makes adjustment easier. but Steeda has a couple different offerings...That could help. The Steeda rear camber arm thing....does that help lock it into place or just makes adjusting easier?
might be worth adding to the wish listmakes adjustment easier. but Steeda has a couple different offerings...
The factory has a slot in the car-end and if you put the Steeda/BMR adjustable arm on your car then it behooves you to 'fill in' the slot so the pivot point can not change.
They have lock out plates at inboard mount (and rubber bushing btw although it probably doesn't matter much) but the eccentric adjustment bolt at the outboard mount is very painful to get to with suspension loaded / car on alignment rack (and requires flat 1/2 inch wrench that not everyone has). Not a big fan of them.Pertaining to the rear, supposedly the SPC arms are one of the better offerings. No slippage

If you're still curious about noise, I drove the car around town with the windows down. I actually didn't notice too much noise increase. Echoes a bit more but nothing too drastic. I was surprised.Have you driven it yet? I'd be curious to know how much more noise comes into the cabin without the lining
sounds like the suspension blows.Also, the roll bar adds quite a bit of rigidity. The whole car feels more stiff; gets tossed around more from larger bumps or dips in the road.
What sim?Man.....I should've gotten a racing SIM a long time ago. This thing is great! I've gotten more "seat time" in the last couple weeks than I have the last three years.
Only one way to find out if this practice translates to improved real-life times but so far, I'm really liking it.
Took some time to get used to the game but once I did, this thing provides so much practice!
I started with the base 2015 GT....complete trash. Could only manage a 2:10 at Buttonwillow.
Then downloaded a Mach 1. Much better, managed a 2:02 but the brakes are still lacking compared to the race pads I have on my car and the thing still oversteers everywhere.
Downloaded a GT350R and at first, hated it. Oversteered like mad but slowed myself down and got used to the characteristics of it and now love the car. Braking power and cornering seem the most similar to my car; hopefully I don't get used to the extra 60 hp though.
Currently got my BW times down to 1:57. If I can do that in December with Super GT Cup, I will be an extremely happy camper. 1st place in Street is the goal!
Nice I'm looking to get into that once the car goes away this fall. The downside is I'm using a console so I can't access any mods (which means no local tracks).Assetto Corsa
If you aren't able to use mods on a console, I would say the value of the SIM entirely goes away. I got this specifically because I could practice on the same exact tracks I drive in real life. I would suggest looking into buying a PC then.Nice I'm looking to get into that once the car goes away this fall.

What wheel are you using?
I wouldn't say "entirely". You're still getting "seat time" and can apply techniques from corners in the sim to those that are similar at your home tracks. That's like saying there is no point in doing driver training if it's not at your home track. I'm not interested in blowing 2 grand on a PC when I can pick up the game for $30 and get 80% of the experience. Maybe down the road, but there are other priorities right now (which I think you can relate saying you have a young family as well). I have a Logitech g920 with the pedals and shifter. Game changer after using a controller for years.If you aren't able to use mods on a console, I would say the value of the SIM entirely goes away.

I got a Thrustmaster T300RS.
That's a fair assessment. FWIW, my PC is 5-6 years old and runs it just fine. I think you could buy/build one for a lot cheaper than $2k, but again, you make a solid point.I wouldn't say "entirely".
