Re: From China with Love

no worries. its pretty new to all of us anyways. they dont have a chip yet. but it runs fine. i think they reccomend a cold air or short ram. like i said, contact Gamman on the forums here for better info.

Re: From China with Love

Never knew that kind of stuff, that thing looks pretty legit, do I need to reprogram the ecu to use it?

No ECU programming at this time. I'm sure there will be a point in time where an ECU program will come out to give it a bit more power too but for now with the low boost it runs great!

Sorry Natty, I totally forgot to mention the pads. We had six track sessions at the school each session is 30min, we push harder as the sessions progress, the Hawk HP plus pads showed no signs of fading at all in the first four session, the pads began to slip a little at the end of the fifth session( needed to step to 80% of the pedal travel instead of 70%, the power recovered within 40min of cooling and the pads had no problems at all during the last session.
Oem pads felt fine for the rear brakes.
It's the NASCC racing school at Castrol Raceway in Edmonton, the course is pretty tight comparing to Race City.

Edit: the brake dust caked my wheels. And they squeak like Vitas on the streets.

Re: From China with Love

Near zero under setup, tire pressure improved by my instructor Kyle Ho.
Cool tire pressure LF 33psi, RF 35psi, LR 28PSI, RR 32PSI.
Toe in 0.5 degrees up front.
2.3cm wheel fender gap up front, 2.7cm wheel fender gap in rear.
Remove rear seats, spare wheel and tools etc.
Hawk HP plus front pads, OEM rears.(gripper rear should improve turn in slightly).

Re: From China with Love

Way too much wheelgap :P

Lol. But seriously why the funky tire pressure? Is it because the track is only/mostly left turns so you wanna keep the PF inflated more so it doesn't dip when you corner it hard and you want the rear left to grip a bit more? I never really even thought about tire pressure, let alone racing before so just curious

Yeah, it's because the track has 2 tight left turns and 1 banked turn. Marked the side wall with chalk to determine how much pressure we need.
33 wasn't enough on the right so we raised it to 35 and it's was pretty near perfect.
The left rear needed to grip more to help the car rotate around the left turns.

Edit: mechengg I didn't understand why 3 of my wheel caps broke off.

Re: From China with Love

Were they the OEM caps from your car? Or did you buy a set? Because there are a ton of sliiiightly different sizes out there, like 54mm, 55mm, 58mm that are all pretty close.
If they were the OEM ones then there is usually a metal retaining ring on the inside of the centercap that can get bent a bit when you remove the centercaps and sometimes needs to be pushes out to create constant tension on the spring when installed.
Those are my initial thoughts at least

They came with the car and look Oem, made in italy no metal clips. The big center caps I bought from ecstuning had metal clips though. I will just take them off next time when I drive on a track.

Edit: my jacking points got bent somehow how can I straighten it?
