Nice! So what are you using to get the throttle/HP car data into Harry's Lap Timer? I'm assuming there's some plugin device that goes into car and into the bottom of the iPhone?

It's an obd2 reader with wifi connection to the app on the phone.

Nice vid! Glad the telemetry worked for you!
Stock seats and stock steering wheel?

Yes on seats (ugh) and wheel, very under prepared SSP car, but not bad if driver has a good day.

I am thinking of going to smaller front tires (current 295 f/335 r a6) to get more precision for autox.

Suspension is very prepared (except delrin bush) still on poly bush.

Did you use your iPhone to take the video or did you use a video camera and render the Harry's Lap Timer data to the video afterwards?

I could hear the seats squeaking and the turning time is typical from a stock wheel!
I run 285/305 on my Conti setup and it works pretty well for AutoX. The Pirelli DH 275 square setup warms up quicker and handles pretty good too.
A good seat would probably help you more with precision than a change in tire size but seat time is really key to more precision!
