My next track event is at Streets of Willow.

My wife is going to bring her Avant to the track and drive.....

 

i have an Asian Women Driving On The Track Joke....

Jk... no i am not.

Is she Korean too?

 

Avant, you say? Tyler CLtothe is gonna sh*t. That's hawt.

 

Yeah, she is. She actually enjoys driving spiritedly everyday and is pretty damn athletic. haha

Gonna check all the fluid before we go out to the track. It should be alright since it's her first time. Vwong told me some tips on prepping the car since he owns a B8 S4.

Fun times!

 

you know this is coming:


:p ics:

 

Do you facebook?

 

I don't always use Facebook but when i do, it is for someone else's wife.

LOL

 

I'm FB connected to a lot of AZine friends.

Just don't like posting my family's pics on public forum.

 

Probably a good idea.

 

It's Tila Tequila, isn't it?!?! No shame there, man...

Honestly, I'd love if my wife to be drove that way (and didn't kill 100 people in the process)

 

PS, gonna "check her fluids" huh?!?! yeah, I got you...

 

 

jeez you guys!

 

 

 

Tyler,

Come out to the SoW event on May 10!

Korean BBQ dinner on my wife running faster lap time than yours.

 

we need more updates dammit !!!

 

Hey, we can't be held accountable if you continually set the joke up perfectly!

 

I only bet on things I'm sure of winning

I may have to hold off on the May 10th event - car still needs a valve adjustment, new tires and I'd eventually like to get the clutch replaced.

I'll definitely let you know when I'm ready, you got me hooked on the track.

 

All good. Yeah, you most definitely need to get a good set of tires more than anything!

 

Easy solution, face swap them with Nicolas Cage faces.

 

Tyler, what are you rolling on for track days?

I got lucky, dude I bought from had done the valve adjustment already.

 

Waaiiit really Aaron!? In May? I think my friend's wife is going to be driving too! Supercharged miata or her 997.

 

Really!?

May 10 at SOW?

 

LOL I believe that is correct! That means I should be there too

 

Yeah, maintenance is key with these cars!

As for tires - Mixed street tire setup: Falken 452 -215s up front and BFG G-Force 245s in the rear.

 

Yessssss, let's have fun at the track man.

I almost cried looking at your tire set up at the track.

 

Gotcha...funny, as simple as a 20MM loss is very noticeable. I mean, fun for going sideways and for ripping it and losing traction...but 245's were much better for traction.

I'm running 225 all around right now, car feels stable, but for track, I can't beat 215/245 stock setup or more.

 

Just wanted to share something pretty cool.

This is the analysis of Driveway Labs diffuser. No I'm not getting this til later later.

But I did get my OE diffuser package yesterday. Gonna install it on this weekend.

 

I don't think I can see the pictures because they are attached within ft86club.

 

I cant either

 

RE: the tires

The chief engineer, Tetsuya Tada, wanted tires that could lose grip easily. Forget what video it was, but he wanted the driver to know that it was a RWD car. He wanted the rear to get a little loose in spirited driving. The goal to make it fun to drive, and I think they got that part down.

 

LOL...in that case, I did something similar with the 225's on the back of the S. I get flamed for it a little, but it's as wide as the oem ap1 tire and if you think about most enthusiasts...they learned to drive on 13" wheels with 155mm wide tires!

 

Sorry about that.

Here they are!

 

Wow, that's really cool! Any more installed pics?

Time to buy one for my TL so the haters know what's up.

 

why the red text?





regardless, great testing

 

I'm all about function > form but that diffuser looks like it was fabbed up in some guy's backyard.

I prefer the OEM diffuser just for the appearance.

 

I think that's when they were just in the testing stage.

The product actually looks very good in person. I've seen it at the track.

Some of the track junkies were mentioning that functional GT Wing + Rear Diffuser + Front Splitter combo transforms the car.

So very interesting.

 

you will see all kind of weird home made front splitters and rear diffusers on the track.

As long as it gets the job done, it does not have to look good.

some of the fastest cars i have seen (Civic hatchback) looks like they just came out of homedepot garage.

 

I'd be curious to see what the diminishing return on investment is in regards to the increase in downforce and reduction of drag at speeds less than 100mph since that's not normally a speed you'd be going on the track, other than maybe a straight away.

Seriously curious, not knocking it. The science behind it is interesting to me.
