  1. Jackson autosport specializes in Japanese performance vehicles. Very thorough and performs top quality work.
  2. Looking forward to giving this a try. Thanks for sharing!!!!
  3. I use a modded g27. Ive updated the pedals, am suppling more voltage to the force feedback motors and added cooling to offset the heat from increased voltage. Its good for a gear driven. If i was to upgrade i’d probably skip belt driven and go with direct drive. I wont upgrade until this thing dies which it shows no sign of. This article is a pretty good breakdown of options: http://simracingpaddock.com/sim-hw/2020-sim-racing-wheel-buyers-guide/ as poor as the h pattern that comes with the g27 is i cant imagine not having any.
  4. Pcars 2 and ACC are my go to. They both work really well with a VR headset. I believe that AC one can work well with VR but needed some fiddling.
  5. Two thoughts; Wouldn’t your muscle memory just learn that 85% down gives you 100% and just leave you with essentially a shorter pedal. Since the pedal itself is less sensitive wouldn't it be harder to “finesse” the pedal and get precisely the amount of throttle you need for a given situation.
  6. Yeah, everything is disposable. We should buy a brand new hybrid every 4 years cause it will be better for the environment.
  7. Perhaps a worthwhile exercise would be to apply the proposed rules to last year’s events and see exactly how things would have changed. Then you will see if this was an improvement. You may need to make some guesses on car mods but a rough in can help.
  8. I dont want to be a debbie downer here, but will power through anyways, having a solid roll bar near a soft head can lead to serious injuries in even a minor accident. There is a reason why helmets are necessary. I can totally see why they would make such a decision. But to answer the original question I’ve not heard of this new rule but MPI doesnt seem to feel the need to inform me when they change something.
  9. Remember kids, this is the only place where you want to get into as many stranger’s cars as you can.
  10. Hand tools and the internet can guide you through this diy style.
  11. I’d imagine that they are not coveted in the same way that spells, chants and occult rituals are not covered as they largly don't acutally affect the performance of a vehicle.
  12. That makes too much sense. My technique: Point the car four feet to the infield of turn one Floor it Let the understeer pull the car to the Apex. Rotate tires
  13. Autocrossers who are not used to wear will want to keep an eye on their tires and brakes and be prepared to rotate them. When I was Time Attacking I could go through both quickly if I was not careful. To keep perspective, I would drive an automatic 4 door focus (front heavy car) and would need to slow down to 80 - 90 for turn 1 from 160 or so.
  14. I did the membership director postition for most of a season and it is not fun. Most volunteers at least get the benefit of being at the track. The old way of the membership director took hours in front of a computer every weekend trying to reconcile the two websites for membership, excel files from special events, and hand written applications (some of which made me wonder how they passed the written portion of the mpi license exam). It needed to change and i appreciate an effort to make the position sustainable. I trust that they took into consideration the people who founded the club, who still take pride in their membership, and who do not have a computer or smart phone. They may not be active but they should not be forsaken. As for walk ups if the prospective member doesnt have a smart phone perhaps the registrar should or a notebook to help facilitate this.
  15. The walkthrough make it as easy as pie.
  16. One winter day we found an old straggly cat at our door. She was a sorry sight. Starving, dirty, smelled terrible, skinny, and hair all matted down. We felt sorry for her so we put her in a carrier and took her to the vet. We didn't know what to call her so we named her 'Pussycat.' The vet decided to keep her for a day or so. He said he would let us know when we could come and get her. My husband (the complainer) said, 'OK, but don't forget to wash her, she stinks.' He reminded the vet that it was his WIFE (me) that wanted the dirty cat, not him. My husband and my Vet don't see eye to eye. The vet calls my husband 'El-Cheap-O', my husband calls the vet 'El-Charge-O'. They love to hate each other and constantly 'snipe' at one another, with my husband getting in the last word on this particular occasion. The next day my husband had an appointment with his doctor, who is located in the same building, next door to the vet. The GP's waiting room and office was full of people waiting to see the doctor. A side door opened and the vet leaned in - he had obviously seen my husband arrive. He looked straight at my husband and in a loud voice said, 'Your wife's pussy doesn't stink any more. We washed and shaved it, and now she smells like a rose! Oh, and, by the way, I think she's pregnant! God only knows who the father is!' Then he closed the door. The silence was deafening.
  17. How big is the wheel one tires are attached to? What was stock size of the wheel? I'm betting the chassis bracing will move you always down.
  18. Oh and only the NA had the 26mm rotors so if yours are from a TT it will be 30mm no matter which caliper material.
