The flaw I see is shipping in the retail box that doesn't appear to be up to the rigors of transit. Should probably be inside another box to stand a chance.
So in my mad scramble to buy parts for a build of my 2023 CTR for track duty this spring, I somehow screwed up and ordered TWO PRL charge pipe kits. I literally opened it, looked inside and got deja vu, then went down in my basement and verified I had already ordered and received the exact same...
I had a buddy who worked on my Evo 8 TT car, and after the 3rd set of Whiteline balljoint boots getting scorched, fabbed a nice little metal shield for them. Worked great from there on out.
So, looking for feedback on my plan, the more experience based, the better. As part of a track build plan, I've ordered a HEL oil cooler, PWR race version radiator, and a Hybrid Racing low-temp coolant thermostat to address engine cooling concerns. However, do I remember reading that the...
Looking for others who are in the upstate NY/ Capital District area of NY. If you're within 2 hours of Albany NY then we'd like to hear from you. Heck, if you're up in Plattsburgh and don't have any local Type Rs to rely on, feel free to join in. Trying to start a FB group to share local...
Yes, some wire screen wedged in that intake should help. We had a Z4M Coupe show up at Watkins Glen for a BMW track event once. Guy drove all the way from Ontario, Canada. During his first session, he said the car felt underpowered. Some other guys started troubleshooting with him, and when...
As a flagger and a track driver, I LOL'd. Was at the Glen once and got unexpectedly stopped at end of session by the pit marshal. He explained I was one of several cars reported by the flagger at the exit of the Toe of the Boot for giving him the finger. We had to explain there was a group...
I volunteer as an SCCA flag marshal and in addition have worked many IMSA events (headed down to Sebring in March for the 12 Hour race once again this year). I've loved watching the TCR Type Rs competing. I can say it takes some time for manufacturers to work with sanctioning bodies to agree on...
Too soon to tell for me: I owned an '03 Evo 8 (sold in '22) that over the 18 years I had it basically morphed into a fully caged and technically not-street legal time attack car with license plates. I picked up my CTR in October '23 and stored it for the winter with only having put 171 miles on...
