Driver72 Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 While "making" my buddies S4 video (which I'll show you all when he's done) he quickly shot a few shots of me driving through a couple canyons. It's hard to tell, but on the open canyon roads, (which we drove in both directions a couple times first to make sure there are NO cars coming...and had a look out at the end we were heading to call us if a car was coming) I was doing 80-90 mph most of the time. Got a couple small 4 wheel drifts in...very nice. In the shot of me coming down the hill, with the other cars, I was going much slower (probably 55-60 in the 45 mph zone). I saw the cars from a long way away, so I didn't run hard...plus that was right at a freeway on ramp where we stopped to mount the video gear to Kurt's S4 when he said, just go up the hil and come down, I'll shoot a quick shot of you first. We are going to shoot more this Saturday, once the completed version is done I'll post it. P.S. He knows he logged the link with the typo on Subaru too. You'll need QuickTime player to view (I think). Free download at apple.com if needed. http://kurtjones.com/Car%2DImages/Subary%20Legacy%20GT%20piece.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driver72 Posted April 5, 2005 Author Share Posted April 5, 2005 I had to download quicktime myself just to see it. But I-tunes wasn't necessary, I don't think. Here: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/ Just click on the top link on the right under "Quicktime Products" Takes only a few seconds. You'll have to reboot your computer too.

LandShark Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 watched it. not a bad start. suggest much more "outside the car" footage and less panning inside the car. i know this is the raw footage....just my $.02 worth of arm-chair directing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driver72 Posted April 6, 2005 Author Share Posted April 6, 2005 Thanks guys. Again, this was shot in about 10 minutes time. I was just "tagging" along when he told me to go run up the hill and come back at a "decent clip" then he quickly walked around the car with the video camera and hopped inside and said, "let's do a run up and then back down the canyon a mile or two. Ian, with your stock RE92's you'd been in the ditch with how fast I was going! My Pirelli P Zero Nero's were biting like a pit bull, but I still got a couple of slight 4 wheel drifts in the 35ish mph corners I was taking at ohh 60ish I don't think those made it in the video, more than likely because Kurt couldn't hold the camera straight as the G's were pulling him to one side or the next. Plus, I worry about our crappy stock brakes fading too much too. Kurt has complete inside and outside car mounts so you can put the camera anywhere. I'm sure you'll all like what we shoot this weekend. His car stuff will look probably even better, since he's got A LOT of footage of his S4 doing different runs.

Gohmer1 Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 That is beeeautiful. Wheel/suspension specs please...and please post a profile shot of the car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driver72 Posted April 6, 2005 Author Share Posted April 6, 2005 Wheels are Enkei RPM2's 18x7.5 inch in Hyperblack. They are near perfect. Polished lip would make them perfect, but you can't have it all. They are 18.9 pounds each. Or about .8 pounds less than stock. Tires are Pirelli P Zero Nero M&S 215/40/18 Many go with 225/40/18's but the 215's are as close to stock size as you can get. The 225's are too tall and raise you final drive too much...throwing off your speedo and slowing acceleration. http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5652&highlight=photos go to the 7th thread down for some photos. But know...the wheels look better in person. For some reason they don't photograph very well and look a bit dark. As for suspension...completely stock. Doesn't handle as well as the Audi S4 stock for stock, that's for sure...as my buddy would pull away a bit from me in the twisties, and if I pushed my car any harder I'd of been in a ditch as I said, I was getting some decent understeer going into the corners, and a bit of drifting if I powered too hard out of the corners. Plus the S4's brakes are WAY better than ours, so he could go into the corners faster and brake later than I could comfortably do in the LGT. All I'd need is STI "pinks" and probably a sway bar, and better brake pads and I'd be able to stick to his arse in the twisties easy. But I prefer the ride as it is now. I don't track the car and trust me, I was close enough to my buddy in his S4 on that couple mile run that any S4 driver would be impressed that a car costing $20K less was keeping that close.
