So when are you rolling it?

Video from last week at Morgan Park. The track was alot of fun, took me a while to learn it but got some good laps towards the end of the day, too bad the camera ran out of battery. Got some footage of the first few times out though.

by the way. Sound is just wind noise, trying to put a song to it but youtube is being slow. Took me like 4 hours to upload it and i forgot to edit in a song before i started it

Looks quick mate

Got the video without the music? I was looking forward to hearing it

Nah, its all wind noise. I had the windows open and the camera doesnt handle the wind too well. Next week ill film with the windows closed and get some engine noise

It may or may not help with the wind noise, but if you want the windows down, you could try some foam over the top of where the mic is on the camera.

great vid indeed, I miss the car/road noise though.

Should have car noise in the next one. Ill try some foam over the camera's microphone, it also has a socket for an external microphone so might play around with some other mics.

Today we got the rollcage back in after getting it painted black, started putting in a HKS oil cooler. Hopefully during the week we should be getting front strut brace and new steering wheel in. Next weekend is a Lakeside sprint so i will get some more video there.

Because i couldn't be bothered making 3 posts every time we do something, this update is on my webpage. The page is kinda updated, ill be posting stuff as we do it and get back around to catching up with older stuff later. The site is more of just a personal record then anything fancy but feel free to jump on there and check out what we have done/are doing. Ill still do a post here when we do something, just no with pictures and stuff.

Ive done some onboards in a mates Datto 1600 where we attached an external mic in the engine bay and ran the lead into the cam. Made a huge difference and sounded killer.

Yeh i have been trying to get an external mic working with my camera but im having trouble with it, ill keep playing with it and try work out something better.

Was at Lakeside yesterday for the sprints, its gotta be my favorite track

. Got my time down to a 1:03.7 from a 1:06.9, so i made a good improvement.
http://www.jtm29.net/2011/lakeside-stre ... -13032011/ Bit of a write up on it.

Got some videos coming, uploading each of the 3 runs separately and not in HD because it takes so damn long to upload.
First on is up, i went too quickly on my warmup lap and ended up catching up to the others too quickly and hitting traffic on all but 1 lap.

Nice laps, what speed do you roll through the kink at?

JTM29 · Post by **JTM29** » Mon Mar 14, 2011 9:58 pm

The car is speed limited to 180, the speedo is way off the end so im not sure, but it definately cuts power towards the end of the straight. Looking at getting a haltech to remove the speed limiter.

Not in my group no. I was second fastest in Road 8, which is 8 cycl and 6 cycl turbo.
Haven't got around to uploading the other 2 runs yet, hogs up my internet and keep forgetting to start the upload before i go to bed.
Picked up the Speed Limit Defencer yesterday so no topping out at 180

JTM29 · Post by **JTM29** » Mon Mar 21, 2011 2:25 pm

Video from my third run. All 4 fast laps were low 1:04's high 1:03's

I love to watch these.
The previous was good for one thing; to see how quickly you left everyone in the dust

(and also to watch you drive)
This one shows the track better. I like both, tbh

Grats mate! Really nice laps.

JTM29 · Post by **JTM29** » Mon Mar 21, 2011 2:38 pm

Second one i took the warmup lap really slow to bunch the guys up behind me so i didnt catch them so quickly. First one was fun but not really good for fast times

JTM29 · Post by **JTM29** » Tue May 24, 2011 7:30 pm

Was out at Lakeside on Sunday, got a 1:02.3 in the first run and was consistently in the 1:02's all day which is a good improvement from the 1:03.7 last time. The only changes from the last run is a Speed Limit Defencer which removed the 180km/h speed limiter that the Supras come with, so i was getting a higher top speed down the main straight. And we have put in a smaller steering wheel and a spacer to move it closer to me.

We have new lower swing arms for front and rear coming which will allow us to get some more negative camber.

Here is a video from the day. The incar is from my last run and the outside footage is from the morning practice, just stitched it together.

Great footage, love the mixed outside shots.

You're clearly driving it harder now, bits of corrections here and there ... hehe
