I have the Borla Atak with stock dp. Sounds good. With the valve closed it's very slightly louder than stock with no drone on the freeway. With the valve open it's a good note with good volume.

I have a lot of tracks close by (in US terms). Within 4 hours is CMP, AMP, Road Atlanta, VIR, Roebling, and CMS. Going to 5 hours includes Barber and the FIRM. But the reality is most in the US have to drive/tow reasonably long distances to get to a track. Very few tracks (outside of VIR)...

Oil temp in the sump is usually lower than in the engine by a few degrees, although with it covered by the undertray it should be close. Oil temp in the head "should" be the highest as the oil has now traveled through the engine. Oil temp inside where you can't really measure it well is where...

If it wasn't a 9 hour tow I'd go again also. I really wanted to crack the 1:54's.

Pretty gutted for the Steel Cities Region and everyone who enjoyed the track. I was glad to go there one last time a few weeks ago.

Having done the heater method in the south east...I would also choose life. Maybe in winter with the vents pointing out the open windows. I had a Miata a long time ago that had some issues and it would slowly overheat on track unless the heat was on (or it was below 80 degrees outside)...

I've looked at the intake snorkel print stuff in passing. Did you find or design one that works?

I would imagine in Dubai it's not dissimilar in terms of tires falling off unless it's some super high heat hard compound. Even myself on the stock cooling system run out of tire before I run out of intake temp capacity (on the stock tune). I think I'm more interested in a yes/no on if my...

What was the temp delta before and after the fan install? Did it allow you to do more hot laps in a row, or did you still take a cool down lap at the same general point?

Are people breaking the transmission after the clutch swap? What type of racing also matters.

If you're running at the limit of cooling I would expect to see (assuming the track has enough slow sections) very small cooling benefits during a session. I would not expect to see it having appreciable impacts on lap times. The hood vent in your profile pic will help the fan work, but the...

I agree as having the hood open with a water sprayer on the front stack would greatly outweigh the fan. The fan wouldn't hurt though.

I picked the 18x10.5 TSW wheel from TireRack since it was cheap enough for track wheels. 275/35/18 71RS tires all around.

If you're getting the FPC over temp range 2 error, then pull the panels in the trunk to uncover the box that houses the FPC. Leave the hatch open between sessions and it "should" cool off enough. If you're still getting it you can try the print option I created and posted earlier in here. I...

The design of the fan blades does come into play along with motor power. That said, as vehicle speed increases most vehicles do turn the fans off. The Supra has the highest speed I've seen in a vehicle at 75 mph for full off and most others (that I've seen) are like 50ish mph. It would reduce...

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...
