9CCD III: Official Chat Thread

[Racerx78]

on my wrx, I started with the common theme on nasioc, RSB. I couldn't get through a slalom or fast sweeper without the backend deciding to go first. I swapped ams went FSB only and I immediately got very fast.

I currently run a F&R bar. I need a setup that works well in all the time. The front bar helps with turn in but at the expense of added understeer. The STi's that run bigger front bars typically run STU, where they have wider stickier tires to make up for it. I can't do that right now i've got some testing to do. With the warmer weather, i can get down to Hocking Hills(Baby Tail Of the Dragon) to see which setup works best.

Don't hate our love of the "Twisties"

Yea man... Twisty roads are fun


Easy way to remember sway bars.

FWD car works well with a RSB
RWD car works well with a FSB
AWD car works well with a FSB

some people are drivers, some have other people drive their cars well

I drove my car at the last dragon. You missed it.

Yea i've seen that but then there is the rule, thicker FSB to reduce oversteer and thicker RSB to understeer. I've got both so i will play with what feels good.

I have a thicker RSB only and my car will rotate the rear but it's noticeable and easy to correct

Fiesta ST at the ring... almost eats it..... but saves it twice...

 

[k757]

good car, good driver.... and a little luck

Supposedly according to the discussions at Jalopnik the car is a dressed up 1.0 model.

Where was the second save?

 

[death_roll]

Looks like the damn BMW driver was going too slow, Fiesta came up behind him and let off, causing it to spin.

...and no Fiesta ST for me, drove one and did not really like it too much.

 

[Nix]

I figured one save was the first off and getting it back on track without hitting the wall, second one was the making it off the track again and then making the corner. heh... I could be wrong. its basically one big "oh crap" all the way.

 

[PainIs4ThaWeak]

Well... Today is a happy day for me. Looks like what I was hoping for actually worked out in the end. And....

I am now the proud owner of one of three, manual transmission, 1998 Kaiser Silver NSX Coupes!


See you at the Dragon!

 

[bootyluvr]

Damn!!! Lucky.

Bringing it to the Dragon?

 

[PainIs4ThaWeak]

Damn!!! Lucky.

Bringing it to the Dragon?

Definitely consider myself lucky. One for finding one so rare (there were only 22 NA2 [3.2L/6spd] hard-top coupes produced, with only 15 of those being manuals, and only 3 in that color), and two for being able to actually afford it.

And of course I'll be bringing it to the Dragon!

WTF!!! Wow man, that is awesome! Congrats! I hope you get a big smile on your face every time you drive it.

I think I just might have a problem removing that sh*t-eating grin off my face, yea.

 

[SpartanML]

That is so awesome. Congrats! Can't wait to see it in person. I suspect I know which car will be getting ALL the attention now haha.

 

[07TLX]

Congrats man

 

[Dar-Dar]

That looks amazing. I posted on the 8th too.

 

[Racerx78]

Got a chance to test out my new gopro setup at our latest AutoX. I'm using 3 cameras, and will probably use something like this at the dragon.
