iRacing Simulator Build

The iRacing Simulator is up and running! 

We built this simulator to give the ABJ Team some seat time at Stafford Springs before the 24hr of LeMONS edurance race.  The team at Aprotocall pushed to us a Mac Mini as a platform and the result was awesome.  The compact size as well as built in bluetooth and wifi makes the system a great choice for its portablity.  The latest gen Minis run an nvidia graphics car that can handle the program requirements.   To give our system all the help it could get (and to get the most for our buck) we bought the base model Mac Mini and did our own upgrades.  Discllaimer: The following voids the crap out of your warrenty if you mannage to break stuff.  You'll be the proud owner of a shiny/hip paperweight.  This said our Hack Mini outperforms the ones you can buy at Apple and for hundreds of dollars less.  We brought our machine to the dealership yesterday to help make up for being stuck working on Memorial Day.  Our sim ran a respectable 52 frame rate and everyone was impressed.  Oddly, as soon as Nuno got behind the while the Simulator's check engine light started flashing...

Redstock

When we went to pick up our 08 Sleeper car from the Dyno facility, we used the trip as an excuse to get a baseline at the wheels for the new revised 09.  While it was on the rollers we couldn't help but play with it a bit.  Check out the before and after on the dyno chart...

 
 

Project 42

We've been just about awful at updating our site lately.  Here's something fresh for all y'all at home.


Project 42 
This project has a special place in our hearts.  This is the 42nd job we've taken on in our Performance Division.  It is also our main racing number.  We put a little extra into this one.  Don't let the outside fool you.  This car is not your monther's 08 WRX

Project Impreza Coupe


Impreza Coup Project Begins!
We took the first step in a new project today.  Our unloved 200kmi Impreza brighton got its first attention since it was taken in as a $100 trade.  We hope to have a fun and slightly competitive IT class track car by next spring.  Check out the first photo of Project RS with it's new hood!


In the coming weeks after the summer Autocross season winds down and before Ice racing ramps up we hope to address the rust areas and work on our welding skills.

Stay tuned...
