Track forum general chit chat.

[kyippee]

Good day today. 40 cars only at Thunderhill east. 2:05.xx bypass and 2:02.xx cyclone were my new PBs. Almost did a 2:00 bypass but got blocked in 14/15, couldn't apex into a car that was pitting

Friends rode along, they are JRZ believers now. Was curbo hoppo all over.

Sumting Wong with my ABS sensor. Already replaced original front right sensor when it wouldn't stop giving me errors. With the new one, once I pull into pit after cool down, I get same errors again. I wonder if it's the wheel bearing. Error goes away after the car sits and I clear codes. Do another session? It's just fine! Any clues?

I'm wondering if moving to the 275's would help since they are about .4" wider so should grip better and handle the heat a bit better too.

The ZIII's are my first 200tw tire, so I can't give any comparisons personally, but I'm loving them so far. 6 days on them and they're barely showing any wear. I've only run them in hot weather once and it was only 88-90, so not sweltering, but they did great. At the end of a 20 minute session, they started to get a little slippery. Recently I let my friend who does spec E30 racing drive my car and he was able to make them start to get slippery after about 15 minutes but he was really hammering down. He said he liked them though. I've also had the unfortunate pleasure of driving them on the interstate during a torrential downpour twice and they resisted hydroplaning quite well.

Did you replace with an OE part?

Good job!

Pull the sensor out and while rotating the wheel clean out hub with high pressure air through the hole the sensor sits in. That's what I did and it's all good now.

Anyone have anything good or bad to say about Motion Control Suspension?

Have run both the 2 way non remote and 3 way remotes. Best company I have felt with.

Had KW Competitons prior and like the MCS much better. Easier adjustments and customer service are much better with MCS.

I'm in love with tools that make life easier and save time. I finally splurged and picked up this set of torx bits/sockets. I have another set, but it's not as complete.
Also picked up a trim removal kit for like $12. I resisted for many years and got by with a screwdriver, but I'm tired of it. Planning on adding some free "lightness" soon.

I was very happy with my setup. A major improvement in dampening over the KW V3 I had prior. They were highly recommended by a lot of the larger shops I inquired with too. It is a relatively new company, started by some key people of two other suspension companies. JRZ & ??

I heard the guy who started Moton left to make JRZ, then ended up leaving JRZ to make MCS. Also somewhere in there AST bought Moton.

So how does MCS compare with JRZ RS PRO? Looking at their triple adjustable, remote reservoir setups.

I'm disappointed with you. In the track section there are two ways to remove trim. Pull and pull harder.

My wife's Miata has MCS 2WR, and I've driven M3s, 911s, STIs, and a few other things with MCS on them. A well setup MCS install is sublime. I plan on swapping to MCS on my E46 M3 track car eventually.

You and I are at pig level commitment with our track cars.

Roast beef is still at chicken level.

Love my MCS 2WR setup. Would buy gain over the others

I thought you were looking at the 25% off of Moton? MCS are great. Just get JRZ since we have a local person who can rebuild (Chewerkz in El Monte).

Question for the group.

On my DCT car I am getting low RPM high load knock like crazy. Didn't notice it much when I first got the car, but this fall and winter it is really lame. Gas in the Northwest is 92, perhaps the winter blend is what's doing it. I also feel like the Alpine tune I have is trying to put too much timing into that portion of the map to give it better low RPM response.

Anyone else deal with this?

MCS suspension setups are awesome! I’ve used JRZ, Moton, TCK and MCS setups on my e46 M3, e92 M3s and f82 M4 - the MCS 2WR setup is by far my favorite suspension setup.

I’m running BPM stage 2 and haven’t experienced this...Have you tried installing the stock tune and see how the car runs compared to the Alpine tune?
