NEW PERSON BEST LAP TIME! 1.09.56

Awesome time @ MOE HPDE @ Lightning Course yesterday.

PDR was not recognizing start finish line but I use AIM DL FOR that data anyway. Will post that up later.

So here is vid of my buddy Moe in his ASA car.
At the end of the day I found out that all day I was driving with loose BMR tie rod inner board loose bolt! I could literally move the wheel! Gotta put a socket and or wrench on all bolts from now on!

Nope, but I must say that the DBA rotors seem to give me more consistent braking. Maybe the combination of that and the Racing Brake pistons!

Trackclub I did new personal best with loose right rear loose tie rod end! Wheel moved like it was going to fall off! LOL
Kurt drove and said car desperately needs stiffer sway bars. After watching buddies vid of me chasing him down the car sways BAD!

Any brand of swa bars that one might wanna recommend??

PM Ryephile. He did sways on his car when he switched to G3Rs and should be able to lend you good advice anyway as he knows his stuff (IMO).

Congrats on your new PB. I also replied to your PM.

Also regarding your loose fasteners, start getting in the habit of paint-marking fasteners after you torque [or TTY if applicable]. This helps spot problems with a quick visual inspection. If they keep loosening, consider thread-locker or nord locks.
