    Can we just appreciate the growth in the channel and business side. I feel like it was yesterday jimmy couldn’t afford anything and was making q and a’s saying he wasn’t sure is UA-cam would work out in the long run. Now he has built a great team around him and is building some my favorite cars on the platform. Props to the Oakes garage team for the hard work, we see you for that.

  • @PerfectBalance
    @PerfectBalance 3 місяці тому +7

    Looking at those corner weights, you have a 47.28/52.72 cross weight balance on Nissonda. The front left and right rear are carrying most of the weight. Would be a cool experiment to corner balance the car and see if you can tell any changes to how it drifts. I believe lowering either front left/right rear will take some of the weight off those corners or raising the front right/left rear to take more of the weight. Shouldn't change the ride height much since the suspension should just compress more since it's carrying more of the weight.
    One of those things that I've always known about but don't have any experience to know if it has any effect on how it feels in drift.

Aas they say in Japan but maybe convince Dj to get a Centrifugal Supercharger for his Honda so it'd be more even and we can hear both great nosies and as always keep up the great work guys 👍

    Crazy what’s happened to s15 prices. In 2016 I almost got one for 16k AUD in mint condition. Then I ended up with a Hawkeye WRX for 13k 😂 I made money on that but still. Seeing R33’s, Supras which weren’t popular here in the early days turn into these sought after cars is nuts. It used to be 32’s and S14’s that everyone drooled over back when I got my license in 2010.
