Rob, consider a spacer behind your steering wheel to bring it closer to you. In doing so, you can trade using your high power low accuracy shoulder muscles to steer in favor of more accurate wrist and elbow muscles. This will help reduce fatigue and strain.

[@aserta]

He needs a new steering shaft, using spacers is the cheap way and the dangerous way, but i agree with you that the position his body is in is not right.

[@bryceridesbikes]

Possibly just a dished wheel, his is fairly shallow

[@KKOOMMOORR]

yeah give those girly shoulders a bit of a break Rob

[@ascorbic123]

@@aserta I'm not sure a spacer is any more dangerous than a boss kit like he's already got on there. You see them all the time on older race cars

[@Edigor100]

very good advice, for racing your shoulders should brace against the seat, while the arms are still in a relaxed position rather than stretched

[@scottwheeler6173]

Your transmission fluid leaking issue... if its coming out of the top of the shifter, its the check valve at the top of the breather tube. Gut it and make it a permanent vent instead. Has a little spring and rubber washer in there

21:48 its ya boy, Hi lol Was a pleasure meeting and chatting with you Rob.

Every time I see anything with Haltech I'm always amazed by the level of support they offer their customers. I know you're paying a premium for it, but when I see a team of 3 techs thrashing to repin/rewire a whole new setup at the track it definitely seems worth it.

[@vladniko75]

wonder if this is something theyd do for just anybody

[@itschrislaw]

Auto-rev matching, or learning to heel-toe downshift would help you gain control in braking zones a ton. I'm sure its something that's on your mind, but maybe with the R3 it should be easier or more possible.

[@NathanaelNaused]

@@nikitaspapaggelopoulos9651 Are you misunderstanding how to do it by any chance? You don't turn your whole foot, you use the outside of your right foot on the gas and the inside on the brake at a slight diagonal angle.

[@thelachsmith81]

​@nikitaspapaggelopoulos9651 i have friends with size 13 feet that have no trouble with heel toe. I with size 11s have never driven a car i cant heel toe. Its usually more like big toe on the brake pinky toe on the gas

[@JLneonhug]

@@nikitaspapaggelopoulos9651 if he/they can rewire and ecu swap in an evening. They can adjust the pedal distances to suit whatever feet size or pedal travel to their liking.. As for us mere morals, we get some adjustable pedals for the vehicle and/or learn to roll the foot in different ways to be able to blip the throttle while braking.

Fueltech is used on plenty of drift cars , road course cars , street cars , boats , etc . The main focus is drag racing , but it looks like they plan on expanding into every Motorsports . Haltech make great products but acting as if the fueltech was the cause of the problem is weird .

[@BaldBozo]

@@24kNick yes fueltech can be and is used on all kinds of engines, and it's also true they're working to expand into other areas outside there core market of drag racing. However they haven't had as much time to perfect the software as much as some other companies such as haltech. I have no dought that down the road they're work everything out and make an amazing product, but if you venture down that rabbit hole today, be prepared for struggles while figuring things out.

Why did he keeps getting black flagged so much?

[@antonyaiken]

A black flag is usually a technical or safety error. As in, get off the track you're dangerous..... but they seem to be using it like a "pit in" flag. Which is incorrect

[@RobDahm]

I only got black flagged once for merging too soon. But the vast majority of black flags were from other people dropping oil or going off the course.

[@AEasyButton]

Your tuning ocd is insane dude. Thats not a diss either cause you've obviously been able to do some crazy builds and been able to get the to function quite well. HOWEVER, get this done to a good baseline before you get to the track if you can. Obviously shit happens and you might find something that you need to change but one of the most important things to mazimize track time is just driving ocnsistent laps at the track. Helps when you get to tracks that you don't know for driving knowledge. It ALSO will sheds lights onto issues that would happen at lower speeds(tires rub, any tuning issues, dumb shit that you just forgot just like everyone else). Sometimes you might be chasing an issue that is tuning related that only happens when you aren't pushing hard. Also get yourself a manual road car as a daily if you don't already. You should really try and learn heel and toe downshifts. This is kinda hard on the road but honestly easier on track when you are pushing imo. Keep making them rotors scream bud!

I think you’ve got mid-30’s in the car/you combination in those conditions. Love the soft hands on the wheel that gives you much better car control, matched with drive by throttle at times.
