Gates311: In-car footage of the AMS 900X setup!!

Here's another video from BIR, this time from inside the car recorded on a Canon 7D with a 17/40L lens. I went out there, took it easy and broke in a fresh new set of Nitto NT01's, this video capture that process haha.

It's been a long time since I've had some content to post up...but after some more 'development' issues (intercooler pipes, throttle bodies, transmissions, etc.... haha), I made it up to BIR in MN this weekend for a final shakedown. I'm heading to Vegas this weekend for Redline T/A at Spring Mountain, leave tomorrow

The main focus was to make sure the car ran, smoothly, and that it was fast. We know the car can handle, we developed the JRZ/Nitto combo awhile ago, so I wasn't pushing it too hard thru the corners. BUT, you get to see the car hit 188 and hear it spank pretty hard haha! Also, running old crusty Raybestos ST43 brake pads...hence the squeal.

Your car seems so amazingly effortless! Good luck this weekend. Out of curiosity, what does the 900x setup entail? I'm guessing a billet 6262 w/ .63 a/r?

I enjoyed that vid. I flinched a little when you were first getting on the course. I thought one of those cars was going to clip you.

The brake squeaking is a little to much. But the car is so fast it had me laughing. crazy top end.
