The first video shows a couple laps running behind the 914/6/3.0 (SixAddict) of a good friend. The longer part shows a little more solo action...man these cars are fun!
Second Day after changes (1 lap only) - amazing balance in the car! https://youtu.be/NhHMaa0_R5o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhHMaa0_R5o https://youtu.be/LfFdP8GnXiQ (12+ minutes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfFdP8GnXiQ https://youtu.be/9Te6GScwxek (3 minutes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Te6GScwxek The GT3 Cup is faster everywhere but still allot of fun to (try) keep up with. I might be a smidgen faster down the straights - barely at best. Tony |

My good buddy, Terry O'Toole (SixAddict)" was also here this weekend. He did a great job piloting his "massaged" 3.0 914 around! Herman (Porter?) - it was also good to see you again! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
Andy - I don't have telemetry...I have "seat of the pants" feedback - low tech I guess. The car felt amazingly stable but once I pushed it a little harder the rear was getting loose. It was occurring too easily though. Today, before the second session, I changed four things (at once), I know that's not suggested but fortunately it worked. We took 1" off the front bar (tighter), lowered the rear by 3/8", lowered tire temps to 25 psi (from 27), and set the rear shocks to full-stiff. This made an amazing difference - totally settled the rear when pushed and stayed that way throughout the entire session. Andyrew - Thanks. Yes it is very stable. John/Wndsrfer - Thank you. The trans is an early Boxster S (iirc a 2003) with a Guard LSD and the shifter is made by CAE with motorsports cables. I couldn't imagine an H-pattern shifter/trans being any better (for performance). It took a little time tweaking and adjusting but once we got it dialed in - oh baby! How was Daytona? Video you can share? BTW: You might have noticed an ignition stumble several times..I am not doing this of course. A flaw in my intake design has the MAF sensor at a convergence point where as it needs to be fed within a 4" tube and with a straight feed 6" prior. We are having to use a speed density tune which isn't perfect. Parts to correct this are on the way but not in time for this weekend. In the future this stumble will (should) a thing of the past. It caused the back end to come around on lap 2 in the video - I just kept my foot in it, steered towards it and pulled the next gear. A little unnerving at times... Tony |
