Yea, I didn't realize I was getting so close. I hit a couple cones Saturday, which is a bit unusual, so I suppose I shoulda known. A few of those were really risky, they must have wiggled a bit as I passed by.

Okay, so I'm not crazy. At a local event yesterday I got a fair amount of one-wheel-peel, along with a couple moments of hard pedal (ice mode). We're on the same tires now, but I think I'm using less front bar than you (BMR bar on its softest setting). I might bump it up stiffer, but it turns in so well and never oversteers for me on the Falkens that I don't want to give up any front grip. Hmmm.

Now I realize without the tune the LSD's behavior varies from corner to corner in tight autox courses. I thought it was other factors, such as my poor driving... Unfortunately, the stock eLSD seems to be a liability for autox. As far as results, there's a '17 SS (non-1LE) in X-CAM-C running 18x12s and 335 square rivals, he's usually top 5 PAX. The car is ridiculously fast, it can keep up with some purpose built cars with nearly no mods. So if you go CAMC it's not like you won't be competitive anymore.

That’s on 95 lap tires and on a surface that is very low grip. Guess I will soldier on with this setup since I can’t get the tune😡 |

Coned away a top pax last Sunday ugh. Hit the 3rd cone on the last slalom before the finish. I hate watching videos of myself because I look like a wreck behind the wheel lol.
Any critique is welcome Here's the timing link http://live.axti.me/live/590a692714b...29d42017bed5cc

So...that same thing happened to some friends who were running a '18 1LE last week in One Lap of America. Went out for a track session in Memphis and the diff acted open the whole session. After the session they pulled the battery cable and then the car happily did a 2 wheel smoky burnout. Out of an abundance of caution, they changed diff fluid (even though it was fresh) and replaced the battery. They didn't have a problem with it the rest of the week.

A few months ago I got a warning on the dash, followed by a slow crank on a cold morning. The battery's voltage was low, it was about 50% discharged, but it took a charge and passed the dealer's test. Since then I bought a CTek battery charger and have been using it regularly, the battery loses charge and hence voltage over time for sure. At a certain point it's going to cause issues with the car's electronics and imo it could explain the rear diff issue. If the dealer doesn't replace the battery I'll probably just buy an Optima and charge it monthly with the CTek in hopes of it lasting longer.

These cars get really flaky when voltage is low. IMHO, the heat in Florida kills them pretty quick (i'm on my 3rd) and the car starts to exhibit random annoyances. I have a NOCO now that I will use on mine from time to time.

This was just a test and tune but this run made me happy. So ready for the next points event! |
