I know I'd crank mine up around that number before I put my car on the track.

"On Honda S2K that I used to track. Has more than 80k on the motor plus V-tec high revving and I hit the Rev limit all day long , grind the tranny , missed shifting etc. beated it all day. not a problem. Just a bad luck or what ?"

what does "plus vtec" mean>??? a vinyl on the side of the door with a VTEC vinyl on the engine. Anyways, who tracks and cant shift worth a crap. He sounds like a teenager wanting to show off. I want to see him drive normal streets, I think he would mess up a LOT. I mean, yea, tracking is pretty stressful, but a lot of videos I see, I haven't seen that many issues.

Either way.. Cool stroy bro.

Who did your alignment?
I'll take any advantage I can find!

I think it's a pretty solid number for the track and fine on the street if you don't drive a lot.
We'll see how it goes. I was running -1.7 in the rear without any significant wear issues. the -3.0 in the front will be more of an issue. With these Vorschlag camber plates, I can always dial back to -2.5 or -2.0 if it's too much.

On the plus side it appears I now have more room to fit rubber in there. 285's anyone? :P

LMAO. VTEC is a valid technology, but it isn't a "plus" since all S2ks have it. It does help a little, but it ain't like it is FI or something, and ultimately what it really means is: you need to keep the revs up to remain on the better cam lobes. I've owned 3 DOHC VTECs.

I know, I got that And I agree with how it comes across from that person. Sounds like someone who talks out their *** a lot but doesn't actually know anything.

-3/-2 is pretty good camber for most subaru's on t-hill depending on the tires.

Hopefully next month when i fix my cooling issues i should be able to hit 2:03- 2:05's.


I do want some 275 hoosier r6!

It was not a big explosion, and to the driver it was probably feel like a loss of power, and naturally you would coast? Instead of stopping immediately, I think he did it right to coast to the side in a safe spot.

The flaggers would have been starting to flag too!

That's why I asked. Was just curious.

And yes I would coast. Stomping on your brakes is the last thing you want to do. But I think I would have coasted to the right of that first straight away. Not saying that's correct because I have no idea. That's why I posed the question. What's the right thing to do?

I know that splashing things all over the track is a big no no and with the motor back there and the motor wide open you could punch a hole in the side of that motor and not know it any differently than doing what it did.

No you are right, but I don't think coasting right immediately at that spot was a good place to stop so maybe he made a good choice.

He was coasting on the driving line wich is the worst thing to do in that situation. He even apexed 10 when he should have stayed to the outside through the corner incase he was leaking oil. If something goes so wrong with the car that you have to put it in nuetral to move (because the engine was locked) then assume you're dumping oil and get the hell off the driving line and off the track as soon as it's safe to. If he was loosing oil and he dumped it on the brake zone before turn 10, there could easily be a collection of cars in the dirt because of his ignorance and stupidities.

There's room to the right of turn nine to park the car. All he had to do was put his hand out the window to warn drivers behind him and pull off the track. He could of also parked it between 9 and 10 on the left side of the track halfway down the small straight. The corner worker at turn 9 would throw a local caution and possibly a debris flag to warn other drivers. The corner workers at T-hill are some of the best there is.

Don't know why he wasn't in fourth gear through 7,8 and 9. Probably would have been quicker, but then again he wasn't using the whole track through 8 so I'll vote he didn't know wtf he was doing. Not to mention he wasn't even using the curb at 7 and couldn't hold a smooth line in traffic, you could also see him jumping on the gas durring corner exits instead of rolling on the throttle. He was just beating on the car and it bit him on the ***.
