Hold up.... gotta fill us in here. You working in a response vehicle?

Posted this in another thread a while back but i'll add it here as well. Did an armrest insert and skinned it with carbon. Not perfect with the curve but well enough for me.

Working in the commercial HVAC business there's a significant de-rate in chillers when adding glycol (anti freeze) to the system. It's roughly 30% glycol = 6% derate in btuh capacity. Not perfect science but watching the Project Farm youtube video testing these coolants was surprising for...

Has anyone tested different coolants such as VP Stay Frosty or Redline Supercool? In exchange for freeze protection they have a higher heat transfer load with the low or no glycol levels. Online tests i've seen seem promising.

Pretty bored and made this using the below model maker link. Wanted it more for torque and sizes then just went an followed the service manual steps too. Kinda cool online tool for whatever it is you need. Model Maker Link

This is a good read on why a probe pyrometer is better than a temp gun and what readings can mean. https://www.elephantracing.com/tech-topics/reading-tire-temperature/

Wow, looked this car up and this link/build page is great. https://sectoronedesign.wordpress.com/category/supra/

Kinda proud of this one. Scanned the front corner of my car just using my Iphone with the Heges app and modeled out canards in Fusion 360. Printed a bunch of beta's using PLA and adjusted the sizing as needed. Final prints were using ASA with my X1C in a single piece. Print was a little...

Wanted something that sat a littler further forward so I modeled a mount that slides over the stock strut bar. Oversized the inner portion to allow room for some felt to avoid scratches. Uses a 5mm x 40mm hex socket screw and heat pressed insert on the underside. Bonded the slide mount on...

Ordered the Dynamic Friction rotors from Rock Auto. When using the previous PMU pads on new rotors is there anything i should do to prep the pads before bedding?

Didn't realize 1 post and a couple replies on a subject warranted shitty remarks. I take everything you post as incredibly helpful, truely, you're a massive asset to what i do to track my car. This has been an incredibly frustrating portion to a newcomer such as me so hopefully others can...

Now I know why you guys just do new rotors with new pads. I wired wheeled the stock rotors and installed the club racer pads. Bedded the snot out of them a month back and 2 hot laps into the track day today and they were shuddering like crazy.

I"m a child at heart, don't judge.

This is a little old but I made this to pop into the shifter while in manual. I've printed in ASA and seems to work well. Doesn't allow you to use the up / down at the shifter but figured everyone uses paddles anyway.

Noticed the plastic around my hks tips melted on one side due to a long high speed left hander. Has anyone put any sort of heat shielding or material around the plastic to prevent this? Hangers seem good. I can’t really move the exhaust by hand.

Yep I just checked with them and said they have front and rear in stock so i snagged a set.

I didn't. I figured that's probably my issue. I wanna switch pads back over to stock or something else until next track day. The dust is nuts on the the Hawks. I really wanted to get the PMU's but just no stock anywhere.

I'm doing something wrong with brakes. Swapped to Hawk DTC60/30 from stock pads, bled out to fresh Castrol SRF and thought I did a pretty aggressive break in with 4-5, 80-0 braking just before ABS. Switch to RE71's as well so way more grip. Previously same track and same temps the full stock...

Yeah sounds like it was poorly organized and gauging from vibes last year it wasn't received well then either. This will stick a fork in it for next year.
