@@spareroomracing3168 got a good deal on it, that's all - the MXS is newer with more features, cost aside, that would probably be the one I'd go with

@@bsquaredmotorsports Thanks for that :) Are you leaving the OBD2 port plugged in at all times or just plug it in each time ? I was nervous it would drain the battery if left installed

@@spareroomracing3168 unplugging each time - I'm considering adding a switch between the power cables so it's just/off and 'T' off the OBD cables so I can have a scanner and the aim plugged in at the same time, but that's lower priority at them moment

@@Vivianauxito if you make headlights for racing application, we can certainly run a test during a night race/low light track day. Email us at info@b-squared.io if you want to make something happen!

@@carlozaappaa5427 the rears didn't have a caliper or rotor upgrade, just the pads - running the carbotech xp12 rear and the hawk er-1 pad normalizes the brake bias delta created when there is a change in the front rotor and piston count size. I have really consistent brake performance backed by data, which I will discuss in a future video

400 degrees is actually not too high, I feel like even some aggressive pads on stock setup can get up to 600-800. Just remember, the very first 1:19.7 to ever be set by a naturally aspirated FR-S on a Tomei EL and simple OFT tune was running OEM calipers with just Project Mu Club Racer pads. I personally didn't even think about a brake upgrade until I went with a super charger.

BABY PLEASSEEEEE, WOULD YOU END YOUR NIGHT WITH MEEEE

Absolutely going to do an ER-1 review - so far, so good, they're exactly as JRP told me they were - medium bite, good modulation, and a solid long lasting endurance pad, ER-1 Review in upcoming videos. I have data showing peak 1.45G braking and consistent brake application lap over lap from Aim data. I personally recommend them.

bruh LOOOL

me n the shorty I pulled by being a silly little guy

THE URGE TO FLICK A CIGARETTE AND TELL SHORTY 'BEAT IT, TOOTS' WHILE LISTENING TO LA NOIRE SAX ON REPEAT

At the moment Carbotech XP12!

Can you let me know if you think it’s possible to replace the nut inside the alternator?

@@Kevin-gq2kj im not sure if its possible to replace the nut inside cause its enclosed by the alternator casting, however maybe trying to re-thread the nut with a tap could work, as that's what was done to my car

@@bsquaredmotorsports yea I think I’m going to do that. I just took the alternator off. Would you happen to know if the nut inside there is supposed to wiggle? Not sure if that’s normal or did I mess mine up?

@@Kevin-gq2kj yeah it's normal for the nut inside to wiggle and be loose in the casing

Receive the pin of shame... what human is not allowed to make a mistake?

Dude are you that perfect? Do you not commit mistakes? It's part of the process dude

@@bsquaredmotorsports I've: -Double gasketed an oil filter and gave my neighbour's lawn a fresh coat of oil spray -Drove around the block with finger tight lug nuts -Double centering ringed my wheel (where did my RF ring go???) because one was stuck to the wheel and didn't notice... and went to THE TRACK. Couldn't figure out why my car was veering to one side during braking If you haven't made mistakes working on cars, you either haven't worked on them long enough, or too cowardly to admit them 😊.

@@GibbysGarage15 thats some real shit, glad youre human and I miss seeing you out there brother

Shrek is love, Shrek is life - thanks for tuning in!

its an honor to receive this 🫡🫡🫡🫡

I should add I have an entire suite of suspension upgrades planned and I'm doing most of it myself. I plan on it taking 3-4 weekends (because I should be able to do it in 1-2 weekends). And I'm not even going to bother doing the coilovers. I feel like there's too much room for me to mess that up so I'll take it in somewhere.

And I bet you, like me, gained a ton more confidence with pushing the car hard because you know the system much more intimately, and you are more likely to understand and diagnose issues since you put it together with your hands

@@stevenshizzle knowing when to stop is also wise - when I had my 2010 A3, I was cool with doing coilovers on it, but not cool with addressing the rear main seal, or clutch

@@bsquaredmotorsports who knows I may get brave and try it. What’s the worst that can happen?

On lapping days, high power cars that are being passed are instructed to tap the brakes or lift when allowing a passing car ahead, so the Corvette wouldn't have pressed the brakes unless the FRS earned it

Might not hurt for sure. Otherwise you get a feedback mechanism of warmer air in, then warmer air compressed, then hotter supercharger, so on and so forth.

yeah I do plan on making a box for it - the backside of the intake filter was hot and the front was cold, just from idling, proving that non-contact radiant heat does contribute to IAT's at some capacity - so intake box and heat-reflective tape will be going on in addition to a vented hood

Had to do it to em, how else am I gonna get someone to click haha

with the next video, you will see that luck returned to my side with a successful continuation of the build, looking forward to sharing!

tried to punch it out, but its was touch and I didnt want to damage the alternator casting - my teammate ended up welding to the stuck stud and rotated it out, and then chased the threads - PHEW!

I will not disregard your comment, thank you for making the time to consider some helpful advice to our small channel! You're right, maybe I'll spread the release times more, which could give me more time to edit with better quality and therefore better pay off and also more time to film other content in-between. I really appreciate your comment, as you can see we're not filmmakers, we just love racing and know how to press record on a camera - all else after that is a constant work in progress.

not discouraged, all part of learning and part of the process

the original FA20 on this car had 227k kms, with over 60+ full track days and a hand ful of autocross events before it popped! failure mode: an aftermarket part that failed in the engine, will discuss on a later video!

unfortunately not, I'm in the Toronto area and am only in town during endurance race weekends - I am an official coach with the track, having completed their Motorsport Safety Foundation Level II course and am on their roster of coaches, but I can only come out a couple times a year

I have one, but also I never ran one for 4 years of time attack, so your mileage may vary.
