Hell yeah, just been very busy with other stuff

You might need to if your studs are long. More likely for the rear. There's a video somewhere of me doing the rears on my car.

Still the stock clutch that came with the car.

Skip the 8350 and just grab the 9660/9668. I'm not sure what the price difference is but you'd really be kicking yourself if you find yourself having to upgrade again like I did. In reality it's not about how often you track, it sorta just depends on how hard you are on the brakes. Laguna hills the 8350 kit because it's just a series of long straights into hard braking zones. Since I got this kit I think AP released an even bigger kit with 275 rotors I think.

@@RacecarWRX okay yeah I’m pretty hard on the brakes as well I like to be as late as possible in the breaking zone. the price difference is about $1400 lol but yeah I think I should just figure proof myself. What pads are you running for street and for track? I’ve been recommended the Ferodo 1.11 for track and 2500 for street

I took the highest Ferodo pad. 3.1 I think. I typically use 100tw tires exclusively on the track and the pads seem to work well with them. I wouldn't use the 2500 for street driving, I did in the past and it ate my rotors. I just run HPS? Or HP? I forget what they are, but one of the entry level hawks for around town. But I rarely drive the car outside of going to the track and back

@@RacecarWRX okay gotcha yeah they have the HPS but I think the 5.0s were released as an upgrade to those I forget

Grabbed the 9660! The template clears both sets of wheels (4 mm on my track wheels-cutting it close!) can’t wait to install them!

Just a track car now... Slippery slope

Yes this diff has a Cusco RS inside.

@@RacecarWRX did you also upgrade the front too? how do you like the cusco rear? and how much different is the driving experience?

@@spencerblankenship6204 Nothing in the front. Rear seems good, but I only ever tracked the car with the LSD so I can't say what it felt like before.

Ehhh... They started chunking. I think it was too much for them. Good tire, easy to drive, but I think I was overloading them.

@@RacecarWRX thanks I ordered them a few days ago but I reordered them for firehawk Indy 500s instead . I plan on tracking 3-4 times out of the year and want something that will hold well Against high heat and hard cornering

@@boywhohadatiger glad to see another track addict!

@@RacecarWRX I can when I can get it in. It’s one thing daily driving spirited but it’s a whole other thing being able to maximize the car in a controlled environment

Seems like you are on the right track, just keep practicing.

Time for more brakes on that puppy!

Hey again! Good eye on the build up, it was very necessary. These tires were brand new, so still shiny on the shoulders and they don't like the cold. T2 kept washing out on me, so I just kept going around and around trying to warm the tires up to the point where they would stick. I'm not too sure what that CTR was doing, he seemed very lost. I think I came across him later that day, and he seemed fine. Probably just reacquainting himself with the car or track. My subie does the same today, I pull of the tires, change the oil, and put her away for our "Cali winter". Its cold enough that and potentially wet enough to ruin a track day, so I usually wait till Feb or March to try to head back out. Probably will be quiet around the channel for awhile, but gives me a chance to finish up my sim rig. Gotta get the driving in some how!

Doing iracing or something else? I started last year with my real world champ car team and it’s great. I’m using my OEM wrx seat, HP reverb 2 VR, and fanatec wheel and pedals. Unfortunately no good analog to a WRX, but definitely helps with vision and awareness in a crowd.

I use to have iRacing, but its too expensive for how often I get into the sim. I'm usually pretty casual, just hop on do some laps, try a few different cars. Recently some of the guys have been organizing races, and I try to qualify and race if I have time. We are all using Assetto Corsa. My current setup is a Logitech G27 with a Reverb G2. But I have an aluminum rig here, and I'm just waiting on the new fanatec gear to arrive. Doubt it makes me any faster, but it will be nice to have a better set of pedals and nicer wheel. I think there is one mod car mod for the WRX in AC, but the tires blow nuggets. I think I've gotten spoiled by driving all the formula cars.

Nope same exhaust. Car was feeling great that day and had tons of fun. Thanks for always watching the videos.

Year, make, model? Can bus wasn't as ubiquitous until after 2008. Older cars may not have as much info on the can network or might not even have a can network.

@@RacecarWRX It's a 2016 Vw Golf R. I was actually able to identify a channel that corresponds to TPS but the bits only run from 40-220, never drops down to zero or goes to 255 so I'm not sure if that's the primary TPS signal or not. It's displaying on the Dashboard gauge as around 16% to 86%, could this be correct and I just need to adjust the formula you think? And thanks so much for the response.

@@24MattyY You could just scale the formula so 40 = 0% and 220 = 100%. So maybe 180/100. I would also guess that you've found TPS voltage. TPS will always be some value greater than zero because it has to hold the throttle body open to let the car idle, which might explain why your byte value never gets to 0 and only bottoms out at 40. For a Golf R, I would imagine you have a TPS and a throttle position sensor. TPS doesn't always mirror accelerator position, such as when TC kicks in and pulls power from the motor even when your foot is pressing down on the throttle.

If you have an Accessport, assuming VW does something similar, this video might help : kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXPWfo2ClKmaY6c

@@RacecarWRX That makes a lot of sense, I'll try adjusting the formula and see how it works. Strange thing is when I read TPS through the OBD setting and cable it's giving me the same values, around 16-86%!

Car was unusually loose that day, and the rate/speed it wanted to rotate was faster than normal. It was kinda scary! It's easier for me to keep 9/3 at Laguna. Can't do it at Sonoma. 😅

@@RacecarWRX hope you had a lot of fun even if it was a challenge to keep up with the rear. Did you soften the rear a bit? Sway bar setting, coilover adj or tire pressure. I just got my 3 month closed deck build back and now dealing with a bunch of codes. 4 days to solve all the problems before the Glen.

It was fun, but I never really got a chance to dial the car in. I started getting a cel light at the end of the day. Fuel pump related, I didn't think it was a big issue given the fueling mods on the car but it was enough to stop me from chancing it. Hope you get your codes taken care of before the Glen. Its getting cold here so I assume winter is coming soon for the east coast.

One in the engine bay on there intake box and another between the two license plate lights.

😄😄😄 didnt notice that till you pointed it out hahaha

Sorry, that was done way before I started the channel. It's really straight forward though. Get the y tap from KB

KB?

Oh Killer B
