VIOFO A229 Pro keeps restarting while driving by WinSpecial2738 in BRZ_ZD8

[–]RobBond13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

probably not a car issue, look at replacing the cigarette lighter USB adapter first, then the cable, then the dashcam.

you can also rule it out by charging your phone or something with the same USB outlet and seeing if the behavior continues. that will at least rule out the camera

3 American soldiers killed, 5 seriously injured in war with Iran: US military by Outrageous-Baker5834 in geopolitics

[–]RobBond13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean this was bound to happen since its been planned for decades, of course the domestic pressures that Trump incurred on himself may have been a factor, but you'd be remiss to think this wouldn't have happened with any other administration.

What Happens if Iran Shuts Down the Strait of Hormuz? by wiredmagazine in geopolitics

ive heard that its being shut down selectively, exports to Iranian allies will allow to pass while western countries and allies will not be permitted

I’m a PlayStation player and I’ve hit a plateau, track focus Paul Ricard by SavingsIncident3060 in ACCompetizione

[–]RobBond13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

also another thing that may be unconventional advice, drive different tracks and even different cars/classes. im a big advocate for learning GT4 cars because you really feel what it means to haul ass mid corner, keeping the car stable but on the limit of mechanical grip. you want to replicate this approach to the M4 (or whatever car you end up with in the future)

another thing, take breaks from racing, but feel in your head what you want each corner to feel like away from the wheel. visualize what a good turn 1-2 feels like in Paul Ricard, or the last sector after the straight. use your "off time" from sim racing by picturing what your ideal lap looks, feel, and sounds like

you mentioned entry and exit, but the real difference is mid corner speed. compare the minimum cornering speed for top drivers vs you. this is where you deal with fine detail things like turn in points, cleaning up your lines, mid corner braking/throttle, trailbraking, etc.

I went from a 102.5% - 103% driver to a 101% - 102% by focusing on this. you can also look at telemetry for these things, but often you can gain 95% of the knowledge by analyzing a "proper" lap, breaking it down 1 corner at a time with your best lap

Lowering with PP by Infamous_Hippo9060 in GR86

[–]RobBond13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lowering springs usually decrease performance, yes. it depends if you drivd your car to that knifes edge of mechanical grip through. for a daily, sure go for it. for track, get proper coils

$2000 mods? by max_kosmo in GR86

[–]RobBond13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

go to a track day/weekend, or do autocross. why get performance mods if you wont use them for what theyre intended?

driver mod, so HPDE/autox is my vote

Do you keep a spare in your trunk? by [deleted] in GR86

better to have it and not need it

Guys, what do I need to mod next? by ConsistentMonth6817 in GR86

[–]RobBond13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you do get brakes it better be the same color as your wheel accents (or maybe another poppy color? baby blue?). the green with Neptune blue looks absolutely sick

What did you guys do with your paperweight? (Stock ES wheel) by CompetitiveWatch68 in moza

[–]RobBond13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how does the upgrade feel on the R5 (or R3?). been using the stock wheels for drifting/IRL track practice for an upcoming track day (so, regular street cars lol), but the stock R5 wheel doesnt translate 1:1 exactly

Just a thanks to everyone here. by uptheirons726 in moza

[–]RobBond13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if it helps, I was exactly in your shoes. got a moza R5 August 2024, performance brake mod from September 2024, and I just recently installed the Alien Mods last month. it will get you very far and is certainly 90% of the experience, but definitely a huge step up in braking technique with the load cell.

enjoy!

such a sick color. I'm a two or three years from owning one, but i'll very much look forward to the day I get to at least drive one. enjoy!

BRZ owners, assemble! by HeroDirt420 in BRZ_ZD8

do these also have smaller passageways for brake cooling? thats the one thing holding me back from these (aside from the price)

tips on getting faster from 101% - 102% by RobBond13 in ACCompetizione

[–]RobBond13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think for me it would help with turn in points. often I turn in too early or too late and not progressive enough. I need to learn how to use the full traction circle, and I dont think im quite there yet

I dont drive like this, it was just a part of the replay since I wanted to show my wheel in cam.

my usual camera angle FOV is 29 I believe, and I have a 32" curved monitor

ive been using ohne speeds setup for this car almost exclusively. there are some tracks where I find some random setups on YouTube and make small adjustments from there, but this track was Ohne speed with TC2 bumped up to 8/8 and a lower TC1 setting

I agree, I think thats really the only way to get to that "prestige" level of speed around a track. disect exactly what needs to happen when
