      He never did a sponsored video to get paid by the company because they contacted him, he always contacted himself the company that makes the part that suits his needs.
      Nothing has changed, he made a video about paco arms because he needed them and they're a great product, great quality and not too expensive, and ya know if you need something, have trust in the product, and the company is willing to offer it to you, and give a discount for the subs, why wouldn't you ???

    Dear Greg
    Please consider to produce an episode where you embrace Auto-Blip due to an Cable-2-DBW-Converter (as found in Peugeot 2.0hdi (306,406 Expert etc) 90 - 04) and taking care of business with brake- and clutch-switch, gearbox- and diff-ratio and the actual speed, all by mastering your MS (no, not Mara Salvatrucha!).
    In my (very own) opinion a car without ABS is much smoother to control at it's limits without fancy square-dance footwork (or I might have got two left feet, who knows) and the technical aspect of such an operation would be challenging and quite interesting for the most of us.
    Go for it!

  • @mateow9650
    @mateow9650 5 років тому

    Love the video's, I don't mean to be THAT GUY, but here goes. Optimum rear camber for a Miata rear is 1 degree, with the driver in the car. It is good for road and track days.

    • @TheCarPassionChannel
      @TheCarPassionChannel  5 років тому

      Thanks man, 1° is pretty conservative, but will definitely work fine on a dual duty car. Check out 949 Racing's alignment page, they have various setups posted that have all been tested and tried on their race and street cars. Optimal camber also depends on tire compound and various other setup-specific factors 🙂

  • @jaimegrant784
    @jaimegrant784 3 роки тому

    You can probably get better traction by using proper sized rims for your tires. I'm pretty sure stretching them like that affects how they hook up. The sidewalls should be pretty much straight up and down.

  • @AdamShelton61
    @AdamShelton61 5 років тому

    Awesome video Greg, I wonder how this translates to track use when loading up the rear tyres exiting corners with side-load. I have a track miata myself and I've been wondering what a good setup would be here for high power applications, and whether the stock natural camber (lowered/not slammed) is anywhere near ideal for this. Could be a topic to cover for you/something to play with if/when you track the car next. Could also do one on tyre pressures and getting the tyres to deform more for traction/how this affects heat and sidewall temp etc... pros/cons... As I've said before love this channel and always look forward to new content.

    • @TheCarPassionChannel
      @TheCarPassionChannel  5 років тому +1

      That's where temperature measurement and sidewall rollover measurement (shoe polish over the sidewall) really help. Both with setting up your camber and tire pressure!

    3rd gear being mystery gear could partially (mostly?) just be your tire temps. RS4's really need to be warmed up before they start sticking... although my experience is in corners at the track, I don't have enough power to stress a 245 RS4 at any temp under acceleration...

    • @TheCarPassionChannel
      @TheCarPassionChannel  5 років тому

      When they're cold they spin much easier. I'm mostly referring to when they're at full temperature, it's like a 50/50 shot if they'll hook. If the air is cold they spin easier for sure from dat boost

    • @TheCarPassionChannel

      I've probably got 10,000 miles on them by now, and I haven't had one of the nuts come loose once. So far so good! (It's always a good idea to check adjustment nuts like that as part of routine maintenance, like every oil change)

    Hey Greg, great video! Just a quick question, do you think a VLSD could hold a mild turbo setup? Cheers from Sweden!

    • @TheCarPassionChannel
      @TheCarPassionChannel  5 років тому +1

      The LSD type doesn't matter so much as if it's a 6 or 7" ring. In the US the 90-93 1.6 diff is pretty weak and they can break at 180-200hp, sometimes people get lucky up to 250+. The 1.8 diffs are way stronger, currently running one in my car now. Open vs Torsen vs VLSD is just a performance thing, not strength 🙂
