I'd like inexpensive wheels that are cheap to buy so I won't have a freak out if they get damaged. Steelies are good for this because you can straighten them if slightly bent. And steel is pretty strong. As far as weight, you'll always have the folks that will balk at all this unsprung weight...

Hi, I've been unable to find steel wheels for our Mustangs. I'm looking for cheap trackday steelies. Do these exist? 18X10's preferable.

Doesn't E85 corrode components that are not designed for E85? You know, like fuel lines, etc?

Because then you can build your PP to the spec you want. :bolt:

Made it through the Boston winter last year on the factory all seasons. The car handled it ok. I'll be purchasing some Blizzaks this year. Common sense and a light touch on the throttle will get you far in the snow. Drive it year round and enjoy every moment!!

I'm going to the COM event in Tamworth and at NHMS in October. I'm also running Palmer again in September with PCA.

^^^^^^ This. Good point. Different manufacturers kind of build to different head shapes. Some are more oval, some are not.

I guess it would. It depends on the thickness of the balaclava. Best bet would be to get the balaclava you like, then go try on the helmets while wearing it.

Yes, helmets will break in. The padding will compress slightly over time. Always go with a snug fit - but it should not be so tight as to make you pass out!

Glad I got the automatic. I use the paddle shifters on the road course and it works great. I don't get these guys on this forum that get M/T on this car that they are going to drag race. Road course, different story. I've had M/T cars as daily drivers in the past -and I've been driving a...

^^^^^^^^ Lol - It does make you pee the first time you feel this on the track. But the car does grip. ^^^^^^ Hi BMR, will the above trimming of the bumpstop help me not to pee when I go into a fast corner? :headbonk: I've upgraded struts and shocks installed with base GT springs...

Check out RLI track day insurance. Agreed value coverage.

Negative on the sandwich plate rotation. The oil cooler lines connect to it. It can rotate a little but not enough to make a difference.

Agree with looking at the oil temps in the pan, or also on the other line on the oil cooler where the hot oil is going in. The sandwich plate has two places where you can put a sensor. The hot side port is too close to the alternator, so I don't think I can fit a sensor. If the oil pan had a...

Glad the rain held off. Definitely thinking about doing the COM club Motorsports event. Have fun at the Glenn. Might try that event next year.

So, trackday at Palmer Motorsports Park, about 78 ambient. Humid. Oil temp is measured by a sender at the sandwich plate on the engine inlet side. This is the oil temp after it passes through the Mishimoto oil cooler and is on its way into the engine. At the end of a 20 minute session, the oil...

Yup, I was at Palmer yesterday as well. Good time for sure. I assume you were in the black GT. I stopped by by you were away. I was in the red GT.

Ha-- just realized I posted this already---apologies!!

I just installed a Mishi oil cooler, thermostatic sandwich plate, Mishi radiator, and an autometer oil temp gauge for a track day this Saturday. I'll post oil temp actuals after the event. The autometer gauge came paired with a temp sender, so I'm hoping it will be true.

Yup, still scarce. A lot of Miatas (those things fly), and Porsche folks. PCA is very popular up here with events often filling up quickly. BMWCCA is big up here as well.
