H&T has got to be pretty far down the list of techniques you must use to turn a decently quick lap, but I do fail to see how you’re going to execute a downshift smoothly to be in a good position to take up the throttle on corner exit w/o it. At least on some corners. Personally I’ve found it...

Steeda gas pedal, and then just get used to moving your foot to the left on the brake so you dont hit the accelerator when braking. Lots of practice, but as you’re finding out, on track its not so easy to be consistent.

Can I direct you to some nice PP2 and GT350 OEM look wheels which come in 19x11? We have a selection of those. Might as well do a set of 4.

Shipping can take a few days and shipping is usually on the expensive side, which offsets the prices for some items, so depending on the thing I will still buy some larger/freight type things and smaller parts from the local dealership to dodge the shipping prices, but I always check Levittown...

I had a similar panic stop recently, but it wasnt an old lady it was a yellow turning ‘orange’ light at a wide right corner which I fully intended to run before the Officer in the marked police car pulled up to the interection at the last moment. Hard brake, ABS and tire screetch, followed by...

I think just parked next to a sprinkler once or something. That rust will be gone after a good test drive

I'm a little surprised the factory setup was loose for you on entry. Anyway, yes, its a good time to throw in a front bar if you can. The stiffer bar will make up for what you loose with the bonded mounts. Do it!

If you had brake fade and a soft pedal with Motul, I’d just ask when the Motul was changed last. You sometimes need to bleed or even flush brake fluid between run days or even sessions. I’ve boiled motul fluid before but I was being extremly agressive trying to chase down a GT3 and the fluid...

Nice work on the clean install. Setting the angle intentionally, keeping the stock brake ‘ducts’, reusing the radiator support mounting locations, and the rear peice were all smart. I just wish it was bigger and lower :)

IIRC automatics can be finicky about fluid changes. Not sure about that wire. It looks captured under the stud which the engine cover plastic mounts to. I dont remember ever seeing that on my ‘16. No idea, but doesnt seem important.

Gotcha. FWIW, I can't imagine running the wing without some front splitter to balance. its not a trivial thing to get enough DF from a splitter for sure, but driving around pre-event or post-event with just the wing and yeah, heavy understeer, as you'd expect.

Yeah my 2c is more rear bar.

Remember the wing isnt doing diddly squat in 30mph anything, so adjusting it may not help. Most of the aftermarket bars are 35mm but yeah not all created equal. If you’re understeering, you have some useful shock settings to play with. I’d start there, but maybe land on a ever so slightly...

No its not too late and pretty easy. They probably did it but its easy to do and no harm.

Of course you did a crank relearn with the new short block, right?
