Moderators BarManBean Posted January 15, 2016 Moderators Share Posted January 15, 2016 Here is a short video from last summer. I'm not a racer, but that looks really smooth and you are hauling ass. What EWG are you running? Is it full external or plumbed to the downpipe? Is it annoying to drive around town?

Due to the EBCS it causes a fluttering sounds, which makes the car sound a bit strange under full acceleration. It only gets loud when the EWG kicks in. So just cruising around town I'll only be a full boost for a few seconds at a time, so its fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldskoolbiker Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 146 MPH in an Outback Yeah that video I posted I only got 141. But I did hit 146 in one of the morning sessions when it was cooler and a braked at the last possible moment. A bit scary so I pulled it back a bit after that, but it wasn't my best lap as I hit traffic. EDIT: I found the video with the 146MPH. Much better video than the other I posted. It's a video with like 3 laps, and I pass a bunch of cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhitter Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 After lapping, do you get everyone coming up to you wondering what the hell you did to your station wagon? You are flying. My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightmaresmk Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 They don't care when you pull in but after you get on it and open the hood it's a different story. Every time at the local car meets for me too. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxkita Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I remember those days...driving a "stock" wagon on track. I like the stealth look too. Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjxbrd Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I think a nice seat will make this build perfect. I follow you on youtube, in your videos you seem to brace and prepare yourself before each corner. I do exactly the same when I go to track days. I recently put a Recaro SR-1 in my LGT, and it has changed the driving experience. It feels like the suspension has become sharper. The more grippy seat takes out that slide and delay of transferring the car's movement into the body, it is also more comfortable than the stock seat.

boxkita Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 If you get a seat, get the schroth 4 point harness that ties into the stock belt locations. At about 1.25g or so, you start coming out of the seat no matter how much bracing you do. The harness will do more than the seat actually.

boxkita Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Gopro video ? What's the phone app you are running mounted on the windshield? Using a ODB app (bluetooth or wifi) ? RaceRender2 ? I see several more seconds to be gained per lap even with stock seating. :-) Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldskoolbiker Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 Right now I just have the App TrackMaster, so the speed is from GPS. The Video is from GoPro. I am using RaceRender 2 to put the video and data together. However, I realized that my Accessport datalog can also be used by RaceRender. So next time I got out I'll use that to capture additional data from ODBII. I know I can be faster. The tires were pretty much toast when that video was made. At the end of that day they were corded. Also driving skill is always improving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I used to use tactrix data logs with my go pro. I had a log reset when the defrost button was pushed. At that was in frame, when the light went off, I had a visible sync point for video & data. Adjusting with RaceRender was trivial at that point. Using RPM instead speed will be more helpful, too. Assuming you are making max power between 5k & 7k ? The acceleration when you dropped below 5 was pretty slow. You can fix RR to show a box/telltale when you hit max numbers like G & mph.

oldskoolbiker Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 So I've decided it's time to get something new. Engine is getting a fresh rebuild and then it will be up for sale. If at all interested in it send me a message. Once I get the car back and detailed up I'll post up a for sale thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
