I have a Logitech G29 racing wheel and pedals. Using my desk chair at the moment. I don't have a shifter yet so I use the paddles. I'm left foot braking and don't use the clutch (yet). If you use the clutch in this game you must rev match or suffer the wrath of snap oversteer when you get it...
My best finish so far at Limerock. The graphics in-game are way better than this compressed screen grab. Getting the line right over those old patches is tough. If you fall out of the groove you really lose momentum.
As you guys know, I spent a ton of time online racing with Gran Turismo. That scene is dying out with the delay of the new game and players defecting to other games. So I finally broke down and bought a subscription to iRacing. It's the online racing simulator (don't call it a game) that tons...
I struggle to get much over 19 with my V6. As far as towing goes, I get maybe 14 cruising at 65-70 up to the mountains. The sad part? We took my wife's '15 Jeep Wrangler the last time and it it got 18mpg. The Jeep is a stick shift and I could plop it in 5th and set the cruise control.
I...
Hot rodding brand new full size SUVs? That's what we're focusing energy on these days? I suppose it's a head start when/if this motor gets put into something smaller in the Mazda lineup, but who cares about an extra 40hp in a behemoth like this? I putt around in my '13 CX9 and could care less...
My sister evacuated from Key West to where my parents are in Naples. Then when the trajectory changed they all went to Orlando. They just got back to Naples and damage doesn't look too bad. No flooding in their neighborhood. No idea when my sister will be able to return to Key West.
I used Harry's Lap Timer app for the iPhone. I think there is an Android version too. It took some fiddling to load the go-pro video onto the phone but after that, the app did the rest. They have add-ons like connecting to your OBDII (which I don't have) or using external sensors and...
Sounds like a great new gig Josh. Car is looking great. I saw one at track night, same color, not nearly as clean.
I'm getting savvy with my videos. If you like living vicariously, or just want to see the abuse I've been dishing out to these tires give it a watch...or at least skip to the...
I bled the brakes beforehand and used DOT4. I think I should get new rotors, these are the originals and the vents are probably clogged with rust. Might go with slotted. I should also work on the venting. Mazda added ducts to the lower valance for 84/85 which are supposed to blast cool air...
That's cool. Next time you're near Boston you should join me for a track night.
After I smoked the stock pads I put on some Hawk HP+ and they work great, well as great as the tiny brakes on this car are going to work. I get some squeal driving around town but it goes away after some light...
