This channel is dedicated to building, racing, and drifting cars. In most cases, they'll be Corvettes, but will generally be automotive related. There may be some shenanigans beyond cars, but we're starting with a C5 Corvette build series. We'll be starting from a shell of a C5 and building and replacing almost every part of the car. We have a 2 month deadline to get this car ready to race.
Hello, do you know if the Uneekor always has the instant ball response after you hit it ? I see other launch monitors that have a delay. Do you know if the gaming pc has anything to do with it or just the launch monitor itself? Thank you
@KyleW0806 I'm not sure, but I do like the lack of delay. From other videos it sounds like it's the launch monitor itself that determines how quickly you see the hit.
So I have the old style carls place screen and am looking to upgrade to the c series. The biggest reason is the bottom section going all the way to the floor. How does the c series deal with low burner shots? I have higher handicaps over and my lower section is always needing re velcroed down and the foam padding behind it looks like a shotgun hit it lol.
I would personally look elsewhere. I haven't been overly impressed with the c series setup. In fact, quite the opposite. Also, there are many people who agree with me in the Facebook groups.
@@jtswenson05 what do you think I should look at? The other option I was considering was a bullseye enclosure but am definitely open to options. I’ve been pretty happy with my carls place but I need to change sizes for my new room and need a 12x9 now. I had the 13x7 1/2
@joesti7607 that's funny, my whole sim is for sale and mine is a 12x9 but I just got done telling you I wouldn't recommend it, haha. I'm not sure what other options might be better, unfortunately. Sorry I'm not more help.
Can u share the camera link and light you use? I just upgraded from a skytrak to the Eye mini lite, but their cameras are CRAZY expensive. Have been looking for a less expensive workaround but yours look great!
www.spinelelectronics.com/product/sc30mpa-bundle-test/ It's basically those cameras, though I can't say I would necessarily recommend them if you're really trying to see club impact etc. The light is just a "high bay" light from Menards. It is incredibly bright and not exactly necessary, but if you increase the frame rate a bunch then it gets darker so the light helps if you're really just trying to work on your swing. Good luck
Hey Jeremy back with more questions 😀. I've been trying figure out camber on the front and rear of c7z. It's 1100 rear spring and 1000 front. Right now -3.7° front and -2.1° rear. On a7 hoosiers. Do you have a recommendation on camber on time attack car? I just don't know on the hoosiers if they love camber 335 30 18 front and 345 35 18 rear.
@ClaytonYatescarenthusiast you're running 1100 and 1000 lb springs? Imo that's way too much, even for Hoosiers. Those camber numbers sound good though. You'll want to check tire temps inside, middle, and outside to confirm.
Okay awesome thanks. Yeah I've been considering lowering spring rate to 900 rear 800 front but I'd have to run bumpstops cause areo is so big now. Large duel element and big front splitter. Car weight is 3650 in race trim with driver. What would you recommend spring wise? BTW thank you for the help. It's all trial and error and nobody has experience besides maybe gspeed and a few others at this level. So any direction saves a lot of very experience testing time.
How far is the ball from the screen. I’m having insane amount of bounce back and also cant get the bottom of screen to be flush to the ground while keeping screen flat. Its either one or the other lol same set up here
Jeremy I need some more advice 😄! My car has fallen off pace more and more. I'm wondering if i have way too high of spring rates. Trying to get it dialed for nasa finals and only have a few events to do before im out of setup time. So c7z 3650 lbs in race trim with driver. Mid sized dual element rear wing, pretty large and good design front splitter with diffusers but homemade so not the level of df as something like a carbon custom time attack splitter, unknown aero load but probably higher than average downforce. Running hoosier r7 and a7 tires depending on level of competition. Hopefully that's enough information for you to recommend a starting spring rate for coilovers. Or what would you start at? I know in one of your videos you said you like a softer car. I personally do too but dont want to go too far one way or another. Damping is set for higher rate but i can get revalved no problem. Thank you!
Hi Clayton. I'm not certain if motion ratios are the same on the c7s nor am I familiar with the weight distribution. I'm guessing the supercharger etc leans that car close to 55% front weight. That said, I'd probably be in the 700 front and 600 rear range for that much weight and aero on Hoosiers. There are so many other factors to consider and it's hard to say if your spring rates are an issue. What deficiencies have you noticed in handling?
I just got the stuff to put one at my house and my dad's house. After a lot of research, I went with the R10, A few Pro golf mats, and an impact screen. I got 1 with a laser projector and one with a $300 projector. For about $1,300 you could have a great setup assuming you have some things to make a frame, gutter foam, etc. you will still need a decent computer or projector you can connect your iPad or phone to.
That's a pretty good idea. I'm honestly trying to keep this car nice for at least the first year. Going to pick my battles and hope I can keep it nice, haha.
Hi how to have several different views (2 or 3)?? GSPRO on the back screen (ball strike) the image of the protea or something on the screen in front of you Thank you for your answer
Fred, you'll just need a computer and graphics card capable of displaying multiple screens. Then run a source to each of them and set it up in your software.
Thanks for posting this Jeremy. It is very helpful. You mentioned you would have gone with the premium screen if you did it again. Why is that and would you go with Carl's again? Thank you!
I did get the premium screen, I'm just not convinced I'd do carls again. Mine and pretty much every other carls screen I've seen is pretty floppy and wrinkled. Plus, the bottom portion keeps lifting off the ground despite my best efforts to correct it.
That is the View software that comes with any Uneekor launch monitor. It works great, although their club data has been absolutely horrendous after the most recent software update. For the price, I'd still recommend the Eye Mini, but it's not without issues.
Nice design! Can you please post a link to the monitor and keyboard stand where you mounted the 55 inch TV? All of the stands I see on Amazon and other sites have a max monitor size of 32 inches.
Haha, this one was on Amazon and is definitely not designed for a 55. I customized the mount for it and would not recommend it if you're planning to move it around at all. Not the sturdiest thing in the world.
I have a similar setup, and going to get the same projector (8 feet away, hitting area 10.5’ away). I move my mats in and out to get the car inside. But how do you keep the mat from moving around? I tried Velcro, but can’t get the Velcro to stick on the floor. Also, do you have any issues with shanks going through the Velcro in the corner? My enclosure (not from Carl’s) has a ton of issues. The corner panel doesn’t fit well.
I thought my C5 was torn apart getting upgrades but nothing compared to yours when you filmed this. I have a new LS3 block and planning out an order of a Dailey dry sump setup so this video was helpful to see some fitment things. I need to look more into that ABS setup. Ice mode keeps getting me on some course setups. Ill be checking more of your content. Cool to see your kid helping out.
Thanks! I should have done a better job documenting specific jobs and editing them properly, but time was of the essence prepping the car. That car just won its 2nd championship and was just sold.
Haha. I can leave her car in whole hitting but I usually pull it out. She made me promise that her car is not sitting outside overnight before we got the sim.
Great setup. Made me feel right at home with those par 3 shots at the end. I, like you, had the goal of breaking 80 this year and despite a bunch of lessons and practicing a ton, the best score I could muster was an 82. Hopefully next year! Keep up the great work!
You're in the same boat as many before you. I'm working on becoming a dealer for each. Overall I'm quite happy with the eye mini although it does have a total misread about once a round. Typically with the driver. It sounds like the BLP has its own set of issues. For the money, I think they're both great options.
That was the one. I thought it was broken because it was blurry imo. I messed with every setting and couldn't get it to look decent. The clarity is vastly better with this unit, though the color is still lacking. Overall I'm happy with this one for the money. Also super short throw was great for my setup.
Nice set up mate couple questions is the camera where you can go slow Mo part of the GSpro Software or is that from your simulator? Also, I was wondering, can you putt with the mat you have in front of your screen?
The camera system works through the view software that comes with any Uneekor launch monitor. The software is great and is one of the reasons I bought the uneekor. Putting with the uneekor through gspro is about as good as it gets on a simulator as well, though my mat by the screen is just a catch mat and is pretty plush to get balls to stop.
Thank you! Yeah, I'm still trying to decide if a didn't hitting strip would be better than this carls one. Ez Tee is on my short list. Have you tried others?
I ended up going away from the divot strip to the standard carls place one and it's much better. 2 of the divot strip units plastic backing broke within a couple weeks.
I bought it through Launch House Simulators. Sorry I don't have a link. You can contact them for that and other simulator items. I got my screen, mat, and launch monitor from them as well
Nice video. I am working on my setup as and I wanted to find out how you’re running the sim on the impact screen while showing the club data on the Samsung at the same time? Also, I’ve got a Carls C screen too and it comes down to playing with the zip ties to get it how you like it.
My computer has several hdmi outputs. I just set it up for 2 displays and adjusted resolution etc accordingly. My screen has gotten worse with use and is lifting more in the center now. I guess I'll play around with the zip ties. Thank you
