I don't get any spam comments really and when I do, I just delete them.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, just watched your video blog. Nice driving mate. Very smooth. You can definitely be more aggressive I think. I think I'd be throwing the car around a lot more in the slower stuff trying to get rotated faster with slight over steer. Idea being to blast out the corners earlier by rotating the car quicker for an earlier apex.<BR/><BR/>I would really love to see some lateral-G and accel/braking-G graphs also to see how you are braking. I think you can learn a lot from those graphs.<BR/><BR/>I like the cross-G meter though. That's a nice touch. Maybe you could have another camera directly under the cross pointing upwards. This would let us see your natural friction circle as when braking the cross goes forward etc. LOL.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the great work. Great to see you back at speed and blogging about it again!Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03982000132277245155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7017540370601965455.post-58482777494167208102008-10-02T01:48:00.000+10:002008-10-02T01:48:00.000+10:00Jonathan,The prob is braking too late is you wash ...Jonathan,<BR/><BR/>The prob is braking too late is you wash off all the speed going into corner. Stand on the brake before ABS comes in and release it just before going into corner. I think it is the key to get the most out of the brakes. Easy to say then done!TAKAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16033656570397729313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7017540370601965455.post-9781043306509722072008-10-02T00:55:00.000+10:002008-10-02T00:55:00.000+10:00Nice blog Taka, I can't believe how late you can b...Nice blog Taka, I can't believe how late you can brake on the main straight at Winton!<BR/><BR/>Jonathan (TAAXED)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17561881796938079425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7017540370601965455.post-24292848105257483782008-09-25T23:18:00.000+10:002008-09-25T23:18:00.000+10:00Hey the only concern of the oil catcher function i...Hey the only concern of the oil catcher function is that it is an awfully long tube that actually lift up before going to the tank.<BR/><BR/>I think my Physics book said it is not as good as something like this<BR/><BR/>http://www.promaz.com.au/images/parts/rx8_catch_02.jpg<BR/><BR/>http://www.promaz.com.au/images/parts/rx8_catch_01.jpg<BR/><BR/>Locally made (Aussie) but more dearer.
