I spun a rod bearing, the most common failure on modified LF4s (it was tuned for E50 and put down 600whp). I think it was a combination of factors, but mainly 5w30 oil isn't heavy enough to withstand frequent circuit work - especially when modified and running ethanol. Drag racers don't see the WOT duty cycles and sustained oil temps that circuit driving experiences. The replacement engine is stock, but I now run Supercar 0w40 and am very happy with the Blackstone results.

Oh okay. I think I have read that before. Thank you so much for the detailed response. I came from an Evo X. I have been looking at the ATS V for years. I’m still trying to decide if I want to go back to the Evo or ATS V. I also see they are being stolen like hot cakes. So that worries me.

No mods, but must use aftermarket wheels; common fitment for 275s up front is 18x9.5 ET22. I now run 18x10 ET18s with a 275/35 and 285/645 Pirelli slicks fit with at least -3.0 camber.

Planning to be there Sunday April 21st with KYPCA, might be there this Sunday with JustTrackIt (depends on work). Will definitely look for ya!

@@Flyin_Viata I was planning to go the weekend in between those haha. Do those Bridgestones run wide compared to Michelin or Goodyear tires? Or you think they’re true to size. I’m currently on a 19x11 305 square setup with Kumho V730 but cant fit anything wider.

@@kbtracklaps 71RS run pretty true once mounted....295s are probably faster than 305 V730s (a great tire tho)

Thanks, saw you on grid! Barber is the most technical of the six tracks I've been to and just about the perfect length lap for HPDE...good for building experience/confidence and getting reps.

Thanks for the feedback. To start, I found a stock ATS-V to be an excellent car; the suspension was comfortable but definitely a bit on the taught side. It is a bit smaller inside than a F80. I did two 600mi+ round trips to Gingerman, car did great and got 28mpg+ at 77mph in stock form. With a 93 tune, the car can come alive and no fuel mods are necessary to run E30. My car has been moded but is still a semi-daily that sees plenty of office, school drop-off and grocery duty. As for on track, I know I can go faster. This video was my 10th track day, so with more seat time and experience I am getting more consisent and precise which is lowering times. Also in this video, it was my first day on RE71RS so I was getting used to their grip (which I did not take maximum advantage of) and it was also extremely windy (40mph+ gusts) so I was going 5-10mph slower on straights than I had previously. I think this contributed some to overbraking, especially into T1A. I've also found the PTM is restricting throttle application, even in Race mode, through the T2-3 complex. The faster I can rotate the car through T2 the faster I can straighten the wheel and get the power down for a faster T3 exit. Blowing an apex or two, late turn-in for T10, going slightly off-line, etc. all contibute to slower laps than the car is capable of. I'm hoping to get into the 2:21s this year at NCM on RE71RS and looking at video/data see how I can get there...I just need to execute.

That was 100% driver induced. Worst T10b exit of my two days there, far too aggressive angle outside despite knowing the track kinked right at the top of the hill, then too aggressive of a correction right when I saw the kink cresting the hill, then a WAY too aggressive correction back left. Should have lifted and braked when I was angling outside and got it squared away. "I am stupid"...but lucky.

Just Sunday….I was parked mid-paddock, right near the pit road entrance. What happened to your car? Saw it on the flatbed….bummer!

@@Flyin_Viata best case scenario? Blown turbo. Haven't got the motor opened, but checking through spark plug holes all the pistons are still there and attached to the crank, and we didn't find a hole in the block, so hopefully motor is still good, but I completely lost power and coasted to a stop, so I have a feeling it's more than just the turbo going out.

@@Flyin_Viata I noticed how quick you were moving from up on the viewing platform, my friend was in the black mustang and I was paying attention to how quick you were making up the distance between you. What tires are you running btw?

@@TheMitsuDude 265/285 Michelin PS4S…they did well for 3 hot laps but then started getting greasy, especially when pressure rose above 35psi. Plenty of audible feedback though! I was sent the wrong fronts for a set if track wheels otherwise I’d have been on 275/295 Conti ECFs.

@@Flyin_Viata I was on pilot sport as4 on Saturday, and they got a bit slidey, but with awd I was just checking it through corners having fun. Sunday ran pirelli p zero Nero gt, and I think it was so much grippier that it was starving the system of oil. So Baffled oil pan is coming soon.
