  1. The Big Fat Track Car Cooling Thread

    Sorry for the stupid question, but what is 'boxing your radiator?' Guessing, maybe keeping cold (as possible) air hitting the radiator using low thermal conductivity parts to channel the available airflow?
  2. The Big Fat Track Car Cooling Thread

    How many people are in the group of people that had the car go wrench mode? I found the line at Thunderhill trying to finish a hot lap. It kind of sucked but hey, with great power comes great cooling requirements.
  3. The Big Fat Track Car Cooling Thread

    Grr.. In a bad mood.... Am I wrong to say that the car was not made to withstand temperature impacts when under harsh conditions? Did what I thought would do a lot to avoid overheating for just a chap that's trying to have some fun. (Lizardskin thermal coating on intake parts/Exhaust wrap...
  4. The Big Fat Track Car Cooling Thread

    I'm not sure I can let this go totally! (just having fun) The thermal conductivity or heat transfer rate of copper is 92% versus aluminum which is approximately 49% Heat will radiate outward despite a bunch of airflow, am I wrong? So if heat from the radiator / whatever heat source - is boxed...

    Thanks! Always been a fan of thermal conductivity, to my embarrassment!
  6. The Big Fat Track Car Cooling Thread

    Pardon the intrusion. Would copper vs. aluminum boxing be potentially beneficial? Very heat conductive..? Wondering if there may have been some research or comparison, or people's opinions. Cheers

    That looks like a fun turn... at 11 :)

    looks like Willow Springs short course
  9. In a fever of upgrades

    Its in my garage with my other two track cars, all of which have dead batteries because of the pandemic. Thanks for asking :)
  10. In a fever of upgrades

    Nice! Upgrades to safety are the best! Is that 4-point system that you retired the one I have? (Schroth.. It was a nice upgrade from the 3 point but I get how it might not work for submarine in a catastrophic crash)

    Installed a child seat under the rear seats? :) With a latch?! :) JK..
  12. In a fever of upgrades

    I want to thank you. Thank you! Nice!
  13. In a fever of upgrades

    Not sure why the file name is incorrect.
  14. In a fever of upgrades

    One thing I feel motivated to say. All these "race" movies (Ford vs. Ferrari, Speed, all others and etc.) they show the drivers going ten tenths and looking sideways at competitors for like a full second or two. That's not how it goes.

    Heck of an evolution on the car! Looks.... shiny! Very nice.

    Awww... I'm not OP anymore. /relief

    Some guy at a Firestone overtorqued lugnuts in response to my questioning what how he screwed up his work. Random comment ftw!
