They're wrong, or everyone at every track day would get that error. Which tuner do you use? The fuel pump is submerged in fuel which has a cooling effect. The fuel pump controller is not. It's a small electrical board encased in a plastic box, buried under the trunk floor/carpet, right above...

They definitely punch above their weight. The class I'm in has 1LE's, Mach 1's, C5 Z06's, and the GT350. All the Mustangs besides the GT350 were in the 1:56's or higher due to a shift to 5th down the back straight. The GT350's just wrung out 4th and were in the 1:53's or 1:54's. One of the...

Thanks! It's got camber plates, H&R drop springs, an Eibach front bar, a Borla cat back, and 18x10.5 wheels with 275/35/18 71RS square. Alignment is -3.4F/-2R with zero toe up front and .2 degrees of toe in per side rear. The class I prepped it for only allows drop springs (without collars) or...

I ran a 1:55.1 at Pitt Race this past weekend. Predicted was a 1:54.3 but I couldn't execute how I wanted. Frustrating to see an earlier lap be your fast lap when later laps had better lines and VMin but less grip.

Wanted to follow up after SCCA TT Nats at Pitt Race. We had medium temps that peaked in the upper 80's (87 was the highest according to the weather station, the car read 91 during the outlap). I ran 7 of the 10 sessions with the longest session being 6 laps. I pulled everything out of the...

I‘m well aware of the different series of aluminum. 6061 is going to be what any wheel spacer on the market is made of. No one is going to go out of their way to use 3003 or something in a wheel spacer. 7075 series is also a waste on wheel spacers. There‘s always technically best, and then...

The sidewall is the part where the lettering is, and that's fine. You're talking about the shoulder. The wear there isn't great, but it'll last at least another day if you're monitoring it. I wouldn't say you have a ton more heat cycles left, but you've got some. I haven't cycled out 71RS...

Something I've found super helpful is putting a gopro somewhere that I can see my inputs as well as the track. I've gotten lazy and been using a garmin catalyst and realized that it's great for analysis of the lap, but not what I was doing during the lap. Get some video of you steering and see...

That looks like a combo of not enough camber and turning the wheel too far. Likely more turning the wheel too far since that's what produces that type of shoulder wear at that camber level. Mid turn, if the car is pushing, you want to unwind instead of adding more steering as that additional...

They fit. Those are the same ones on my car.

Apex has their studs on sale now, or you can get them from FCP Euro and have free replacements. Buy the spacers themselves off amazon or ebay. Aluminum is aluminum, and you can get them for less than $50 total (likely less if you shop around). I think I'm in a total of $150 for studs and...

Cross posting this from the issue thread. I don’t expect anyone will need it but I modified the FPC housing from the older BMW box that had overheating issues. It works with the 40mm fan. I can post the stl file if anyone is interested. I got the box installed last night and used fuse 273 to...

Got the box installed last night and used fuse 273 to power it. The fan stays on anytime the car is “active” but the draw is super low for current. After about 10-15 minutes (or whenever the car actually shuts off the electronics) the fan shuts off. Total cost to print the box is $.86, the...

Fixed that for you.

Interesting to note. I've driven RA quite a bit and you're right that it's a similar setup with high speed down into a switch back. Elevation there is very different as you said though. T11/12 is my favorite section of that track too, so it'd be a bummer if 10B causes that issue. Weird that...

Only one pic of the car from the local track day, and it's me in pit lane. Enjoy the over exposed, but still pretty pic 😅

I expected it to be fuel starve or some code relating to it given I was adding around or just over 4 gallons after each session. I was surprised by the over temp code though which lead to this rabbit hole. It was others mentioning they had fuel starve but no CEL that made me dig deeper. It...

As noted, it changes the track width. It's the ratio of front to rear track width that matters. As you add width to one end or the other it effectively gains grip. The result is eventually a perceived lack of grip at the other end. Like I mentioned, it's likely not coming into play here and...

It was in a right hand bus stop. I had to find a track map to display it, but it's the 135 to 45ish mph left turn into right bus stop turn. I wouldn't expect fuel starve there given the pump "should" have been submerged as I still have 5 bars of fuel left. It was also immediate, not like the...

The calc is tire diameter * 3.14 (gives circumference). Divide that by 360 to split that circumference into radians. Then times that value by your toe value in degrees. I do this math regularly since I'm used to doing my own alignments on strut cars, and will generally do toe adjustments...
