after burning through ball joint boots every season, i've finally got around to making some heat shields. i used some aluminum sheets i had laying around. the AMS back plate for the brake duct is a convenient place to mount the heat shield.

 

sorry if this has been asked before. what are you using to record your in car videos with two video feeds?

thanks

 

use any two recording device and merge the video with RaceRender. you can also merge obd2 data and gps data from lap timer. i use Trackmaster lap timer on android phone.

Love the build car looks great!!

 

thanks to my sponsor FortuneAuto for setting me up with their 510 series coilovers.

 

the car was making humming noise during right hand turns. i figured it must be the wheel bearings since most tracks i go to are counter clockwise. i replaced the two fronts first since i thought they have the most load on them. after replacing the two front bearings, the noise was still there. so i replaced the rear bearings and the noise is gone.

 

Nice work on the ball joint heat shield! Keep us updated on that.

 

That wheel bearing in the second to last pic was toast. Lucky that a bad noise was the only problem.

 

Yeah. All the grease burned out. I ran about 8 track days after I started to hear the noise faintly and it got louder after each event.

 

good eyes. and well designed indeed.

 

My favorite thread on evom. Just found this. Love the clean and thoughtful build. I just completed my first NASA track event and plan to track the car at several events. I PM'd or emailed you. I am sure I will upgrade worn out parts as I go similar to how you did. Thx!

 

Any input/feedback on the Fortune Auto Coilovers yet?

 

The FA 510 coilovers are great. Custom valved for 12k/14k springs. The car never felt better. I have a lot of confident to use a lot of curbs on track and the car would not get too unsettled. I've set several track records with NASA and NARRA on them this years. Street driving is not too bad either. But i don't mind stiff suspension. I actually just shipped them back to FA yesterday to get 2 ways and canisters upgrade. Can't wait to try them out in three weeks when I come back from vacation.

^^Nice! Appreciate the feedback sir!
