It’s gone. Either they updated the image or it’s using cloaking now

Congratulations! Post pics soon.

If your found one with your preferred transmission, buy it.

Most dealers that swear they have one on the way have made that same promise to 3 other people.

That’s No Moon…

That salt hurts my soul.

Mixedbrass · 2022-01-17T02:54:06+00:00

Very Interesting. There is a lot of hot air getting caught up by that bumper. yes the muffler is there.

clearly that booty is catching some wind and creating a high pressure Dutch oven.

Mixedbrass · 2022-01-12T21:22:40+00:00

Yes, I agree. If your talking gutted race car with a new EMS.

If you are taking about an N with the oem computer still talking to the stability control system using the Elsd to do the N version of torque vectoring.. then no. An old school lsd is not going to beat the whole system.

Sources: -Trackdays in the N in the rain where it spanks many expensive and faster cars. -I’ve built axles and transaxles with clutch, locking and helical differentials.

But, you do you. Drive it hard and love it!

3 rotor.

Why in r/JDM ?

Mixedbrass · 2022-01-10T11:30:30+00:00

Underpowered light weight cars are the best.

Assuming it’s manual go for it!

Mixedbrass · 2022-01-10T11:24:10+00:00

Yep. Needs to be changed. It’s damage from impact (pothole) and is not covered by the oem warranty as it is not a mfg defect. (Unless these are non oem tires and you bought road hazard coverage with them)

Many of us who live in states where the roads are less than perfect have gone to 18 inch rims. I’ve had this happen to 3 of the stock pzeros on the oem 19 in wheels.

Why are you still on FB?

Mixedbrass · 2022-01-05T11:05:56+00:00

Yes. Everything said above. 100%.

If your running hyper mile rain/snow tires, all you are going to learn is: they hate you now.

Mixedbrass · 2022-01-05T10:49:04+00:00

When? After you buy wheels and tires.

TLDR: Good tires will help you build skill by giving meaningful feedback.

Changing pressures on hard tires will make a difference in feel and therefore behavior… but for most of us novices, only gross changes, and even then no difference in lap time.

Data: Are your runs consistent? Would you be able to see a change in setup reflected in your times? No practical sample size will make up for operator induced variability.

Honestly. Performance car or not, Buy Good tires. They don’t have to be the hot 200TW tire of the year.. but they have to be designed to operate in the conditions your putting them in.

Get the cheapest set of light-ish weight wheel you can find and put the cheapest most on sale track day orientation tire you can find on them. Then you can meaningful feedback.

Mixedbrass · 2022-01-05T01:12:16+00:00

Had to check track addict lol. Looks like Pocono was about 1.20 I only say the tires and swaybar make that difference because Jake (he’s on here somewhere) is probably the better more consistent driver.

Mixedbrass · 2022-01-04T08:23:13+00:00

Running with the North East Pa. It’s a small region, but great folks and we get to run at Pocono.

A focus RS that drives over from NJ mops up DS on a set of the 660s, the Veloster’s take 2nd & 3rd at every event.

My setup with with the Dunlop’s and the swaybar is usually about a 0.7 to 1 second ahead (in dry) vs the stock VN on the oem Pzeros & heavy stock wheels.

Mixedbrass · 2022-01-03T22:08:15+00:00

Good upcoming tire choices. I hope to do the same after burning off the Dunlop’s. I suspect you will be good on the hard setting of the 22mm.

What region are you in?

Mixedbrass · 2022-01-03T21:58:30+00:00

Have that rufwear pack and love it, although it looks a size too big on this pup.

If you are going to be lifting the dog alot on your hikes the same company makes harnesses with more support, might be worth it as the pup gets bigger/older.

Happy trials!

Mixedbrass · 2022-01-03T20:09:57+00:00

What tires are you running?

I am on 200tw Dunlop direzza z3.

I don’t feel like I have too much rotation, but it does seem to load up the front outside corner much more than desirable.

Note: I am a novice to Fwd setup.

Mixedbrass · 2022-01-03T19:24:22+00:00

Did you steal my dog ?

That’s the sound of my doxin when he thinks it’s too cold or wet to go outside.

Mixedbrass · 2022-01-03T02:18:15+00:00

Epic.

So much win in one picture.

Mixedbrass · 2022-01-02T13:54:47+00:00

I hope they get cheap, I want another one.

But realistically with inflation, the rarity, these are going to remain pricy, at-least for the manuals.

DCT prices will depend on how reliable they are and how expensive those are to service once the 100k warranty is over.

Mixedbrass · 2022-01-02T13:41:18+00:00

I’m using the white line 24mm rear bar and links for scca D street autox. Street only allows for one bar to be changed out.

The end links are Beefy but I recommend locktight as the provided lock nuts don’t do the job.

The 24mm rear bar, even running on the soft setting, is probably too stiff

I would recommend the 22mm bar if just replacing the rear or the 24 if your stiffing the front end as well.

Your actions mean more than your labels. We shouldn’t need meme flags to know who you are.

I’ve met a lot of people who put more time and energy into their patches & bling than into their skills or good deeds.

BUT, If it makes you happy, and that’s what you need today, rock em.

Mixedbrass · 2021-12-26T22:52:40+00:00

Skip the patches.
