Was first session out; wasn't pushing brake zones.

jmd · 06-22-2013, 08:27 AM

looks like fun.

No gloves or anything, this guy is hardcore.

What's up with the faggot tag?

Automatics can be very dangerous if you don't manually shift them on track. If you are in drive and it randomly kicks down a gear mid corner you WILL spin.

so you did all that brake work and took it easy braking?

1:32ish lap time?

I had a brake line bust last week so I just didn't have the balls to go into T1 at ~140mph and brake at the 3 like I could have. They never faded vs stockers that faded after 3 laps.

Something like that.

Miker · 06-22-2013, 11:21 AM

Who ever if hiding behind tags why don't you post like a man?

I was going to eye everything after the first session then go out and push it. But I never made it to the 2nd session due to mechanical issues.

internet is full of trash talking tough guys who hide behind tags.

BIRDMAN · 06-22-2013, 01:49 PM

For what it's worth, they aren't my tags.

But I too was confused as to why after all those glorious brake upgrades that you would "take it easy on the brakes" of all things. But I saw your explanation.

What mechanical issues did you have?

Transmission got unhappy, and I broke a tire.

Looks like alot of fun. If I had just dont all that brake work I would have made a shake down pass too. Whoever made the tags is probably jealous.

ForceFed4g63 · 06-22-2013, 02:53 PM

Some serious hate up in here.

An auto being manually shifted at high temps wasn't happy? No wai

I see way lower temps when I manual shift vs let the transmission search around.

GearMesh came out to take a look at it. I managed to do something special to my trans because he hasn't seen anything like it before.

No automatic likes being manually shifted that hard that much. Might be time to go w/ a 6-speed..........
