AWD Miata Almost ROLLS During Intense RALLYCROSS Event!

[@henriquelopes7079]

Ging takes time to get good, do some changes that you feel are needed and practice more! You'll get there 💪

[@LUCKIPUP]

not just that but he should set up some anti lag to keep the engine in its power range

I’m no rally driver but if you left foot on the technical parts to keep boost

[@THEpicND]

adam theiss exactly what I have been saying. Left foot braking is huge for holding boost and modulating the slide to be tighter.

[@theluckycatcollective8788]

I am a rally driver kinda and it at this point I don't think turbo lag is really the problem. He'll get there, but concentrating on lines, clean driving, and the car's rotation will be better than trying to learn a new technique at the same time.

[@M3LKS]

He's not left foot braking?? Doesn't matter what car you drive, turbo or no turbo, left foot braking is a must in rallying.

[@M3LKS]

​@@theluckycatcollective8788 It takes literally only a few km to get used to left foot braking, so he should pick that up immediately. Left foot braking is vital for more precise car control especially on loose surface.

[@jongolliher3806]

@@M3LKS I agree, left foot braking along with smoother driving are both easy to learn and tenths of seconds saved will really pile up fast.

I'm excited to see the Rally Miata get opened up on a wide open terrain. The rally cross events are cool, but it seems like it has so much potential that can be unleashed as it seems too confined in this environment. Keep up the good work 👍

[@kevinponce8525]

Dune running miata

[@MaxIgnatyev]

rallycross events are super fun though and they're pretty safe. Stage rally gets real hairy and I don't think gingi or the car are quite ready, so I'm pretty happy to watch them progress. It takes time, but I'm sure they can get there and we'll be following the journey!

[@kevinponce8525]

@@MaxIgnatyev yeah if he was freaking out with two wheels up, he's def not ready. I've been following since the forza days and I gotta say the most fun part is seeing him get excited to grow

[@Avetho]

Yeah, Reagan needs to be opened up on more open terrain, but for the moment and for the next year at the absolute least, Caleb isn't ready for those kinds of speeds. So by a year from now, Reagan will be far more refined and capable and balanced, and Caleb will also be used to controlling a vehicle on loose terrain, including when the outer wheels dig in and the vehicle attempts to tip over. By then he'd be able to control it and stay calm even when Reagan gets uppity XD Our boy has grown so much since the days of Fred and Forza, and I'm ever excited to see him continue to grow into his full potential!

[@aaronbuettgenbach]

Just a little advice from someone that does rallycross, lower the car back down to about stock hight and smaller tires. Left foot breaking is also something to practice it will allow the car to rotate and stay in boost. Good luck my dude!

[@CarlMarx]

It's fine to not push your car, what is important is that you are pushing yourself!

[@wottle-b335]

I’d say to lower the car down a little and run smaller tires. Idk though, just a thought.

[@collincurtis5024]

I think it would work better overall

[@_Gingium_]

Yeah that's the plan for sure!

[@raomar0]

And sway bars as well will help

[@basiltschudi3283]

I‘d say shorten the final drive too

[@Drunken_Hamster]

@RAGEmonkeyyy Not that much.

[@remnot84]

You are still gettin more experience in it. And the car still is under construction for your own preference. Keep up the great work. Ypu get there

[@uaedriver]

Tip: when you're approaching a left corner for example, before the corner by 10 meters, turn to the right-hand side and then whip it into the corner while applying brakes, the aggressive weight transfer of the car will make it oversteer (which is what you want), clutch kick if needed to continue drifting out of the corner.

[@Ramon.Santiago]

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but keep your thumbs outside the wheel man. One bad bump steer and boom, bashed/broken thumbs. It's more common offroading, but the rallycross you're doing is off-road so just keep that in mind

[@guyboardman265]

Put your foot down and use the foot rake to modulate your speed. You’ll keep the revs up and stay in boost but will be going slow enough to get around a corner 👍

[@Lulu-st1og]

This track feels to be more like a bumpy trail and not like a smoth rally cross track, how it should be...

[@roberthughes2360]

I definitely think the shorter ratio 4.44 5 speed would help a lot, it would give 1st a lot more power to spin the wheels. And they arent super expensive compared to an sti trans swap.

[@_Bram]

Lower tyres would be even cheaper and would give sufficient ground clearance on this track

[@98EtienneLe_Friser]

The 5 spd TY754VB1EA have dccd and lsd in the front and back and shorter gearing (same as 22b) this could be a good option

[@imnota]

His wheels are literally two inches too big, so I'm sure fixing that would already help a lot.

[@EyebrowsMahoney]

Tickles a bit doesn't it! I rallycrossed my Cherokee. One morning the soil was wet and slidey. One of my friends dad had a v8 dakota on meats and churned up the soil easily which lead to it drying more. On one of my runs, I threw it into a switchback that I normally slid in, but having gone directly after the truck, it was dried up on the edge where a berm formed from the displaced soil. Ended up tipping onto 2 wheels, had a choice to set it immediately and miss the gate to a 5 sec penalty, ride it a bit and take the cone out for a 1sec penalty, risk it and make the gate.... I chose the cone. Glad to see you out there having fun!

[@aidanware1]

you could try and left foot brake maybe that might put that weight over the front wheels and give you that rotation you need to get around those corners

[@Avetho]

And allow him to keep boost since he doesn't have rally-style antilag

[@kiwirar5885]

You gotta remember what they used to say on Top Gear my guy, good laps often look slow on camera and the exciting looking and extravagant footage ends up posting slower lap times. You're never going to stop improving.

Hey, Caleb, don't make yourself look so bad! The best way to get faster in rallycross is to get seattime! When it comes to your shots from inside the car or from the outside, I think you can see a huge difference from last time.

I have no knowledge of the technical details , but wouldn't it be helpful to have a rear focussed power distribution so you can get quicker into drifting ? Maybe something like a 30/70 or 80/20 rear/front distribution ?

[@Zoltec-q1g]

My advice to stay in boost: Smaller rims and/or tyre Anti Lag

[@Antilag99]

Great car you need rally anti lag system you can tune on motec or link ecu it as rally driver it helps me alot so you can keep the boost up in the corners and great sound too here in the medialeast we always use antilag setup in our rally cars and drift cars Cheers

[@davidblanck4131]

The smoother you are, the slower you will look. Autocross and rallycross generally look slow. Getting better is all that matters. You definitely seemed to have improved.

[@1kontrolr872]

If your current tires are LT rated try going to a slightly smaller XL rated tire and you will find a lot of benefit. You have to remember that the unsprung weight on a vehicle is what affects handling and acceleration the most.

[@EyebrowsMahoney]

Also, rallycross always looks slow. So don't beat yourself up. Everyone is at such a distance that speed doesn't scale well, and interior shots always look slow as well. You did well, and you'll get better! Keep it up!

[@brandonburton3919]

i say get smaller tires made for rallying instead of offroad tires when going to a rc event

[@barrybend7189]

Is there a way to make a 4x4 miata without a Subaru drivetrain?

[@THEpicND]

Left foot braking is what you are missing my man!

[@topmo2or782]

And a proper powerband. Only power at very high rpm. Cool at the streest and the dyno, not for rally.

[@THEpicND]

Top Mo2or smaller turbo would help for sure, but left foot braking helps keep boost in tight corners and helps you keep the angle tight and dirt

[@imnota]

@@topmo2or782 I think the power band is good, the turbo he's using is supposed to spool pretty fast, I think the huge wheels make the gearing seem very long and that makes the car look like it spools at 6k rpm.

[@topmo2or782]

IMNOTA Should spool at 3500 or something. A built wrx engine with orginal turbo (with 37mm restrictor) in a Gr. N makes somwhere around 280-310 hp but the power is always there.

[@blakecolonna4658]

You might be able to change the flywheel to a heavier on to keep more wheel speed and momentum

[@mihailpetrovici5044]

I think the engine is going lean as you press the gas. I think the tip-in is snot set correctly, you can hear the engine reving and see the wideband going lean And I think left foot brakeing with right foot on gas so you keep the turbo in boost

[@miikaheikkinen5567]

You probably should consider a hydro E-brake to initiate those slides you were talking about. And a shorter gear ratio.

[@aidenfoss7200]

I don't remember what you used but if you have the sti center diff and it's a 70/30 split it will make you slide a lot better. You don't really need the 5050 the wrx center diff has for the amount of grip you already have

[@Bikini_ST]

You need to learn throttle modulation. Stabbing at the throttle throws off balance. You gotta learn to hold partial throttle thru the corners. In a fast lap you should be either on throttle or braking. No coasting

[@Al.Venture]

The fans want a “Gium-khana” video! Gotta find some spots to practice!

[@danielgarcia-dt7fy]

Gingium look your tires are too big you have a current baja style tires which grip up you need smaller in side wall sidewall width and maybe a different tread pattern so you have less grip and are able to slide around corners don't believe me then why are all rally car tires have small side wall profiles ? So I suggest you keep the rims just get different tires but you also like to do go on the dunes so it would make sense to also keep the current ones for those applications good luck

[@keon5779]

I agree, but dude, use some punctuation for fucks sake. That was really difficult to interpret.

Hey gingium very nice car and nice videos overall :)) I really appreciate your project. I am an motorsport engineering student and I'd like to give you some modification suggestions that'd would in my opinion, improve your cars performance and handabilty on autocross events Smaller diameter rallye tires Smaller exhaust turbine Increase Lauch control limiter And a flyoff handbrake Cheers :)

Add some NOS in the low end or get a smaller turbo, should make it way more snappy

@Gingium, it’s hard to tell but do you think you’d benefit by installing lower gears in the Rallyata to get some more grunt in the low end?

[@kenlaw922]

Caleb (sorry if I spelt your name wrong) I may be really wrong but, have you thought changing the gearing of the diffs to complement the powerband and yes the smaller tires will help getting into the powerband.

So It kinda has a Suzuki Samurai center of gravity now ?

[@noiiaz96]

Have you ever thought about shorter gearing? If you get in boost by 4-5k rpm in first gear and that's 15-20mph, it means that's the speed you gotta go to keep boosting, and that might not be possible in the tight track you are visiting!

[@noiiaz96]

Also, you might wanna do a hydro setup to correct some of that understeer when you get into corners!

[@BLAzExRELoADEd]

If you turn the LC up a tad bit should give you a better start also

[@rubenbraekman4515]

With smaller wheels it's going to freaking fly! Hell yeah

[@jrboostin]

You need to take the power down. Once you are comfortable with your foot down always and learn your lines then add more power back in.

[@boostedlife6186]

Smaller hot side housing on the turbo loose top end but quicker spool

[@JMacTrades]

Try to fab a triple bypass setup like trophy trucks have. That will help transitioning in corners

[@PurpleDark420]

I wonder if he left foot broke more if it would help keep boost up if he was simultaneously on throttle. I do it in my car when I'm having fun in the car :D!

[@arturk2308]

I think you should install ALS and hydro, it will make a huge difference. Also left foot breaking to let that tail go loose. Top 3 will be all yours in no time

[@tuxedorooster9337]
