Performante track mods: How?
Discussion
Fantastic car. But I spend so much time at the track I'd need to sort out these issues that are easily sorted with any GT Porsches:
- How to get proper racing seat belts in place? Factory buckets don't have enough opening for the belts, I have found Technocraft makes seats with their seat kit for the Performante, like here, https://technocraft.myshopify.com/collections/lamb... Any experience? I am afraid the issue is how to solve the airbag warning due to the weight sensor of the original seat. I believe when taking out the original seats you get airbag warning light and can't fix it away - or can you, how? Ohh, I guess the warranty will be gone already with the seat change project alone
- For the racing belts, any other options for harness bar than the one VF Engineering has, http://www.vfengineering.com/new-product-vf-huraca... ?
- How to get racing brake pads for the car with the ceramic brakes, or do you change to a steel setup and if so, to which steel setup with racing pads? I have again heard the stock pads die very quickly at the track. Manthey already has better track pads for their Porsche ceramics available...
- How to get more camber for the suspension, I have heard the stock setup with shims is quite limited for additional camber while with Trofeo R or any other semislick tire you would really benefit from huge camber for both longevity and performance?
- Speaking of tires are Trofeo R's spinnng on the factory wheels like they unfortunately do in a majority of cars with higher power unless you buy proper motorsport wheels with knurled wheel bead seats? I'm used to buying another set in any case but nice to know.
- Can you adjust the sway bars or can you upgrade to adjustable sway bars to sort out the handling? Most cars have too much understeer at the limit in stock form..
- Finally, there has been issues at the Nordschleife that the quickest Corsa setup may have too stiff suspension but you cannot independently put the suspension softer without losing the quickest shifts, any experience/improvement on this? Also, for the Nordschleife use are the magneto shocks superior and what about the steering? Can you spot from the old Ring record video or have you asked Lambo did their record car have the magneto shocks and which steering? I'm just worried/surprised why I don't see fast Lambos there.
The car is superb but I'm tad disappointed why Lambo can't have solutions for these basic issues. I have now waited over a year for Lambo to come up with some kind of "Track Pack" or "Clubsport Pack" for the car but nothing happened. These issues stay the same even with the Aventador SVJ, while they are providing active aero and all sorts of cool stuff, why can't they provide the basics for people who really drive at the track? Customers themselves interested only in boulevard driving and I should stick with Porsches?
Many thanks in advance!
