Such an amazing car and an impressive drive! Still felt like the tires had too much air though. Still terrific

@TheTopher 10 месяцев назад

Agreed, probably could’ve gone a bit lower. Those re-paved sections are slippery, too!

@@TheTopher Hello there sir, may I ask if you had any overheating issues your FL5? If you did before, have you done any mods to it:?

@JayL44 10 месяцев назад

That was a great track day! Felt beyond lucky to have only a handful of us out there hitting the track whenever we wanted to. Big shout out to OOOG for sure. Nice driving.

@SJ-xy3pi 10 месяцев назад

@EvanMcC240 10 месяцев назад

Great job driving well and talking through it so well. I feel like we prioritize very similar things in cars. I’ve had my FL5 on track a couple times so far, not at this pace unfortunately, and it was quite fun!

@JamieToddBand 10 месяцев назад

Great memories from my Gratton days in the 80's! Now my Type R sees the expressway ramps...

@shadowfax123456 10 месяцев назад

I was just at Grattan this past weekend for the motorcycle track days! Track was in excellent condition, but we were going counterclockwise. Made for a super interesting and technical track.

@Club-Version 10 месяцев назад

I went with 32 Front and 34 rear hot. I felt that gave me the most rotation without sacrificing high speed stability. I will be removing the alignment pin and adding negative camber. The car really needs it!

@Alex-dz6xw 6 месяцев назад

There is no need for negative camber mate. You have a public road car..not a racing one...negative camber for what? Track? How many times will you go on track? And you cant even get close to the cars limits without camber...so why you need one?

Hey Topher - How did you become such a good driver? Did you get a beater track car and get a lot of seat time? What’s your background?

@fifth11 10 месяцев назад

So glad to see you at Grattan Raceway! It was the first track day I went to on my old bike. Very fun elevation changes, tight corners, and a long straight make it my favorite. Though I was doing counter clockwise when I was there.

@onurdmetu 10 месяцев назад

Loved the way you were throwing it into that blind corner (11?), but it looks like the car just understeers everywhere. More front camber and a thicker RSB, or maybe some reverse stagger would make it much more fun I think.

Great driving! Silly question don't the Cup 2 have an outside? Are these mounted on the rims the right way? I may be mistaken

@roypeterka 4 месяца назад

Based on the video they are mounted the right way. The outside shoulder is much wider than the inside.

@TheTopher 10 месяцев назад

It came from the factory with about -1.5°, I did the strut tower pin mod and realigned at about -1.8°. Could get more out of it with camber bolts but wanted to start here.
