fyi gridlife hpde+ rwd class - this car doesn't have much done to it.
86 Jiyuan Ding - Honda S2000 - (1:11.763 / 2:45.467 / 1:36.058)
times are north/full/south - dude is good
I know this dude, he's cool AF I follow him on YT BUT he is why I was 3rd at WMHM
His car is more... Track focused? I think he runs aero too, at least for his fast times at Gingerman he did. When I ran my 2:55 it was literally first time AB full and my 2nd time ever being there, I can easily make up 5sec. 2:45's on the other hand, IDK....

rules in this you can't do a whole lot - no aero (unless oem part)

dude's got skillzzzzz
I figured out what happened. So when I went to track mode, you push the button twice to get the 5 levels of nannies. Once you move dial to the desired level you leave it alone. I was pushing button so I was basically running around in wet mode [emoji23]
Extra cautious nannies, maybe lap times could have been even better
You can see and hear where the nannies were keeping me from getting back on the gas. Looking at the lap with sound, take in consideration of the time lost behind the Porsche and I'd say that easily would have been a 2.47 maybe even a high 2.46 lap. 2 more track days at autobahn this year want to try and get in the 2.42-3 range. Anything faster would be a bonus [emoji106]
I ordered new springs for my suspension to handle the extra grip of the RE-71's or pretty much all of the new 200tw tires that are out. Should drastically decrease my laps times, my car was leaning HARD with the weak ass spring rates I have right now. It really made transitions super sketchy. Should be an epic rest of the season with the new stuff.
i think my noise is a left rear axle and am waiting on one to come in and hoping i can wrench it myself with some buds in the garage with my newb skills.
i had subaru look, i actually made the appointment and the issue started literally my last day of warranty. they looked the next day. they 'wanted to start with' a new diff, parts and labor 7k, no warranty not because late but because the car is modded. as if any of my mods would jack up a differential.
i'm reasonably confident replacing the left rear axle will fix the issue and plan to get my diagnostic $ back and bitch these guys out. the tech also concluded my diff has been opened, and it certainly never has.

I will be doing the laps inc autobahn days in sept/October. Might try to swing the august 19-20 gingerman days too.
Seeing it's 185 mile drive, I'll be verifying weather before booking but I'd like to do Saturday
We were going for Sunday since usually there's more track time with less people. It will also be a game time decision for us as well.
