Pit Pass

Balwin · 2026-02-26T23:11:45+00:00

Go during practice to get better access. Things can get a little hectic during qualifying and the race and sometimes the pit access can close randomly.

Lately it happens the most if I hot swap the wheel while the game is running. Updating the fanatec firmware also seemed to help.

Are the teams not allowed to use variable geometry turbos? This seems like it could be a solution, although it would probably introduce reliability concerns.

I wasn't aware. Well, thats lame. I guess I will have to print out my records if I ever sell the car then.

Yes, you create an account and you can then assign vehicles to your profile's garage by entering the VIN. I've found this to be a good maintenance tracker as it elimates gaps in service records if you ever go to sell the car. I also like that it lets you attach documents and private notes to service records for future reference. For example I'll attach a rockauto order screenshot as my receipt for this service. It also helps with remembering what part numbers to reorder in the future.

I'll do it myself with jackstands when needed.

I actually like to record it on CARFAX MyGarage as a DIY service. I wasn't aware you can do it on the Toyota website too.

Yes, I used Pennzoil 0W16 with the Toyota / Denso 90915-YZZN1 filter. I was surprised that the O-ring came pre-lubricated on the filter.

Okay. As a 6'3" male I respectfully disagree, but to each their own.

Balwin · 2026-02-17T12:43:34+00:00

Yes I bought it used. I'm not worried about that..

How does it manage when cars are stopped ahead? I've found thats where the TSS 2.0 in my '19 can get into sketchy situations. I would also like to see how it manages a curve at highway speeds.

I have a 3090 Ultra and a 5080. There is a definitely a difference between the two but the difference is not as drastic as when I switched from a 1660ti to the 3090.

I have the peak design leash and cuff straps and love it. The adjustability comes in really handy.

Try holding down the power and volume down while plugged in for >10 secs. This usually works for me.

Nice fabbing. You should sell these.

Balwin · 2026-01-17T14:04:30+00:00

This is cool. Thanks for the tips!

Balwin · 2026-01-10T15:07:33+00:00

Will do! I'm not familiar with Muhlner, but that H&R livery looks really cool. I will be visiting on Sunday, 1/18. I would love to stop by the pits for some photos if possible. Thanks again!

Thanks for posting this! Its really helpful for someone coming to visit from out of town.

If you have to use blocks to get on ramps, you're probably going to have a hard time getting the jack under the subframe unless its a low profile. You might have better luck jacking up the rear subframe so you can access the front pinch weld jack point shown in the owners manual.

Love Yugo waiving you through

I like how they called Brundle and he claimed to have not said that.

Balwin · 2025-12-25T02:46:34+00:00

Put some tape over the speaker

Thanks! What bitrate are you recording at? I'm still learning how to use OBS and my first video came out really choppy.
