rosscarlson Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Hiya guys, this past Saturday I went out for the Flatiron Tuning track day at HPR. I was the only Legacy, there was an Outback (mweiner2) and a guy in a modded Forrester. Pretty much everything else was WRX or STi's, many with 300-400whp (some over 500). I'm posting this video for a few reasons, they are: I'm a track rat and it's fun to create itTo show that having a fast car means NOTHING if you can't drive it (people are fast, cars CAN be fast)To be fast you need more than just powerAnd to that point tuning the nut behind the wheel is much more important than just about anything else. So here ya go, enjoy: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB6fGzoTaqo]YouTube- HPR Hightlights[/ame] (remember I did this to be very tongue-in-cheek) EDIT: Here are my current mods - K-Sport coilovers (fully corner balanced) - Wilwood 4 pot front calipers - Performance Friction racing pads - DBA4000 slotted rotors - Stainless lines, slotted rear rotors, Motul fluid - Light rims (18lbs) - Kuhmo Ecsta 225/45/17 (which I HATE - 4-5 seconds a lap slower than the Potenza RE-01R) - Whiteline Front/Rear sways - Perrin Endlinks / AVO rear bracket - Borla CBE - Crucial Racing downpipe - Cobb short throw / Cobb bushings - Dyno tune by Boostcreep (210whp/275wtq) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iahtnoob Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 great video, less music more sounds of the cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosscarlson Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 Yeah, I wish iahtnoob - I had the rubber guards out of the camera casings so the audio was completely worthless, totally clipping out so I did the music this time around. Still need to figure out the sound because I couldn't agree more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pillboy Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I saw no Weiner. It is still ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosscarlson Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 Weiner wasn't in my run group, not sure but I think he was in the medium group (they had mellow, medium, aggressive). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squiden Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Awesome video! Where exactly did you mount the camera on your car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTGT Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 That looks really fun. What mods on your car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosscarlson Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 Squid - I put it inside the front bumper, in the middle area where the radiator grill is. Having it way down low like that really conveys the speed much better. Sadly its so loud that it destroys the sound. As for my mods I'll update my first post with it.
