    Sounds like the infamous ice mode kicking in. When I had my 2016 BRZ and had a race instructor on board who did the Continental series. we both had it trigger on midcorner trail braking ( I asked him for braking tips ). it always happened mid corner if any trail braking was applied (power cut timing even with gas pedal to floor)

    02:45 Yes and no, some had it some did not, i had a 1989 NA (one of the first ones and that did not have ABS). NB same story some do some do not. From NC forward ABS & TCS is standard :) Great video love your driving.

    • @dadhats
      @dadhats  Рік тому +1

      gotcha! I figured that was the case and assumed that's why he was braking conservatively in t1.
      thanks for the quick answer and for watching!

      My NB has no ABS. I also ease into hard stops on and off track. I found out one day just checking out my stopping distance. Went tail happy. Adjusted the bias and now the fishtail mostly gone. Still stuck in my brain tho lol

  • @Slowcarfastbeans

    That miata probably only uses the brakes thrice per lap - T1, T5 and T8, and flat out otherwise with maybe a lift in a couple spots.

    No abs for most , if its full racecar, it wont have abs even if it came with it. His early braking could just be not being used to no ABS cause i usually can get in on the brakes pretty hard with no lock up

    Good vid, I know you were keen on the comparison with the Miata (MX5 here in Australia) but is that a black 2022 BRZ/GR86 @ 0:29 (Can't make out the badge)? If so, I thought you may have been keen to have a run with them and compare your modified Gen 1 vs the Gen 2?

    @alexslazer8627 Рік тому

    Trying to learn so this is just a thought. It looks like you might benefit from going slower into some of those corners that the Miata’s can just rail, so that you can pick up more exit speed with that extra hp. Again I’m learning but lmk what you think

    • @dadhats
      @dadhats  Рік тому

      could be the case. in general I have a habit of prioritizing minimum speed over exit speed.
      at this track I was mostly just learning since it was my first time out there. I'd say I was a good second/second and half off pace what I could do with more practice

  • @hawker800mech
    @hawker800mech Рік тому

    I’d be surprised if it was truly 120 hp. It may be more like around 140 hp or so if it’s a 1.8. I have a 2001 with ITBs and it’s around that power. Mine is a Base model and did not come with ABS.

    • @perplexed2352
      @perplexed2352 3 місяці тому

      Depends on year but it would be considerably less than 140 (even if measuring to crank not wheel) the averages depending on what year it is to the wheel rarely get to 105hp for late model 1.8's with engines in immaculate condition that haven't lost much power to age as most 30yo engines do, but a rough average to the wheel (taken from many different dyno measurements off of forums and the people at flyin miata) looks like;
      1.6 - 89-93hp
      1.8 - 95-101
      The nb's 1999+ got a respectable boost in power they tend to start closer to 110-115hp to the wheel for the 1.8's
      Even with intake and exhaust mods it's at best prolly 100-105, a good flowing exhaust more or less will correct the hp loss due to aging rather than actually increasing hp, nice noticeable boost in the torque curve same with a good intake
