    Stephen,

    Did you have a welded diff in the Audi? Have you ever driven a welded diff? I'm tellin' you, talk to Steve. (regardless if your current diff is fine) His diffs have all the good qualities of a welded but none of the bad......

    Ran a quaffe which worked awesome. Never any wheel spin and I could turn in the parking lot! Oh and it has lasted 9years!

    All I have heard is good things about his! I have sent him a PM

    Here is a 2 part video of NARRC's sunday ITR/S/A race. Well, only ITA can be seen. Some background, we missed qual on Saturday morning as we slept in with intend (i.e. we pulled into the B&B at 2:30 am the night before... I HATE CT traffic). in the qual race, we started DFL and ended up 9th PIC. By Sunday afternoon, we were 6th PIC running a 2.20.9 which was a personal best for me, but yet 1.6 seconds off pace.

    Now to the videos, some excitement at the start. During the first 2-3 laps, the rears were not working. You can see that while going into the carousel, I drift left and the field walks away. I get passed by a yellow/black stripe maita (Kevin Anderson in STL?), which I later pass on the uphill. Brian Blizzard and Jim Alley were battling it out which gave me a chance to pass them within a couple laps. The rest of part 1 is fairly boring until we see Bruce Perry coming up from the rear. He follows me very closely for two laps until I let him pass me and then I trail him. Within 2 laps, he gets squirmy in the bus stop, I pass him and for the rest of the race I chase the leaders, which from time to time come into my view.

    The car was great with the new motor and 225/45's though I do need more front chamber, better turn in and a touch more oversteer. More importantly, the driver needs a lot more work I have been out of any significant seat time since NARRCoffs '09. I noticed some classic mistakes: a few early turn-ins, double clutch of the steering wheel, some uber late breaking and at times spending a little too much time looking at my rearview (i.e. Perry) instead of my markers. What I didn't like most of all was my inconsistency with regards to certain turns. Sometimes I nailed them, sometimes I didn't. More seat time... enjoy.

    You THINK it was awesome because you have nothing to compare it to. LOL Just remember, you have a little bit more power than the Audi so getting the power down is even trickier.

    I ran a Quaffe in my GTi and would spin the wheels all the way up the hill out of 3 at NHMS.

    I ran a Quaffe in another car I had, I took it out after I was done with the race and sold it. IMO they are useless as tits on a boar hog!

    Here's a late video of the NARRC ITR race. Based on Glen Lawton's advice (I bought the same carmera and video software) the quality is now pretty good online.

    Cheers!

    Looking forward to Pocono this weekend!

    VERY cool idea to mount a "video" rear view mirror!
