You're faster than a WRX because you don't need to pit for a vape every lap.

@@Bbeavis I don't want to stereotype about GTR owners. Their outlaw bikie mates might bash me.

@willsoteros9923 11 месяцев назад

Have you considered turning off the leveling or turning feature in the gopro settings? it would give for a little bit of a better viewing expierence IMO. Please never stop making these, i absolutely adore them and adore driving your car in sim while i build my personal mx5

@Bbeavis 11 месяцев назад

Firstly, thank you for the kind words, really a pleasure to hear you enjoy the videos. I will look into trying to change the go pro to fix it for next time. I don't know why GoPro make the camera angle turn the way it does, i find it very frustrating also - seems like a response to the g-forces.

@Pulsar_95 11 месяцев назад

Turn the image stabilisation to off.

@Bbeavis 11 месяцев назад

@@Pulsar_95 Thanks for the advice. One would've thought stabilisation would be a good feature to have on when the GoPro is mounted inside a car, I guess not?

@Pulsar_95 11 месяцев назад

@@Bbeavis yeah, it’s kinda counter intuitive but seems to work. My vids are all with stabilisation off

Thanks a lot!

@martytearesales7567 11 месяцев назад

Great vid mate, the day turned to complete garbage after this with the rain, although a few guys did enjoy some outstanding drifting in the wet, but God it was cold.

@Bbeavis 11 месяцев назад

Absolutely, have to try make the most of it.

@Assasain31 11 месяцев назад

Love this video! Glad I came across your channel. Wanted to know if you have a video in regards of your car as a whole, drivetrain, engine modifications, etc.

@Assasain31 11 месяцев назад

Also to add, curious on your IATs, CLT Temp, Oil PSI, Oil Temp, Brake Temp, would it be hard to implement that on a video, not sure if people like the extra details, but I sure would love to overlook the parameters throughout the hot laps

@Bbeavis 11 месяцев назад

Sure, here is a summary of the car setup: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-L5InnAygnoY.html

@Bbeavis 11 месяцев назад

Regarding data overlay, I'm not skilled enough (or lack the time),to set that up, though I suppose I could just throw a GoPro in front of the dash next time I am at the track.

@AngelGdo 11 месяцев назад

Nice driving! I sold my V8 Miata, and I am really regretting that decision after seeing your video :(

@Bbeavis 11 месяцев назад

Sorry to hear that, I hope you have something else exciting to keep your automotive juices flowing.

@Epiphonech 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for putting parts to a tough long-time test! Amazing how Kraken stuff is holding up. Do you have a video of a wet track session with throttle position or MAP infographics? I want to learn how to tame a short based turbo MX-5 because just running at lowest (0,6bar 9PSI) wg pressure, softer rear suspension and +1 higher gear didn't help corner exits much. 225 AR-1 Nankangs.

@RyanField 11 месяцев назад

For real wet, get a set of Continental ECS's or similar. I have likely quite a bit more power (~300whp) and can easily put power down on them in soaking wet conditions.

@Bbeavis 11 месяцев назад

Hey Dima, The kraken has been going great, but not without some challenges. After years of track work and heat cycles it did have a very small crack appear on the inside of the turbo inlet flange, and the heat cycles have slightly altered the shape of the engine flange side as last time I removed the manifold it was very tight against the exhaust studs, so it had shifted shape slightly and bound itself onto the engine. Once I got it off I re-drilled the exhaust stud holes on the kraken to be slightly larger to alleviate the issue. I don't have any advice for wet weather driving, these days with this car and its fairly slick-ish tyres, I tend to just try avoid rain.

@vladimirfox5750 11 месяцев назад

What is that yellow light I see flashing on your dash occasionally?

@Bbeavis 11 месяцев назад

Low coolant pressure warning.

@jdsfuelburn5221 11 месяцев назад

She's a little rocket. Your a good 8 seconds quicker than my old 350 it a real handful around winton. Just to suggest what you may know already. A left foot rest above the cluch pedal level will help shift speed. Also consider physically limiting the clutch pedal to waste less time pushing further than needed. Or change the pedal ratio so you only need to dab it. Sorry if this is stuff you already know. Faster foot will match great hand work, keep it up.

@Bbeavis 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for the thoughts JD. I did make some tweaks to the brake and throttle pedals to remove "dead zones". I like your idea on re-working the clutch pedal. But, do fear that shortening the clutch pedal travel would compromise the disengagement of the clutch itself, and thus impact the longevity of the transmission. I guess changing the ratio could achieve the same hydraulic travel for more effort and less movement of the pedal itself.
