    Front Sway Bar. Is it worth it?

    For minimal suspension mods, this run looked great! What tires were you running in this video, and is your motor stock or tuned? I found this for some comparative data (scroll down to the bottom for lap times of other cars on the same VIR full course): https://lapmeta.com/en/track/variation/130

    Stormy gets a long-awaited front sway bar upgrade... (detailed review & FSB database inside)

    Camber mounts arrived today in a package small enough for the Unibomber to exploit… 😏👌 💣 I now have no further excuses not to move forward with the install this week (of the FSB and camber mounts) Touch-up alignment after to reset the toe. 🏎

    Performance impact of lighter wheels?

    That IS and will be a dramatic delta (change). That's a solid 40% drop in rotating mass. Double down: make sure you pick out tires that aren't a drastic increase in weight. Bridgestones, Firestones, Toyos and Yokohamas, for example, can be quite heavy due to the stiffer, reinforced sidewalls...

    Performance impact of lighter wheels?

    From experience: Your braking distances will improve Your steering will feel lighter and livelier Your acceleration will feel snappier Your car will love you more. OE VAG wheels are like steel-toed work boots: strong-ish but HEAVY and not suited for speed work. You’re gonna love the new...

    New arrival today. See attached photo (of my huge package). How I feel inside… 😏 😎 Like 👍 if you think 28mm will be enough girth to satisfy her… (Stormy. What were you thinking of?)

    I found this thread and photo I was looking for and I’m tying it in here. It’s only a 2-pager and the first page has everything folks would need. Pic of one of our members coming around Oak Tree (hard corner at VIR): (Ed. - this is the best comparative photo I have seen for our cars, and the...

    front sway bars

    Rick, that is a beautiful GSW doing some work! Excellent list of upgrades, as well . Do you run those spring rates full-time on the street? I imagine they would be quite punishing on normal public roads, but I also know from experience that Swift is a top shelf product with excellent...

    “Lap timers” thread

    Yeah I would just focus on capturing my runs and importing later. That way I can take my time watching my driving, lines, and evaluating my mistakes. I am hoping that with the new 28mm front sway bar I have coming + some camber mounts that I can carry more speed into the corners and use my...

    “Lap timers” thread

    THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! 👏 🍻 ❤️ I am a tech Luddite, and this does a wonderful job at explaining how each of the optional devices interact with one another. I would be furious if I had a BT device disconnect at random and ruin my lap data. I will look into external GPS receivers and acquiring a...

    “Lap timers” thread

    Just verifying my comprehension here. Veteran track hounds please confirm the following: 1) The OBD plug-in units are to acquire the car's telemetry and engine activity 2) The external GPS unit is to more precisely locate the car's position on track 3) The cell phone apps w/integrated phone...

    Thank you, Adam. The California Oracle couldn't find that video of yours with any of my search methods. It's precisely what we need in this thread. There was another SB thread somewhere where another fella (not your GSW pic)...posted a pair of photos of his car, in the exact same corner, at...

    Thank you for catching this. 👍😢 I normally go off stock torque specs, I only included the 034 PDF as a helpful supplement. That sucks that one wrong torque spec in that article can ruin somebody’s day. I’ll have to go back to the article and verify the info now. For now, I went back and...
