Don't know that I have enough experience in the FL5 to answer that question specific to the FL5. In my previous track experience with a track prepared '90 911 I felt getting into the ABS was much better than trying to threshold brake. But, most of that came down to skill. I am not a...
No. Totally stock. Even though I plan on going to all the Kansas City SCCA autocross events this year I do not plan on doing anything with the alignment. In my opinion the car is pretty darty as is and at this point I don’t want to mess up how enjoyable the car is on the street. I do plan on...
I had coolant on the garage floor a week ago. After opening hood you could see coolant bubbling out of the coolant reservoir seam on the back side of the reservoir. I made a service appointment (car is actually there right now). I then called the parts department to see if they had a...
Should be covered but got in a slight argument with my dealer about making sure they have one on hand at my time of service. Service is booked out until next Friday - so a week and a half. I talked to the parts department and there is plenty of stock of the tanks at the distribution center in...
Found coolant on my garage floor. Leaking from expansion tank. Long term will probably end up with a Mishimoto.
Are expansion tanks in stock at dealers now? Some of the older threads indicate there was a back order.
First SCCA autocross this past weekend. This was my first AX event in the FL5 and I had only done 2 events previous and they were 25+ years ago. Car was completely stock on PS4s. I was registered in the novice class which had all novice regardless of car class and was ranked via PAX.
Car did...
Couple of questions:
Did they come with center caps or was that a separate purchase/part number?
Same question with the valve stems?
Same question with the lug bolts?
Or are you using the bolts from the stock black wheels?
Thank you. Just trying to learn. I have done numerous take days but none in a front drive car. I have a few track days coming up and your accident has made me a little gun shy. It has made me rethink how transferable my other track experience is to FWD and specifically to the FL5. Thank you...
@PointByPatrol do you mind if I ask what suspension setting you were in? Hard to see from the video if you were in +R or Individual. If I recall you are NOT running the ITS ADS module.
For track days I have Paragon P7 pads for the fronts. I am doing my first autocross in the FL5 Sunday. Thoughts on running stock front pads vs P7 for autocross?
Climate: Possibly up to 90 degrees (hard to say what the temp will be in Kansas City in June) plus I could do another event in July/August and it could easily be mid 90s then.
Experience: around 50 track days in Audi's and a prepped 911 (1990 964 C2, gutted interior, track tires, upgraded...
Overheating question:
With a totally stock setup (minus brake fluid and pads) at what temp (either water or oil) should you ease up and possibly do a cool down lap before going hard at it again?
