MR2 - Nurburgring Nordschleife (5th lap 20190816)

- This lap could have been a quick one, despite early traffic, but the Audi A3 accident and the broken down car after Karrussel prevented me from being able to push hard. Still, some fun moments to be seen when I see a clear track and I'm able to attack the corners for a bit.
Those keen enough will notice this is the cabin sound, as I had messed up the main camera's mic right before and I had to use the interior sound, which is noticeable muted and toned down compared to the raw engine sound from the other clips. Hopefully this will be the last one with this setup.
Also, I hope you appreciate being able to see my footwork, Best Motoring style!
Better laps still to come!
Car specs:
Drivetrain:
Bone stock engine.
ZW30 gearbox and Torsen LSD. It has different ratios: taller final, hence why I don't need to shift into 5th, and a closer 1st and 2nd in comparison with the original gearbox.
Suspension:
RS*R Ti2000 springs
KYB Excel-g dampers
Whiteline rear sway bar
Poliurethane bushings
Tires:
F:195/50R15 Advan AD08RS (new compound to comply with the new EU efficiency ruling). 1.8bar
R:205/50R15 Advan AD08R. 2.3bar (raised the pressure on the rear slightly 0,2bar compared to the first day, to get a bit of rotation in some areas and worked very nicely)
Brakes:
Bone stock replacement parts (rotors, pads and DOT4 fluid). Not even braided brake lines. This setup had been ok at the track until arriving at the Nurburgring. In the previous tracks I've driven the car the speed was never this high, but here this cheap setup was really struggling and had to manage them every lap at the harder braking areas. I wish I had my Winmax pads, as I did on my 86.
Alignment:
F: 6deg caster, -1,6ish deg camber, 0.05ish toe in.
R: - 1,2ish deg camber, 0.15ish toe in.
Weight:
Measured 2500lbs/1100kg with me in it and a full tank. Subtract the weight of the spare wheel, jack and toolset which I've removed for the track.
Been following since the 86 days, you're an inspiration man, great driving!
Appreciate it! Hope you like this series of vids as well ✌🏻
Como siempre, un placer verte lanzar el coche por el Ring!!
He's at it again!
Setting of the mr2 seems crazy stable.
Well, it shows how good the driver is. 🤙
Haaha thanks! Not bad for the biggest so-called lift-off-oversteer-death-trap on all of the internets, right?
My most recent mod was actually a staggered set of tires: 195 fronts and 205 rears, to help with rear stability at high speeds.
You can still see in the faster turns even now it's quite lively!
@@YoShImUrA53Yeap. :)
Not even mentioning that staggered tyres make cars even cooler.
Internets are usually people who don't even have a driving license. Let alone driven a real car, not on ps4/xbox.
Great run, man! I can't wait until my mk1a is up and running..
Keep pushing. It'll all be worth it in the end!!
I appreciate the footwork camera A LOT! it's half the thing.
Question: how do you feel the rear sway bar affected the overall behavior? Tell me a bit about it if you don't mind please, it'll be good help
Glad you like it!
It was a great update once dialed in the rest of the package, but in isolation I wouldn't recommend it.
At first it created a lot of traction loss while accelerating with the rear inner tire.
Fortunately, fitting the ZW30's gearbox and Torsen LSD fixed that and allowed the rear to rotate more easily, making the rear more throttle-adjustable (not by a huge deal, but noticeable enough for me).
Then, at the track, the car had a lot of progression at breakaway, which lead to smooth but undesired rotation (oversteer) at high speed. It scrubbed off a lot of speed, and wasn't effective. Fun and, being smooth, "safe", but not quick.
Finally, after fitting the new staggered set of tires (195/205) I ended up with a tad of overall understeer at the Nurburgring (not the worst deal, considering the wheelbase to track width ratio and moment of polar inertia from this platform), which I was able to tone down just enough by raising rear tire pressures ever so slightly (0,2bar) from my baseline, which was F:2.1, R:2.3bar.
@@YoShImUrA53 I couldn't ask for more lol
Thank you for the feedback!
Well, that question was made having a zzw30 in mind that's not going to be tracked, so I'm guessing it'll probably work just well enough. Suspension is already mildly addressed and this was thought to reduce a little body roll at the rear when cornering, mostly lower speeds.
Staggered tires will be a must and I think it'll be ready to go.
Thanks for sharing man! This channel is Highly appreciated!
@@anunknowndude very recommended to fit a rear sway and expect to eventually get also a front one. It's also a great tool to easily dial-in the balance of the car, being adjustable on both ends. Worst case you can go back to stock and sell them for a small loss.
@@YoShImUrA53 nice, thanks a lot man!
Qué opinión te merece los kyb Excel-g después del uso que le has dado?
Yo los llevé los 4 en un Ibiza tdi 100cv (está claro que es un coche que nada tiene que ver con el tuyo) y no acabe nada contento. Aunque estaba claro en mi caso que simplemente los puse como recambio oem y por lo que pagué por ellos no puedo pedir más.
Un saludo y buen vídeo con la “foot cam” como añadido ésta vez👍
No tengo mucha más opción a montar otra cosa en este coche y de hecho ahora ya ni eso, que los han descatalogado... La verdad que para un uso normal de calle son muy aceptables. Pero para un uso exigente se quedan cortos, pero tampoco le puedes pedir más a lo que es algo de reemplazo de serie.
Personalmente creo que cumplen muy bien con su cometido en cuanto a la relación precio, prestaciones, comodidad y fiabilidad.
Y me gustan mil millones de veces más que los Koni Sport que traia el coche cuando lo compré. Con esos el coche era realmente peligroso en comparación, y no estaban en mal estado. Simplemente que eran una señora ponzoña. 😬
Brilliant driving, hope I can do the same with mine in the future. quick question though: why do you have a taller final drive and what is the benefit of that?
Thanks! Partly due to what I had available for a gearbox replacement at the time, when one of my half shafts decided to release itself and crack my original transmission's case. My only readily available option was the third gen MR2's (ZZ30 AKA MR-S) C56 unit. Also, due to the fact this is my main daily driver, and I do a ton of highway miles, I am really happy with the tall gear ratio, especially for 5th gear, where I can cruise at 75mph at barely 3300 rpm, rather than the previous 4200-ish rpm. But if I were to rebuild the ring and pinion, I would probably opt to also install a taller 5th that is also available from Toyota, and switch from the stock C56's 3.8 and go back to 4.3, as the other gears have made the car noticeably less "alive" when rolling through them.
👍🏻👍🏻
That TRD steering wheel and as usual, good driving!
BTW, what are your specs engine-wise on this mr2?
EDITED: Nevermind, just read the description!
Haha. That's why I posted thr specs.
Btw, the steering wheel is a TOM'S, not a TRD 😉
L'ae86 ne roule plus?
Waiting in the garage for a surprise crowdfund 😬✌🏻
@@YoShImUrA53 ok hâte de la revoir.
