So, in order to get more "affordable" performance driving times, I'm going to start doing some autocrosses. I love my track days, but I think the autocross avenue will allow me to play a little more with less cash outlay.
I used to autocross, but it was about 11 years ago in an old fox body...
Based on information I read on this forum, I decided to pull the dyno plug before heading out on track yesterday. As you can see below, I lost brakes going onto a couple of hot areas. It wasn't fun. After the 2nd "off", I replaced the plug and all went back to working fine.
I have confirmed...
So, after my last track day, car was running kinda rough. Drove the 2 hours home and then attempted to figure out what was going on as I never got a DTC/CEL.
After trying everyting I finally pulled plugs to find the 8 plug with a bent electrode. This intrigued me so I did compression and...
So I was at the track (HPDE) and when I pulled off, the car was running rough. Earlier in the day, I went off into grass but car was fine afterward. There was some grass dust in the air intake (stock) box and filter.
Now, it is running rough with strong exhaust fumes.
No DTC's, no CEL.

In these pics, driver side was at -2.1 and passenger at -1.9.
Even both set at -2.0, the tires don't seem to sit at the same orientation related to the fender lip and the strut tops are not equal.
Wheels are 18x11 +52 Apex EC7 with 25mm hubcentric slip-on spacers and 305/35/18 NT01's.
Since Hankook RS4's are on indefinite backorder, I'm looking at other tires.
Anyone have experience with these on our cars?
I would be using these for on way to/from track days and some events.
Heat tolerance?
Looking at 295/40/18 on 18x11 wheels.
I just installed these yesterday in 285/35/19 on 19x10 wheels from www.oewheelsllc.com. These will be my street wheels so I can free up my Forgestar c5 18x10 for sticky track tires. I have only driven the car a few miles, but so far, they seem good.
nyone else unable to update sync? Seems like my usb ports won't recognize anything. I've downloaded the update 2 different times to my thumb drive and the sync system won't recognize.
This started with my sync disconnecting from my phone (s8) randomly. Now it won't connect at all. The...
I wanted a new camera for track days so after talking to a few people I chose the Garmin Ultra 30 over a GoPro Hero 5. The deciding factor was the built in GPS and ability to record Gforces and OBD2 monitoring (via bluetooth/wireless dongle) through Garmin's GMetrix feature. The editing software...
I attended the TrackGuys event at TWS this past weekend. I had never been to the track since moving here last May.
I love the track. It was awesome. I know I have a lot to learn still and I left a lot on the track as far as time, but I'm happy with the 2:10 and was able to bring the car home...
