i guess if we don't want karma to get us, we best keep the car off the track.
nelly got hit with karma too when his car barely see track. ACD pump blew up, all the $hit that was done at CBRD just to get it street worthy. and i guess karma is going to catch up to that 6 speed pretty soon too, even though he doesn't take it out of 3rd gear on track

6spd should go soon, I can feel it getting worse.. great I want to upgrade and actually have a usable 2nd gear.
:20 and 1:03 is 5th gear. I actually only use 4th and 5th at lightning.. 3rd is not by choice. So learn how to count.
I've been running longer than the majority of you and I know how to feel out a car and what needs to be changed. What none of you understand is I can only work with so much time and funds that I allot myself in a budget that gets depleted easily.. remember I got lots of responsibility. Thai, Marc, Aaron, Mike have at least 8 years ahead of me in the game of life. So when I have some less experience guys tell me I suck at driving and it's all me and then in the past I have praise from pro level drivers, when I was less skilled I feel, then you'll understand why I get up in arms. IF I'm telling you a reason(or excuse as you guys put it) for that moment then I'm not blowing smoke. I have no reason to lie or make up things, I don't have a huge ego I just know what I'm capable of with a capable machine. I'd bet you if you put shoeberg in my car and me in theirs I'll win hands down.
I think my car is underprepped too then!

So what you're saying here is, you can't drive an underprepped car fast?

Things Chu's car don't have;
Coilovers you have valved billies with gtworx so you say right?
ACD you are better off without it if its not working
Front LSD ok you got me, actually nope, hey if my acd doesn't work the wavetrac is basically useless too
F & R Swaybars I have stock bars too
Shep or TRE Trans and Rear Diff Shep built only helps with longevity, I only have a rear LSD over you
Things wrong with Chu's car;
Worn suspensions bushings I have high miles too and stock bushings.
Grinding 3rd and 5th gear I got lock out and gate issues
Heavy sunroof I have heavier 6spd, but you have HKSGTII turbo, cams and tires to handle the slight weight you have over me.
Blown motor not my problem

You're not a bad drive, but you don't take criticism too well. We all saw at the trackdaze event that you were double braking and entering the corners off line. Sure, I don't have as much experience as you do but as soon as I saw you were off line, I noticed right away. Doesn't it mean anything to you if 5-6 people tell you the same thing? Karma got me too with a blown motor, but I guess that's not your problem, my car was just under prepped.

Need I have to remind everyone there are multiple lines for multiple setups and cars or are you guys experts in here. I've watch all you guys vids they are all different lines, even the pros have different lines from each other when you compare TiC versus GST or Dan O to Marc. I'm gonna say again for you people hard of hearing in person and reading on this thread for the last time. I COULDN'T DO THE SAME LINES, BRAKING POINTS, CORNER SPEEDS ON EVO12 SUMMER TIRES AS THE PEOPLE BELOW(not to mention all the other issues I had).
Chu on RS3
Mike on R888
Thai on NT01
Marc in M3 and Star Specs
With skinny summer tires you are limited, it's just not going to happen and if you think so you're fooling yourself. Once you guys realize this everything will be better until then get of my ish.
