Hear that noise? That was the joke going right over my head...:):):):):)

Hah...don't confuse aggressive with fast. :cool: @AHP is a lot quicker than me. Yeah, I do a lot of late braking/trail braking, I bang off a lot of curbs, I hang the tail out in 14 a lot, I use a lot of "race line" that points me at someone's door at a couple of places on track. Most of...

When I switched from OE to CSG pads...I bought new rotors for the car. When I switched the fronts from CSG to Pagid RSL29, I bought new front rotors for the car. I suppose while we're b!tchin' about brake pads, I'll report back on the RSL29s again. At this point, I've done 5 track days with...

FWIW, I know Andy - the guy who does a lot of the GRM tire testing. He's methodical, and most importantly brand-agnostic. He just wants whatever makes him go faster, and this gig with GRM gets him access to a ton of tires. He'll be the first one to tell you that their testing is limited by...

Yes, I do get the rear end bouncing around a little under hard braking * The * part - There's a whole lot of "It depends" going on here. The surface has a bunch to do with it - if it's a little bumpy, I can have the wheel straight in the braking zone and still have a little movement. If the...

If this is the Wilbur that I think it is...I've met him a couple of times at Summit Pt - good guy, nicely set up car, likely no axe to grind against Hoosier and not a Yoko fanboy. I think he had Nankangs on the car last time I saw it. Interesting data points.

^^^Following that thought^^^ If I'm the only one driving the car, I have not hit the timing/fuel cut...but the majority of my track time has been in cooler weather. The issue from the other week was not the first time I've shared the car in an event, but it was the first time in "warmish"...

Rarely does the inside of a tire cord from camber (stance nation -8 deg cars notwithstanding). It's almost always toe.

The brute force approach...more front tire/wheel width. Freebies: Soften front sway (or stiffen rear), play with pressures - more in the rear. (what are yo ur hot pressures?) The other thing you may be you may be unconsciously doing is adding too much steering angle. The brain tells you...

The phenolic spacer is a "while you're in there" thing, I guess. If I'm going to do the Wagner, might as well do the spacer if it's not prohibitively priced. I've seen plenty of data points where the material has knocked down temps in other places, so the theory is sound.

I have AFE Control F and R. Installing the front is cake, but I can't say I drove it much with just the front bar, as I did the rear bar on a friend's lift the same weekend. You absolutely can do it on jack stands in your garage. It's not hard, it is just time consuming. There is a recipe...

Honestly, I'm kinda glad they're not the instantly addicting purple crack that Hoosiers are usually. I remember the first time I drove a CSP Miata on A7s (loooooong time ago), and had a set for my Miata for the next autox. Knowing Hoosier, they WILL update the compound quickly when they get...

I'm looking for a hood...strongly prefer Tungsten silver so I don't have to paint. I'm looking at local to DC area, but willing to drive a bit to southern PA, DE, or eastern WV if needed.

This looks to be the part (plugged in a '22 m440i xDrive for compatibility): https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-engine-cooling-fan-assembly-genuine-bmw-17428666819#fitment I'm starting the search for a used one. I'll update the first post with the suggestions so far.

Ah...thank you for the heat shield recommendation. That one wasn't on my radar. I'm 99% sure we have racelouvers hood louvers on my Mustang, not sure why I didn't look at them for the Supra.

First of all...thank you for sharing (as you always do). A good friend put a small blower on his Focus years ago, and shocker...had stupidly high IATs on track. He made a meth injection setup using the windscreen washer bottle and pump. I don't remember what he used for the squirter, but...

Now that you've ID'd the band, I'm back in the ring for another swing...

Points to whoever gets the easy song lyric reference first…Why another thread on "my car runs too hot on track" Tom? I'm glad you asked! EDIT: I'll do my best to be diligent and update this first post with relevant solutions proposed in the thread. Goals This thread will be easy to search...

This is 100% consistent with everything I know about the Supercars. I had a used set that I ran briefly, but moved to something else for OneLap use. A couple of people run them in OneLap...including the '24 winner...but he's a bit of a special case. He's a Goodyear employee and had tire...

I was wondering what you ran when you went out in the car, as I ran into your wife in the paddock after you drove by. Vincent ran a 1:45 something in my car on Saturday and I ran a 1:48.0, but we were both slower on Sunday. Track conditions were obviously better on Saturday, so pulling a bunch...
