Curious about tire wear at these two tracks.

I plan to do 4 track days in a row this year and I don't want to change oil until after I return home. I run 40wt oil and CHT is under control at 228F. I drive hard enough for the oil life to be gone by noon the second day. Will a Blackstone UOA show a drop in viscosity afterwards? It is...

I just don't get this 5-year certification thing for helmets. Maybe someone can enlighten us with some inside information. I mean, when I think about it ... Okay, maybe helmets somehow "expire". Maybe the foam gets dry and can no longer fully protect from a hard impact. Maybe it is corporate...

How did you handle cutting the underside layer? The under layer is close to the top layer in some areas but spaced away by a centimeter in others. Was the "3D landscape" challenging to cut out?

I have not inspected things up close while disassembled. But I don't get how the BMR CB005 locks out the subframe any different than how the OEM plate holds onto it and secures it with the two bolts to the body. The CB762 makes more sense to me, since it grabs onto the subframe directly...

Swapping wheel studs using a ball joint press

Here is a technique to press out your own wheel studs using a ball joint press. I borrowed the ball joint press. (Since I use it at other points on the car I bought one at a special sale price from Harbor Freight.) I also borrowed and then later purchased a tie rod tool (OEM Saginaw Tie Rod...

I inflicted some hairline scratches in my dash bezel. Suggestions on how to deal with this?

Opening OEM grille cells with router technique

For maximum air intake on track days, I have opened virtually all the grille cells in my GT PP1 grille. This was also to save money over purchasing an aftermarket grille, and to keep the OEM look. I used my Bosch Colt 1/4" router and the Bosch offset base. I call this base a "flushing" or...

Every time I start my car, I see this screen. Another clue is that rear camera delay keeps getting switched off. I assume there may be other user settings that return to defaults as well. What's going on here?
