Are the upgrades to the valve train needed if I’m only doing two or three track days a year? Thought the ls6 was pretty solid other than the oiling.

I did this but unfortunately my roll bar was rubbing on my driveshaft on one side, does this indicate a bent/ worn roll bar

Hey man would you recommend this for just a weekend cruiser? I did the asc delta but I’m hating all the lights lol 😂

This is exactly what I needed, thank you for posting this! I’m going tomorrow cant wait to see what I can do with my GR Corolla! First time ever on track

do u bleed the brakes after u installed back the ABS pump?

Nice vid! 04 Z06 here. I have done a whole Sparco seat/harness setup, upgraded KNS cryotreated rotors and Hawk pads, steel braided lines and racing fluid, urethane sway mounts, spec endlinks, sticky Conti's and coilovers. I kept the stock wheels and the stock tire sizes and I tell ya what, this car can just go! Only one track day but just having upgraded seats alone makes these cars 100% better to run. I recall screaming (in bliss) in a long sweeper as I accelerated and all I was doing was turning the steering wheel. Before, when playing on the streets, I would just hit corners hard and I could barely keep myself in the seat. World of difference. Any way, great vid and filming!

Once you do bikes long enough, getting back in a car is ridiculous easy and you're technique is completely different than before bikes. Nice heel-toe @ 2:35

What mods?

This right here, this is my dream car. Thanks for the detailed video, did you address the oil starvation issue with the C5 ?

Here's a question. How do you know that the link which is left connected isn't preloaded before adjusting the one on the other side?

im still having the worst time removing them from my e36

Just perfect. And how I drive. To not ever break into a curve and accelerate in with the curve. I would so love to line up some practice lessons. And I am so very near to you all. I was just tooling around back in my teens when it was called Sears Point. And by and was blown away that I was chosen to be among the first women to NASCAR. And was due to the Pit Stop folks. Johnny Urban (RIP) was a friend since were children. We'd build Mine Bikes Go Carts and all of that fun. I don't have a fear of Driving. I have a fear of being burned and living. And I love working and playing with Children, Youths and their folks. Racing Cars and being with horses are the TOP 2 to provide their self confidence. Thank you so much that wad fun!

I have an E53 X5 and this is exactly what I needed. All makes sense now. The bolt is out now after about five minutes of tapping.

is there another horizontal tube under the pedals?

Those are pretty quick lap times for your braking points and modifications, have you updated anything since the 2 year old video?

First thing I did was seats and stainless braided lines.

Is it safe to put all four wheels on wood planks so the entire car is level when adjusting all the sway links?

What track were you at?

Nice build man, it's always good to be able to fabricate things you want or need, ive been thinking about building my own sim rig also using square tubing.

Nice helpful video, what year is your panamera?

Tremendous car, has it all.

Sonoma, famously known as "Infineon Raceway" in Need For Speed

Cool

Nice!

If you had a bit explaining how to determine what chip for the ecu and what size injections you’d have hit the mark

I'd put a piece of ply wood under pc.. not goo to have it on carpet... venting, dust, ect.

Ice mode sucks. Luckily I've never encountered it. I think the only fix for it is the BMW ABS controller swap. The only documented fast lap I have there is a 1:53.7 in a 260whp 4th Gen Camaro on Toyo Proxes RR 275/40/17. Those tires, size for size, should be within 2 seconds of your tires. I don't say that to thump my chest as I left plenty of time out there. I say that to indicate that I think you're leaving time all over the track. The first thing that struck me was your (seemingly) early brake application into T1. If I lived closer and knew the track better I could offer more pointers, but like I said I left a bunch of time out there. Such a ridiculously fun track though!

C5's are so onsanely cheap right now.... even sub 10k for one in decent condition.

You started and drove it a hot condition, not from cold.

Hi Ben - I've been looking at picking up a C5 Z06 and quite inspired by this build so far. Question - what are your thoughts on replacing control arm bushings and hubs? Seems like its a non-negotiable for the Spec Corvette guys but unsure if I would need on just a weekend/HPDE car assuming they are in decent shape to begin with.

Want see thunder hill race track, laguna seca, and more footage video your braking and acceleration, thanks you

Nice job, what lap timer app are you using? Thank

Nice smooth driving! My son just got a Green Envy '14 Fiesta ST a few months back. The car is a riot to drive! We took it out for a mountain run some weeks back and it impressed both of us. We definitely need to take it to Road Atlanta or Atlanta Motorsports park one of these days.

Looking at all sorts of options for the next project and SpecCorvette looks fun. Do you still have the SE30 for sale? I dropped you a message on IG if so.

Hey Ben - I tried to pull the specs from your build vid and the drive doc is dead... any chance to get a re-up of them?

Have you tried to hold down traction control for a few seconds? Usually it turns off VSC which helps turn off all that assisted braking and more. I don't own a corvette so I'm not sure if it's a function you have but hey doesn't hurt to try.

I wanted to hear that dual Weber (or Dellorto) induction noise as today's Caterhams have all that quieted down roller barrel nonsense, BUT those straight cut gears make so much noise..... they are straight cut aren't they?

so cool! dream car

So how much slower is it without the bypass? I was at TH a couple of weeks ago with PCA, and for the TT they had us observe track limits at T12... Thanks for sharing the laps and thoughts.

after a long search through youtube I finally found the perfect video. I’ve read through forums but im more of a visual learner. Reading tons and tons of instructions just confuses me more than it helps 😂

Works great and like your taste in music. Much appreciated!

I don't get the hate for these

where did you find the oil pan without the return of the abs pipes? Thank you

To stop sliding in the stock seat: From your desired position Move the seat back Pull the belt all the way out Let it click back in it shouldn't pull back out Move the seat forward again

After doing that on the blocks, could you jack it back up and put it on Jack stands to torque everything to spec or must you torque it to spec when lowered on the wheels?

Hey, not sure what the ICE mode is but I think its the same thing mine has and i just unplugged the thing under the dash by the break peddle

Will this work on 1997 318ti?

Awesome!

yep, thanks for posting this.
