"Chin" is short for "Chin Motorsports." They run premier private track days, including instructed groups for beginners. Quality drivers, quality instructors, very fast cars, lots of track time, all on the best tracks east of the Mississippi. A lot of private teams will use their events as...
I'm working towards setting my car up with a 305/30 square setup, MPSC2s, camber plates and rear subframe alignment bushings. An alignment will be necessary, of course. I intend to set the specs more for track use, and leave them there (yes, tire longevity on the street will be compromised)...
I forget at the moment whether this is in the main owner's manual or the Shelby supplement, but there is a recommendation to change the diff fluid after a few hours (3?) of track use. That's why I changed mine with less than 4K miles on the car.
Yes, the red stuff is what I am referring to. I cannot speak with any technical knowledge about whether that sealant is reusable. I can tell you I did not apply any additional or "new" sealant to the diff drain and fill plugs when I changed my diff fluid. Maybe that was not correct, but the...
FWIW, the factory applies a "paste" sealant to the OE transmission and diff plugs. And, at least in race applications (which is what I am familiar with), it is common practice to use a paste sealant for oil and transmission cooler connections. The reason is to avoid teflon thread debris from...
Who's getting emotional? Logically, I think the tar and feathering of the 2015-2016 tech and base is more than a bit emotional, particularly from the hordes of folks who have not had frustrating personal experiences with their cars. But, I can't argue that for some officially "undisclosed"...
Really people . . .?
I have a tech pack, and I track the beast, so I can speak on this. OP states there is no intent to track the car, so this person is relatively educated on a known tech pack limitation--limp mode under track conditions--and has asked an appropriate question. It is...
I could've asked the question better. The track--NJMSP--runs its own days, like NASA or other groups do. I wasn't sure which organization you and TDC are running with.
Thanks.
Turn #1 is tough because its blind and over the crest of a hill with the car un-weighting while tracking out, which is when adding throttle can be tricky. Be comfortable getting to the inside curbing, crest the hill, get your eyes on turn #2, open the steering, feel the car settle, and gently...
Firestarter,
Those were some nice laps. If Lightning is a track you'll be driving more, and you don't mind some tips from someone you don't know . . . here are a few tweaks you might consider: (these are non-race, non-wet, open track options)
You're "pinching" turn 4 (left onto the very short...
I'm glad to see that they're trying to move forward with a GT350 fitment. I discussed this with them several months ago and emphasized our need for a 19" fitment to clear the brakes. FWIW, I joined the feeler list. One more needed for the $300.00 group buy discount.
As the title says, I'm looking for a set of the factory Recaros that were standard in the 2015-2016 Track Packs and Rs, or are now available in the 2017+ non-convenience cars.
I'm prepared to pay a reasonable shipping cost, or pick up within a 150 miles or so of Philadelphia.
Please PM me...
