As I said...equivalent coilovers from Shaftworks are in the same price range. Single Adjustable Shaftwerks are not 6-7K. They are $2400 with swift springs.
As I also said, if you step up to 2 way with Penske, then it becomes $5600.
So...$2400 Shaftworks are definitely cheaper than $3000...
KW's quality for general consumer grade coilovers has gone way downhill. V3's are not built for track use and KW will not warranty them if the failure is from track use. There are double digit on-track critical failures with the KW's on the A90 platform.
Fortune is eh -- same parts bin as...
The car should rotate fine maxing out the camber joints without adding additional parts to the rear. I'm running -3.55* up front with the option for -3.8/.9* and -1.8* in the rear. Keep the tire pressure about 3psi higher in the rear, and you'll be golden.
If you continue to experience...
Watching the evolution of the track rat is always fun.
I've finally made it to...as few mods and effort as needed to enjoy a day. All money goes to seat time, tires, and brakes. It's a very relaxing place to be.
Done the big time attack build. Done the Class C RV Tow Rig. Had to get all the...
Yea new owner runs NASA MA almost exclusively, so probably there! It was okay, but it should have been at least a 2:01. It was just a downpipe + tune A90 with basic aero at that point. Had it close, and then fuel starved in Hog Pen in the last session that killed the chance. I was driving a dumb...
Ugh, so long now. Probably March 2021? I moved out to Seattle at the end of 2022, and had focused all of 2021 and 2022 on SCCA Regional and National TT -- so that March would have been SCCA TTNT 2021 at VIR where I put down a very forgettable 2:03. I missed the 2022 SCCA NCR TT because of the...
Man, I don't remember the CMP curbs being that bad, but I was also in my old Supra on a very nice set of JRZ RS Pro 3 Ways, so kind of just ate everything up without much care ?
I think you'll find the V730 a nice balance between the NT01 and something like a 71RS. Sacrifice some life for some...
Curbing is fine with the same profile on the 19's, since its the same amount of sidewall...and it really is just track dependent too. VIR's gators are much more aggressive then some other tracks curb's, while some can be even worse.
I definitely wouldn't stick with the stock cast 19's as they...
Glad to see you back out there -- best thing after a wreck is getting back in the seat and pulling that bandaid off.
I've got to disagree with you here though -- 19's are not a problem at all, and 18's definitely are not objectively better. You can run a 35 pro sidewall on the 19's just fine...
This is the The Ridge -- it's in Shelton, WA about 90 minutes outside of Seattle. Definitely in my Top 5 alongside Road Atlanta, PittRace, VIR, and Oregon Raceway Park
Major improvement at Ridge last weekend, but temps yielded only a slight quicker PB. Data review yielded the car just didn't charge as hard in the 75*+ temps vs the 55-60* range -- shocker, right :)
If you haven't considered professional-grade coaching -- I'm fully a believer now. The amount we...
For the first flush -- I'd play it safe with 2 bottles. SRF doesn't play well with other fluids, so you want to really make sure you get it all out. After that, you can use a single bottle for regular maintenance. You won't die, but its on FCP Euro anyway Lifetime Warranty anyway.
You probably have a ton of OPR (other people's rubber) on your tires -- standard stuff, you can scrape it off with a heat gun and scraper/chisel if you want.
OEM Rotors cost more than Giro's no? ~350/rotor + shipping. Giro replacement rings are 300/ring.
Giro seemed like the right move for cost and benefit. 8 days into the season, plenty of life left, and barely any heat checking. Value prop is definitely there. Paired with CSG pads -- no dreaded...
CRS comes in a 265/30/19 for those looking to keep stock specs. I've ran 265/35/19 ECF without any issues -- speedo is about 3 mph off at like 70mph, but irrelevant on track, since not really looking down anyway.
A052 should be more like 5-6 seconds faster than PS4S for what its worth. If they...
