Re: 2014 Cadillac ATS Luxury 2.0T AWD - Mostmint #46
Few updates: 1) Differential 3.27 gear can buy a kit to replace the bearings and seals for as low as $70 can buy a new diff (Chinese I gather) for under $600 I found an ATS at local pull a part and it still has the diff in it. The car is wrecked in the front and the diff shows no sign of leaking. Th...

Re: 2014 Cadillac ATS Luxury 2.0T AWD
Hopefully I'll have it in racing condition for the opening Wednesday at KMP. And I kinda want to run it on the dirt dragstrip as well. The Corolla has needed like nothing other than tires, air filter and oil/filter since I got it. That part will be missed. To be fair it did need some work when I fir...

2014 Cadillac ATS Luxury 2.0T AWD - Mostmint #46
Apparently its time to replace the Corolla with something that has a little more zip. https://www.primeautosalesllc.com/details/used-2014-cadillac-ats/102223515 This car has a couple dings but its clean rust wise. It has 117k, brakes look new and are very responsive, and suspension is firm. I took a...

LF frame rail/firewall/floor assembly • Fit this into the car. Required multiple test fits and some adjusting of the car. As it turns out the driver side of the transmission tunnel was moved inward slightly during the crash. Also, as I lined up some sections, others would get out of line. Measureme...

After an improbable win on the dirt the prior weekend, on Saturday 3/30 I participated in a 4+ hour iRacing endurance race with a new team called sLowered Expectations. I'm 3rd in driver order for this event. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w75OaH6ujmk

Re: iRacing broadcasts
Eldora with the sprint cars did not produce the same kind of interesting racing that the trucks did on the dirt road courses. I have to learn how to get better on the starts, manage the wing adjustments as the track changes, and be able to manage a pass. I was keeping up with P4 until I tagged the i...

Re: 2023 iRacing - Other
If you can stay in the draft it’s like NASCAR Talladega - big pack and anyone can lead. It’s insane the speed differential in the draft. With small car counts it’s not the best but if you get 20-30 cars it can be interesting

Video update #4: https://youtu.be/xAnePWTFsic
I have some new video editing software and this video is the guinea pig. I trimmed over 10 minutes out of this from the raw clips. I have not tried any of the extra effects yet.
