I'll be unable to test the tire at the track until end of July/early August. WIll be tied up with things until then. I believe you will need a small spacer to run a 285/35/18 squared. But I'll confirm.
With the EC-7, I would imagine you would need at least a 1/4" spacer up front to run a...
Why don't you ask me? I'm a SoCal track guy.
Like I said above, RE71R is the best performing street tire on track. Bar none. This does not include any new 2017 compounds that I'm not aware of.
Best grip, moderately stiff sidewalls, good heat handling for a street tire and excellent...
I completely agree with you. Most people on here are making statements without first hand knowledge. RE71R do not overheat anymore than any other Extreme Summer tire. In fact they are better than a Hankook RS-3 in terms of handling heat. They are not quite as good as AD08R but they are at...
I've chunked a set of brand new MPSS at Autoclub Speedway in the 1st session! I was late for first session in my M3 and forgot to change to track wheels. :(
MPSS is NOT a high performance tire.
MPSS is said to be a very good street performance tire and that's about it. I personally...
I'll be mounting some Hankook RS-4 285/35/18 and Hankook Z214 medium compound 275/35/18 on my 2 sets of EC-7 and will snap some photos shortly!

I have silver sparkle pp wheels with OEM sized Continental DW with less than 500 miles on the tires/wheels/OEM TPMS.
But I'm in CA and you would have to cover shipping. PM me if interested.
Car shifts so much smoother (on track and on street) with BG Synchro vs OEM trans fluid. So to me that means the moving parts are better lubricated and can withstand the heat better.
Also BG 5W30 has given me excellent wear on track (confirmed by Blackstone Labs).
Also I haven't...
Hey All,
I suck at this and I don't have photos from the various stages of my build but here are the list of mods and the most recent photos of my Oxford White S550 GT 5.0 Manual.
Before the photos, I'd like to give a shout out to the shop that helped me with this track car build...
I cannot comment on quality of Trufiber. I've never used Trufiber.
I went with @andersoncomposites after doing a lot of research.
Anderson Composites and APR are pretty good.
I've also used Varis and Voltex for wings & splitters and their products are phenomenal.
So I can only...
Most carbon fiber on this forum is wet carbon fiber. Dry carbon fiber is what OEM's and race teams use. They are the stiffest, strongest and lightest form of carbon fiber. Also it is by far the most expensive.
Carbon Fiber, though strong, isn't stronger than that cement parking block in...
I'd go but have a baby due in 2 weeks!
I love Laguna Seca. The food in Monterey is awesome and just love the scenery.
I'll have to wait till the end of the year to get any more seat time. =(
I'm contemplating selling my OEM PP Wheels in sparkle silver with 255/40/19 and 275/40/19 Continental DW tires. Wheels and tires have less than 350 miles on them.
Like new condition.
Includes center caps and TPMS valve stems.
ASKING PRICE: $1,150. Buyer pays paypal fees if paid by paypal...
Which exhaust is the loudest? Corsa Xtreme, Borla ATAK or AWE Track Edition?
I have a FRPP Borla Sport + GT350 diffuser. I want to add more volume. I do care about refined sound but need more volume.
It's so hard to tell by videos. But between Corsa Xtreme, ATAK, AWE Track and FRPP...
Hey All,
I have an @andersoncomposites GT350R style CF wing and had installation questions.
For those of you that track and have this wing, did you simply bolt your wing to the stock trunk or did you add any extra metal plates to give mounting location more heft?
Last thing i want is...
I was told it was only about 5 lbs lighter. I didn't weigh it but when I hold up the hood bolted to the hinge, it feels paper light compared to stock aluminum hood. I know the stock hood is about 30 lbs which is freaking heavy. This has to be somewhere between 15-20 lbs. It's way lighter. I...
