I did a 4:00.63 on Thunderhill Raceway 5-mile (full) configuration in Willows, CA. Car is stock with Toyo R888R tires.
Posted a thread about it with video:

After being a spectator at Laguna Seca for over 30 years, I finally made it down there as a driver! Wow, what a fun track. It was my first time driving it and I had just installed the Steeda rear sway bar on Saturday, so it took me a couple of sessions to both learn the track and get use to the increased tail-happiness of the car, but I got the hang of it in my third session. I was a little bummed that I had to leave early and miss the fourth session, but it was getting pretty hot at that point anyway. Additionally, my track tires have 30+ heat cycles in them so they get greasy fairly fast these days -- so I'm not sure I could've bettered my time from session 3 anyway.
Anyway, here's my update:
EvoConvert -- Breedt short shift arm, Steeda rear sway bar, Maxxis Victra VR-1 (UTQG: 200 A A)
Laguna Seca: 1:48.995

Yeah I updated it 8 hours before you posted that. Was hoping for more than one update before the next update
Oh well, updating it with yours now.
Edit: Updated - and sorted it by fastest lap per track layout.

Are you trying to tell me that you don't sit at your computer waiting with bated breath for people to post updates on the RS track time database thread?
Seriously, though, no worries man. Sorry to be a pest, just wanted to make sure this was still being managed and didn't get moved to a different thread or something. As always, thanks for managing this!

Video in post #14 here:
http://www.focusrs.org/forum/33-focu...17-2017-a.html
Best lap starts ~3:30.
Same mods as before but added track pads and Whiteline rear SB. Still stock MPSS and all front suspension.
Lucas Oil 5W-50, no overheating or RDU/PTU issues, outside temps were a high of 74.

Nice work Jim! That's a damn fast lap. Well now I definitely need to get back to Laguna soon. Gotta get back to the top of the Laguna leaderboard!
How do you like the E30 tune? I know a lot of people swear by Adam's tunes. Do you know approximately how much power you're putting down at the wheel with that tune?

I love the E30 tune, it's a beast, substantially better than the 91 tune. I wouldn't do it without installing the FBM Zeitronix flex fuel sensor and gauge, which I did. Adam shows this chart:

I suspect with that amount of power you will be back on top very quickly as I am pretty new at the HPDE thing

Wow, that's a lot of juice. It's funny, I could actually tell from watching your video, both in terms of sound and visually that the car had better throttle response and got back into the power faster coming out of the corners, especially 2 and 11 -- made me jealous
. That being said, you must have a darn good feel for your car and driving in general because a 1:47 at Laguna is a really good time regardless of the tune. Definitely something to be proud of.
How new are you to HPDE? I'm a relative noob myself -- started back in September and I've done around 10 events now.

This was my fourth time ever, all with the RS. The first was Dec. 26th, 3 at Laguna, one at Sonoma (no video on-board that day
). Plus the RS Adrenaline Academy which helped show me the capabilities of the car and how hard I could be braking. I used to race motorcycles back in the 80's but never seriously. But I'm having a blast.

Just an inquiry...what app are you guys using for these laptime screenshots? Also, I noticed some videos have a lap position/time overlay. What type of camera does that? Asking for a friend :rofl2:

My latest were shot with an Android phone and an OBD plug-in module for the video overlay. They both belong to a friend and I will ask for details on the module later today.

I use Harry's LapTimer in conjunction with a GoPro. For the screenshots of laptimes from the RaceHero app, those are only possible when the HPDE group sponsoring the track day is using transponder timing.

Yes, mine was with Harry's LapTimer with a module, found here in the OBDII and Combos section:
Android - Harry's GPS Laptimer

The RS OBD port door hangs down when the port tool is installed, I simply rigged a long rubber band around the door opening and hooked it over my headlight dial - worked like a champ for a few sessions then the module appeared to work loose, so next time I will have a second rubber band to install pulling the module into the OBD port. Easy peasy!

@DeltaT Unclip the OBD2 port and then pull it up into the big hole above it (press in sides of the OBD2 port, push it back through the hole, reach through the upper hole and pull it up) then you can plug the OBD2 reader in and still close the door.

Cool, I'm looking forward to getting to Buttonwillow, maybe in late winter/early spring. Are you going to post up your vid?

Here's my only video of Sunday's HPDE at Sonoma Raceway (was Sears Point). Best lap (2:00.80) starts around 8:11:
No news mods to car except brake fluid flush with Wilwood 600 and Goodridge SS lines. No more soft pedal!
