 Hello boys and girls, we are at a track day. Yes, finally after over a year actually It's been over a year since my car broke down over at the autobahn and Today we are at gingerman in Michigan and It is 730 a.m. Over here and it's 35 degrees and it's wet, but it's supposed to be 48 a high of 48 and it's not supposed to rain anymore. So It may take a session maybe less for the track to dry up And there's a few cars coming got a lot of friends over here, too. And it's And it's still dark. This is funny. Let me show you the track is somewhere there. I Actually been to this track once before Which was about I Say maybe 12 years ago. So why I still kind of remember the track, but it's it's it's probably gonna come back to me quick All right. See you in the daylight All right guys about to get going 46 degrees going through a quick inspection And it's the first session Morning Color band hidden down there somewhere This is what I got a little hot of the first second. Oh, that just says you paid to get here What are you from them when you get back in visit the eight and a half building and get a run group man Okay, guys, it'll be like a multi-color confetti looking band. Okay, cool All right guys so that was a The track is wet As you saw as soon as I came close to the throttle Just go on sideways Braking I mean, I don't know the track. I mean 12 years ago, you know It's been a while. Anyways, let's let's see some cars. So this is the Parking lot all the way there a lot of cars there, but let's see what's what's over here Easy timing belt or change up I Guys this is after one session the driver's side cylinder head catch goodness is full Check this out this is full and That actually started coming out this filter and I have a little bit of oil right there Dripping clearly there's a problem This happened Nothing's broken. Well these clips. I'm sure are broken. I'm gonna try and pop this back in I guess not sure what happened Maybe I pushed it too far. I Mean I went sideways plenty of times, but never so quickly I don't know. So this is what it looks like now like it never happened Now we're having a break. I'm gonna go out to the next session and take it easy See what's what maybe my diff locked up. That's what I'm thinking and it was weird once I came back onto the track and I was taking that First or the last right the second last Right before the straightaway It's it got very very slippery on me. I wasn't even on the throttle and just went sideways and So I'm thinking two options maybe because the Front left and rear left tires were still covered with sand, you know, muddy And or or both the rear diff is like enough. There's something maybe going on or I can't hear Can hear it's Knocking or anything Seems to be just fine. I don't know. We'll see Guys as you saw these guys are crazy They're pretty good with what I'm saying And I got a problem. There's a lot of oil Right in this area over here I already cleaned this up This catch can was full again only this one this one a tiny bit maybe a Quarter on the bottom So same thing with this one Drep an oil, you know, it's coming from this filter. I Would love to connect the hose Do another can over here so I can have a bigger capacity Everybody here says that it's normal. It probably is it is I am running what 55% E85 or ethanol I should say and but it's weird to me that it's only this catch can that's catching all the oil or the ethanol Not the others. That's that's that's weird to me Anyways, I'm gonna give it a rest. This is the fifth run right now. These guys are lining up I'm gonna record some some cars going by gonna find a different location Oh shit, we got an accident enough this debris. I Guess nobody cares look at this guy the Mustang. I didn't even see this He's out of the car. They got help coming and they stopped everybody red flag So two accidents in one day ouch Can't locate the Corvette so a Corvette in the Mustang Got all quiet all of a sudden. Okay guys It's over. They cut the day short because of the accident and it's still out there They're gonna tow it later. So we had five runs instead of six. I Could not locate the red Corvette anyways. I'm waiting on my buddies here to pack up and Going back home All right guys next day Back at the garage now The issue the oil issue the overfilling of the catch can Like I said, not sure why but let me show you How oily it is so it wasn't just basically overfilling and coming out this filter and coming down this way and It got as far as well got as far as onto the track, you know dripping here and there That's why I did not go It was what the fifth session Which I was going to go again on the last and the sixth session, but they cancelled it because of the accident and During the break or the cleanup I actually went and Filled it up with 93 and I wanted to see if I'm gonna have the the same effect, but that didn't happen anyways, you can see how that you know everything that's shiny to you that's Covered with oil down all the way down to the frame down there. So And you can see there on those Rubber pipes there Decided not to go on the track and that's the session where the red Corvette crashed and then the Mustang and I was lucky as You saw I lost it. It was quick too. It was Turn six, I don't remember anyways Usually it's it's it's kind of easy to Come out of these slides in the all-wheel-drive car, but this time it was just it was quick It was almost as if the rear diff locked up, but I think I know what the problem was and On my way back home it started it was a bunch of us coming back and You know, we did the do a pull once just once against the the blue 05 Subaru just to see the power difference and I think it was in fourth gear and the car was my car was just going trying to go sideways going straight and I'm gonna raise this car up and I'm gonna show you why See this brand-new lower ball joint all nice and shiny This one is not so shiny. I Replaced this ball joint. I had a little bit of play two days before the track and I didn't bother with alignment it drove straight the steering wheel is Tilted slightly to the left so it did not have any effect going slow, you know 40 50 whatever But that's why this car was pretty much dancing Especially braking tool and these air ducts. I gotta say these are holding up just just fine. Nothing is going on bad With those got a little drip on the filter not tight enough probably and yeah, these tires are old man These tires are 10 years old. I think You can see actually now how this tire is wearing out differently See this light You can see right here. It's taking off a bit more rubber off this part here Then here see how clean This is all the tire Not this side here It's like this part is Got its ass whooped a bit more. So yeah, so Just from looking, you know when the car sits down Just from looking up to the on the bottom of it like this like so and trying to compare Basically you're looking for toe and toe out It looks to me like just eyeballing it that it's toe out this This wheel is out this way a tidy more. So what I intend to do I'm gonna somehow measure the distance between the two tires from here to the other wheel and From here to here see what the difference is and adjust this Toe adjustment right here. Everything else is good besides the alignment No old tires. These are the bridge stone Potenza 050 RE 050 So that's probably why under the very the first and second session my braking was just off I was just going sideways Couldn't couldn't wasn't wasn't stable enough to to push the car Later on when I when it got dry third and fourth session It was a little better But then I lost it The bumper came out that just popped right in I still have I got to clean this car It's it's it's filthy on the inside. I still got dirt on the inside from the spin Like I said, I was lucky The other guys weren't the Corvette. I Just as I was filming during the fourth session. That was that was my group going around the red Corvette coming out of turn 11 the last turn after after that straightaway just lasted coming out spin hit the guard rail on the left and He probably should have parked it He in instead he he lost parts right there. I was I was trying to have the people I talked to some of the people that If they just out of curiosity if they saw me waving half of them did half of them didn't You know tunnel vision for you But yeah, I was trying I was standing right there for the whole time and you know trying to make sure nobody hit That's a plastic part. So I'm glad nobody hit it actually Then the Corvette Went around well, he couldn't exit the course because he just passed turn 11 that's when you exit and so he kept going around and He lost more parts and Another straightaway kind well, it's not a straightaway, but it is kind of a straight with the left turn It's an incline. It's you can't really see what's over on the other side of the track as you're going Kind of a little bit. It's it's kind of scary. You gotta, you know have some balls to If you want to go through there fast So I think it was a aluminum pipe that the Corvette lost after that I think he parked it somewhere on the grass because I did not see the Corvette on the parking lot Anywhere and somebody told me that he saw the Corvette summer. I never went out again. So I didn't see so as they were On turn five that fast left The Mustang got a wave an okay from somebody in front to pass him. He started to pass him That's when he saw that metal pipe Something something big shiny probably. He saw it on the track tried to avoid it Put two wheels on the grass and just just went his whole right side of the car Just destroyed just smashed all of it Airbags went off The front left also was destroyed probably totaled. I Talked to the guy. He's okay. He hurt his left knee just a little bit nothing serious, and that's it You know, we do have safe cars nowadays straight out of the factory, but I should be driving around with a Harness and some kind of a racing seat. I plan to do that soon sooner or later Now I do have pictures of the Mustang I was gonna show him but out of respect for the guy I'm not going to but me not going out there during the fourth session got some great footage of the cars just flying I mean these guys in advanced They're good. I should have went maybe to intermediate High level because there were two levels of intermediate. You know, I was there once Way long long time ago didn't remember the track and you know out of alignment being out of alignment It's not great. And I was just checking Play on both front wheels. I Got no play in the front right. I had play there from the ball joint before now I do have play in this one go and Move in grabbing the wheel the tire here and here with with two hands and moving it Back and forth and I have I think I have play on the wheel bearing so now I got to replace the The wheel hub it's on four bolts. If you want me to make a video on it. Let me know in the Comments this left side wheel was also moving as I was cornering cornering or breaking slightly back and forth Something to do. Yay All right guys, I think what I'm gonna do now is obviously replace that wheel hub Do an alignment clean it? Quite possibly install a racing seat and some harness Maybe some camera mounts as well here and there and I would love to do a Not nothing big some kind of a splitter in the front removable so I can actually take it with me to the track and install it I On the track and maybe a diffuser in the back because this factory one is Probably not doing much. Oh, yeah, and the oil catch can issue Easiest way to go around that is just to install a bigger catch can or an extra one run it I was actually walking around the track asking people for a 3-8s hose rubber holes so I can connect and then some kind of a bottle anything and Run a hose from that filter from the oil catch can and run into that extra bottle just add some capacity But nobody had a hose like that. So yeah, all right guys. Hope you enjoyed this video Please subscribe Like the video if you did this like the video if you didn't and I'll see you soon you
