Yes I know it isn't a 3rd gen, but I promise it will be in a 3rd gen at the next event.

PIR Solo Video's I have 4, it takes me a little bit to get them edited so will add them here as I finish them.

Run 1 Missed a cone during second slalom. Forgot to turn on my helmet cam.

Skyler, not sure if it is just the crappy camera sound, but it sounded like you at places could have pushed harder, I heard very little if any tire squelch during most of the run, but on the two sharp hair-pins, it sounded like you were a little heavy on the throttle getting out, and spinning up the tires. An in car view would help, but it might be a matter of a slight change of line and late apex the sharp corners and get the car straightened out more to get on it hard, or roll your speed longer and pick up the throttle a little more progressively.

Car looks good with the black wheels though.

I might have to get my rear axle sorted out and try to make an event sometime this summer. Although I am not a fan of shagging cones! But, it would be good to get the old girl dancing again.

The video may be a little deceiving, but these tires are very quiet. There was, in fact, almost no point during my runs where the tires weren't fighting for grip. Coming around the hairpin I was fighting understeer every time. That was the only place that I spun the tires coming out of the corner. I wish our factory posi's were better. There was no point in the runs where I was full throttle either, I've made that mistake before. I was trying to be as smooth as possible when getting on the throttle. But all very valid points. I've been working on trying to frontside the cones a little more often. Most of the course set ups at PIR are very tight.

Don't forget that I have an extra rear diff. there is visual wear on the ring gear but it never made any noise when I was running it. It's yours if you want it. If anything, you should throw it under the car just if it means that you can get to drive it while you find a more suitable rear end.

I just need to get out and fix mine. It howls (thought it was the trans, but its rear end). I really just need to pick a time to pull it out and press new bearings on. I am pretty sure that is all it will need.

I also got some videos up from that event. There is also old stuff on my channel, if you want to laugh at my old pitiful tires...

Just to note, I still had the 3.08's and a dead factory posi in these videos. Looking forward to seeing what the torsen does at the next event.
