Really nice sounding car, please for your own safety working on your steering and hand placement you are shuffling so much as also jerking the wheel, 9 and 3 hand placement as long as you can, you will eventually slip or get hands tangled up and not be able to react fast enough and go off road especially on roads like this with literally no shoulder.
As a bugeye owner since 2005... ur car is too low to do anything at any limit. Raise it and your understeer will be mitigated. Especially the push mid corner. Larger rear sway bar will also help a lot.
It's crazy how people think "OH, I MUST PUT STIFFER SUSPENSION AND LOWER IT VUZ PERFURMENT!" When in actuality, it hinders it so much. Cars come out the factory already quite sporty in their handling, even comfort models. I mean, honestly, even little cars like Citroen C1s and Hyundai I10s handle real well for what they are. These companies know what they're doing.
@@callumpearce9242 I don't entirely agree with that on a lot of cars there's a gap you can fit your whole hand into and a lot of factory suspension systems are designed to be squishy so not sporty
@1mawesomel1kethat I know, but I was exaggerating a bit got a little emotional from seeing people just destroy decently sporty cars, like mk3 and mk4 golfs, E36s, Subarus, etc. What I mean to say, or convey, is to get a proper sporty suspension, you probably gotta get it tested, balanced, etc from a professional tuner to actually improve performance and handling.
@@callumpearce9242 if you're going racing sure but for street use a standard setting works fine. I got BC racing coilovers on my Subaru Outback wagon so I got a little bit of knowledge 🤏 my wagon is also on my channel if you want to check it out
pretty nice driving, you seem to know your limits quite well. you said you had a bit of understeer, and yes some of it can be combated by trailbraking more but also in some corners like at 12:59 you jerked the wheel and did multiple adjustments mid corner. moving the wheel too quickly can induce both oversteer (4:11) and understeer (4:40) depending on the situation like it did in different parts of this run. try turning in to corners and commit to a trajectory, minimise steering imput (unless its necessary). you will find that you will have a more compliant car and might even get a bit less understeer and oversteer as a consiquence (also trailbraking will be easier when the cars limits are more predictable).
even though i dont like to criticize driving because every car is different, you are right sir. You know how they say, slow is smooth and smooth is fast!
That was nice, but watch out for your hand on the steering wheel. Its completely wrong. If you need to correct the car for any sort of reason, you gonna end up crashing due that. It will also improve your confidence and driving skills as a side effect, so, look into it.
very nice! one of my favorite things to do. this road looks familiar! i think theres a viral video of a young guy driving an M3 and crashing it on these roads
hey man, fellow AZ bugeye owner, was wondering how you wired up that STI dash to show outside temp gauges in ur car its a weird mod that im looking to do thanks!
@@scooby_rexyou should definitely change your steering style to hand over hand, your really going to cause an accident with the shuffle hand steering. It'll also helps you feel more in control of your vehicle
@@1mawesomel1kethat yeah I don’t plan on going back until I change it to a 320mm. My elbows hit my side bolsters when I do deeper turns. 350mm not good enough for me 🤷
This is an awesome video, love the car too. I was wondering if you could do a more in-depth video on your wrx. Also what did you do to make it crackle so much? Is it a tuning thing like running more rich? I have an 03 Blobeye with aftermarket uel headers, catless downpipe and just a small muffler on the back. 3" all the way back. Got a fmic too that's blanked with no bov.
Nice video man! Like some others have said I think you should really work on hand placement while steering. shuffling your hands around like that stressed me out, there's really no room for error on some of those corners.
why i clicked the video: saw the miniature days ago i had to check when it came back Why and when i left: 0:45 i already saw the video goddamit it was great
Nice vid brotha I got a bugeye like yours lowered on bcs with front and rear sway bar + nvidia catback exhaust that’s it though. I was wondering how’s your steering? I got the stock steering wheel on mine and it’s really loose, you have to turn it a lil bit for it to actually start turning. was wondering if you had these problems and what you did to fix it
Nice setup I’m looking for swaybars too front and back. Steering has always been the weakness in my car too the steering ratio just sucks. Even with my 350mm momo steering wheel I feel like I should’ve stayed with my stock momo it’s easier to turn. Best solution I’ve seen is to swap the steering rack with a 15 STI rack, you gotta fabricate to fit a little, either that or find a Quick rack. One thing I also noticed is with smaller tires it’s easier to turn, AND find lightweight rims.
Love the vid, but you should learn to stop shuffling your hands in the tighter turns. Every time you remove your hand from the 9-3 position you lose your reference point to the car. Try and stay on 9-3 then hand-over-hand if you can't turn any farther, it's hard to get used to but will drastically improve your driving.
Hand positioning is absolutely atrocious and way too much shuffling. You might feel better with a 365MM or a 350MM on a GD. If you were the homie and I was the passenger, I'd get out of the car.
