More summer shake down sessions, trying to dial in the suspension and camber settings this weekend while competing with friends in the 86Cup. New coilovers from Shaftworks are feeling dialed in, and my alignment settings feel perfect. Checked tire temps with pyro and things looked good for the RE71RS tires.
Not a PB weekend for me but I got the data that I wanted to help me setup the car for grid life in the next few days.
My rotors are completely gone so my braking is a bit weird in this video, i didn't have the usual amount of confidence because of that .
