Me and Jack go way back and I can tell you it was not pretty. Fun, but not pretty.


Hope to see some GoPro action soon.

Driving home. Will get video up in the next few days. She goes like hell and the car just works really well. I freaking love the car.

I thought I was going fast. Then I rode in my buddy's GT3 cup car and turned some 1:55s.

The good news is that the cup car tires are 275 and 315 and the exact same height as the current tires so I can run his pull offs. So I got sticky tires figured out.

Now I just need better brakes... Absolutely roasted em by my last session. Had the pedal go to the floor on my last hot lap and had to pump during the cool down. Spooky. And I need a bigger oil cooler.

Meh on the Jack. I'm a burbon guy.

Good to hear and can't wait to see the vids.

Them ole Wilwoods def need an upgrade.



Me and Jim Beam don't get along.

Vince-

Looks like the high temp may be a bad ground adding resistance. Will start there and then check the sensor resistance if it's not the ground:

PS - video is not great mounted the go pro too high in the cage so you don't get a ton of track in the video, mostly cockpit.

Vince- So if I switch to speedtech upper control arms I should have a lot more steering articulation? That seems like a much better fix than spacers or new wheels. Is the geometry substantively different or are the current control arms significantly better? I assume I'd have to realign after the swap?

Thanks,
Jason

Makes sense, I'd rather see the sender in the filter block too

Nice car! Are you doing tack days at thunder hill? I have a buddy that has a white GT3 from Sacramento wonder if it's the same guy? I have learned a ton from this site and everyone seems to be really helpful. Met a few of the guys on here in person fun group. If you get a chance you have to do one of the Optima events!

Most of your pics are failing to link.

Any links to your Forester build?
