Will you be using the stock fuel tank? I don't know if your sanctioning rules require OE fuel storage. Sweet build!

Agreed. And, the weight is pretty reasonable for a 19x11 wheel: ~ 25lbs

Forgestar CF5V.

Now you tell me . . . :doh: I think the problem with the rears was removing the hubs to begin with.

I eventually went with the OE offsets for the rear (19x11), and use a 25 mm hub-centric space for the fronts, and replaced all of the stock studs with 3" studs (not sure whether swapping in R hubs would've been easier). I chose not to do the stud work, and was grimly informed that the rear stud...

Generally, you can use the camera of your choice; strong suction cup mounts are available for the Go Pro, Smarty Cam, AIM Solo, and so on. But, if you're planning to use a smartphone track data app, such as Harry's Lap Timer, you might consider using a camera that is compatible with the app so...

You've got most of the basics covered. I'll also suggest bringing a notebook for details, thoughts, notes, etc. It can help to keep track of conditions, tire pressures and / or temps, etc. Effective driving is as much about the details, as it is about the feel of the car. And, car numbers...

Sometimes we hear what we want to . . . :D

No need for wheel chocks: leave the car in gear after you shut it off. Lots of good advice so far. Do you have a helmet yet? You may be able to borrow one, but I suggest finding on that fits you well--not too tight, not too loose--that has enough room to fit a communicator ear piece that an...

I'm going to take exception to this as a generalized statement. Yes, it is true that that "tech pack" cars were not equipped with transmission or diff coolers, and, yes, it is true that IF you track your car on a road course without a tranny cooler (or sufficient transmission cooling such as a...

It's a sticky thread: FORScan Tweaks.

Search the Forscan tweaks thread. The process is explained in there.

Short answer: Yes. Longer answer: It depends on the "race" compound. You want to balance the pad performance front to rear, which you can do in this case by sticking with a track / race compound that's mildly more aggressive than OE. Find something like a GLOC 12 compound for the front...

You don't need to replace the rotors just to change pad compounds: use a scotch brite pad to lightly scour/scuff off the existing pad material, and install the new pads.

Agreed with CSL: you change pads when necessary. With the OE pads, I'm one set of rears per three sets of fronts. It may be worthwhile, however, the check your wear rates inside to out, and left to right, to see your wear patterns. I have not been getting even wear on the rears, and that...

End of season track attacks!

Not much help to those looking for pads at the moment, but, having worked through several sets, I've noticed that the metal wear bar represents about 40%-50% of the actual pad thickness. The front pads particularly are relatively thin, and the bar is located at the end which is beveled and...

:thumbsup:

You might try another dealer (lots in Cali), K-MansParts, eBay, etc.
