vu can shine in on this.. same thing happened to his motor if im not mistaken...
Just did my 2nd day @ THill and got my lap time w/o bypass down to 2:18. So, now I'm looking at your video to see where I can improve things. Was wondering if you can explain some observations and let me know if you think they're at all applicable to my car (completely stock AP2, street tires, race pads).

Turn 2 - It looks like you're taking that in 4th; realistic for me to carry that much speed into the turn with street tires?

Turn 9 - Looks like you get up to 5th gear then go from 5th to 3rd. I'm in 4th going through 8 and approaching 9, possible for me to carry enough speed though 8 to hit 5th, and would it be worth it given the braking drama I'm sure would occur for Turn 9?

Turn 10 - Looks like 5th to 3rd downshift again, really worth the upshift to 5th versus just bouncing 4th on the rev limiter for a bit?

Turn 11 - Looks like you go down to 2nd (~6:00 into the vid); going down to that gear because it's a the 2.0, or should I consider dipping down to 2nd and working up the gears through the turn. Right now I do it in 3rd and shift to 4th between 12 and 13.

Thanks in advance for any tips.
