The larger numbers on the left side are inches. The smaller numbers to the right of those are millimeters.

Oh i see what you mean , but still either way .007mm has to be a typo. .022 inches is where im at , and regardless it runs perfect. So i cant read feeler gauges correctly but i can say its been fun for some of us ?

Have you furnished us with proof of said .007mm in the service manual?

So my buddy Steve (2019 Corvette) shared the uncut raw video of our recent track day at Big Willow. Believe this video to be far superior to the previous one I shared. If like this kind of stuff, suggest viewing full screen and with volume up.



In this can see both the driver view as well as what is going on behind the car.

Which makes me look better, because after Steve blows by in his 650HP Corvette, can see me in the rear view, keeping within a reasonable distance the rest of the way.

Not bad for a car pushing 340-350HP or so. Driver mod improving slightly ;)

Steve makes a good save at the beginning when his tires were cold and the car almost got away from him. Mario's NSX goes off track with (2) wheels at the end of turn 2 and makes a good save, never missing a beat. Had a similar experience in the same spot last year, except I fishtailed a couple times after getting back on asphalt. :doh:

Our best times that session:

Steve - 2019 Corvette - 650 HP 1:33.9
Mario - 2017 Acura NSX - 700 HP 1:33.9
Me - 2018 CTR - 340-350 HP 1:34.5 (PB)
