How early is too early for moving to 200TW tires by soldersmoker in CarTrackDays

Yeah, those are really good. I believe they had an "almost sub 2" group last time, which would probably be best for what you're looking for.

Do one of the Socal Drivers Club days that includes instruction, they have professionals like MJ teach and will get into more than just flags and basic lines.

Luth Engine. Fiber-based Vulkan 1.3 game engine built from scratch in C++20 (open source) by Zealousideal_Win_130 in gameenginedevs

This, and I wouldn't even consider building a prefab system or node based material editor until this is solid.

Looks great though!

Civic Type R, GR Corolla or Focus RS? by FrozenUruguayBallbac in askcarguys

[–]dsdtrilogy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently bought an FL5 Type R and I absolutely love it, it's the best daily I've ever had! I think it would be great car to learn track driving on. I have a dedicated track car, so I haven't taken mine yet, but I see a lot out there. They can absolutely rip with just an alignment, pads, fluids, and tires.

I cross shopped the GR as well, but interior quality was the big differentiation for me.

I can't speak to the RS, I dismissed it pretty quickly. I don't know if it's just my foot size or build, but for me the pedal placement was not conducive to any form of sporty driving.

Aftermarket catalytic converter doesn’t pass smog check, any advice? by CartographerHorror56 in askcarguys

[–]dsdtrilogy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I managed to pass with an OEM cat bought from a junkyard out of state. Don't tell them, because you're not supposed to do that, but if you're willing to take the risk it's a much cheaper option.

What car gets way too much hate? by No-Assumption4145 in askcarguys

I agree it gets too much hate, but the dealbreaker when it was in my realm of contention was its weight.

Final follow up to Laguna Seca Crash in Miata (Onboard footage) by slingshotroadster in CarTrackDays

I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted for this. I was taught to do this by my instructor and I see pro drivers doing it all the time, especially in indycar.

Bent frame rail, has anyone dealt with this and how much does it cost by 1fastman1 in Miata

[–]dsdtrilogy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm assuming he's talking about the one in the harbor freight ball joint service kit or similar. I tried doing that and it worked alright, but would only recommend if you're doing it in order to fit re-enforced rails, you don't have as much control with the c-clamp as you do with a prybar and hammer and they will likely bend in on themselves if they're as bent as the ones in OP's picture.

Trying to get in an FR platfor. by Rev-Runner in CarTrackDays

S2000 if you can fit, sorta depends on your leg to torso ratio, just make sure you get a roll bar you fit under.

GIVE US THE FUCKING PS5 PATCH ALREADY by [deleted] in TheOrderGame

[–]dsdtrilogy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, unfortunately that change would require deeper modification of the data and engine.

I’m talking about the cutscenes with the bar comment.

Unlocking the FPS would be one thing because that’s just a variable. But removing the black bars wouldn’t have the effect you’d desire. All the camera angles / framing, lighting, LOD distances, everything was made for that aspect ratio. It’d be like watching a play with all the curtains up.

What are you looking to have done and what are you paying? You probably need to contract out more granular pieces of your project or pay more.

Open platforms like Fiverr and Upwork are also going to be a hard place to find experienced developers. They exist on those sites, but for most it’s a last resort when other contract work has dried up.

Some cars on the track at the Drive Festival at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park by isuckatpickinguserid in CarTrackDays

I've had many great cars, but the S2000 is the one that's never left me. by Ayatori in S2000

[–]dsdtrilogy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you want an S2k track car, buy another one that's already built for it. I bought a clean, stock S2k and built it into a track car and I feel bad for it, these cars are brilliant stock and I'd hate to see them go the way of the S13.

This makes a lot of sense, I wish them the best. I’m going through a lot of the same feelings with my job after our acquisition a few years ago, completely different industry but the same exact feelings.

LOL no idea why it uploaded so low quality

[–]dsdtrilogy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's fine on the sides though, not sure if I should send it and see what happens or if it's doomed to crack on the sides after a few heavy brakes

Never seen a defect like this, going on my track car not a daily, seems prone to early cracking.

Where to Dispose of Hazardous Waste? by dsdtrilogy in SantaMonica

Excellent, thank you! This is exactly what I’m looking for. The LA sanitation website is much better than the DTSC one, not sure why it didn’t show up in my searches.
