The install instructions for that should be on Watson racing website. The most difficult thing in my opinion was getting the trim panels trimmed to fit, but the instructions give some details about how to make that happen.
I have done both the Garmin and track addict with my HP tuners doing the data logging. For NASA TT events or HPDE track days I like the simplicity of the Garmin, but I dont get the data log from the car to go with it.
I never knew it was a potential issue for the engine always just assumed it was a HP issue as to why people run the higher octane fuel on track. If it has to do with engine temp my car has had excessive mods for engine cooling, since I started pounding on my car hard, so that may be the...
I run both regular and premium, depending if its a fun track day or a NASA TT weekend. For TT I want all the HP I can get, but the cost is just not worth it on a open track day. I have 7500ish track miles on my car and there has been no ill effect of running regular gas.
The Aluma trailer I had was a real nice option for the price. It was different than the one above, in that mine did not have the extra step of the ramps, but I can see where that would probably improve the approach angle. I also had to lay down 2x lumber to get the nose up a little before...
Yes, if the wheel bearing has allowed the rotor to have play, and the pressure from the weight of the vehicle pressing it to one side then it will rub on the brakes more than it its standing up straight. Both times it has happened to me on my mustang I was able to notice a slight bit more brake...
I use Motul 660 in the brakes change it out about every 6 months with a little of it blead off and replaced at each track event prep.
As for engine oil I use 10w30 Amsoil race oil and only swap it when the computer tells me to. That monitor does not go by miles it uses some kind of algorithm...
Mine is 24” fender to bottom of the wheel on 18” wheels both front and rear. It probably could use slightly more rake so I would say the 24” front 24.25” rear would be a spot on place to start.
I will check tonight but I believe mine is set at 5" to meet NASA standard, and with -3 camber on the front I am just fine. Any lower than this and the geometry of the suspension is not correct and will induce some bump steer and other set up relate issues. In your case running MCS coil overs...
Any chance you want a set of 19x11” Apex EC-7 in satin black with federal 595rs-pro tires with one track day on the tires. Tires are 305/30/19 square and they are for my S550 mustang. This was my first set of track wheels, then I changed to 18” for dry track tires and I’m looking for a set of...
I have had failures on the front ones 2 different times. In both cases it caused excessive brake pedal travel, which on track leads to a lack of confidence in your brakes. With the bearing failing it causes slop in that wheel which causes the rotor to push slightly on the brake pads when not...
I run the McLoud RXT in mine, since the factory one flew apart on a Time trial weekend. It would be a little harsh on the street but with probably 30 track days on it, I would do it again for this application.
Only time rain was a real sketchy issue was when it was actively raining and water was flowing across the track. There were 3 or 4 spots like that, and any painted surface but I thought they did a decent job.
I figured I would post back to this with more info on what I have found with these tires. Just like other reviews I have read online these tires seam to wear like steel. I now have 7 days of competing in NASA TT with these tires and they are still on pace with anything I have had so far at the...
This was my thinking all along, and so far it has not been an issue. I got a 3:73 diff from a PP car on ebay for less money than the parts to add diff cooler, so I went with the, will replace it if it fails approach. Since my car is a base model it did not have the temp sensor in the diff so...
I was also thinking warped rotors or bad wheel bering assuming no air in line and good fluid. With either of these you will have the pads pushed into the caliper between press's on the brake and it will cause more brake pedal travel.
