^ that's pretty cool. yeah, need to adjust the exposure. your brakes never got up to temp? they were still squealing at the end of the vid.

He's probably living that Raybesto ST43 life haha

ST45 actually

I went through the camera setting and didnt find that option. I will contact samsung support, maybe with a software connected to the PC?
Yes they were very up to temp LOL. The ST45s are crazy loud. My GLOCs R18 were too.

People say the OE shims eliminate noise. I've got Ti shims instead. Wonder if they were cut along the same line as OE if it would quite them down.

It will not.

My rear ST43s SCREAMED no matter what. Loudest pad ever. The Hawk pads are much quieter (Raybestos were still better in my opinion though).

some laps around NJMP Thunderbolt from last weekend. Reset my previous TT4 track record.

Nice driving! super smooth. I can see you know that track very well. That car has alot of traction too.

thanks, yeah i probably have more seat time at this track than any other track. the car has less traction this year compare to last year since moving down to TT4. less aero and hoosier R7 instead of A7.

My "best" lap at NJMP Thunderbolt this past weekend with Schattenbaum PCA and obviously nothing compared to honda-guy. This was my first time in the Evo at this track. I was on 255/35/17 Hankook RS4.

This is my autox car, but I am just having fun with it as I have just started doing some HPDE. Started Day 1 in Yellow (maybe HPDE1 at NASA) and moved to White (HPDE3 at NASA?) on Day 2. The lap was pretty good up till turn 7 where I overshot it plus the glare of the sun, otherwise, I think I could have made it to the low-mid 34s. I had to stay tight at exit of Turn 10 due to a spot that never got dried up and it would make the car slide.

Constructive comments welcome.

looks like a pretty good lap. turn 5 is a tight turn, so i try to get back to the right side as much as i can after T4 to make that turn as wide as possible. also looks like you short shift into 5th early, wait to shift just before the last turn. you used up the curbings which is good.

Thanks for the feedback. Definitely need to work on Turn 4/5, I have only gotten more comfortable this weekend to take Turn 4 quicker than the last time I went with another car. The biggest problem I have with 5 is if I go wider, it feels slippery to me, perhaps is because everyone takes the tighter line. But will try that next time.

I also short shifted almost everywhere the entire weekend to protect the engine, but for some reason, I shorted shifted even earlier in that last turn. But you are right, I would have picked up more speed getting onto the main straight.

The next time, I will probably try to push it a little more especially at corner exit everywhere, I was really conservative on the throttle this weekend. Hopefully, I will get to a few NASA event too.
