, "...you want the compression to be as soft as possible." While I will agree that is 'a' way to run the damping, it's not the only way. I guess I would add to your...
- Akel reacted to TeeLew's post in the thread Advice on setting up my car for gain confidence with Like.No, I dont' think it was that particular thing. You have to figure something like that out even for the street. It was more about which coil-overs to buy and those fun little bunny-holes.
So we're going down this rabbit hole? Tire width really messes with a lot of other things and IMO generally falls under the file of demon tweeks to try and make something work that really doesn't want to work, or more likely a rule work around...-
The 3R's are everything I heard about. Big jump for me having only ever ran the PS4's in the past. Yes, they do not grip well in the cold and wet, but they are manageable as long as water is not running across the track or puddling. First two...
