Good woman you got there...

Nope...still my daily driver. Took it to the track 5 times this year, though. Just passed 112,000 miles on my way to work this morning. I have a bad driver's side rear wheel bearing that I plan on replacing over the holiday weekend. As much as I love it, to be honest, it's not a great track...

I will have to try this. Replacing the parking brake cable on one side of the car did not completely fix the problem. Thanks.

Yes Please. More pictures, more details!

Do you have a build sheet? I would love to know what all you have done to this car.

yes. I stand corrected.

Your point is well taken and maybe I mis-stated how this is working for me. I am exploring car control. At some point I hope to change to a grippier tire, but still maintain the same car control and dynamics, that's where I'll find real speed.

Sliding is actually faster. Understand that there is a distinction. We're not talking about the wild power-slides frequently seen on Top Gear or Ken Blocks Gymkhana with wheels spinning and clouds of tire smoke. But a well controlled 4 wheel drift. The 4-wheel drift can actually be a faster...

Something happened on the way to work this morning... I bought the car new from a dealership in February of 2015 and she has been my daily driver ever since. I have loved this car the moment I bought. She's just gorgeous. In 2016, I took her to a road course, the first time for me in any...

I do not have my old calipers. I had to return them for a core charge. I changed the front pads at least 4 times over the life of the car, and there was always some difference in the inside to outside pad wear. Nothing that I found alarming, call it 10%-20% difference. I'm pretty sure that's...

Oohh...Pretty. You will be thrilled. Totally worth the time, effort and expense.

My real world experience is that there is no discernible issue with using the non-PP brake master cylinder. Multiple track days without a single issue and these were fairly high speed tracks like Mid-Ohio (127mph) and Gingerman (119mph). I can say with an amount of certainty that swapping the...

I did not need the PP master cylinder. Works just fine. There may be a minute difference between the to, but to my experience, I can't tell if there is any greater effort with the non-PP master cylinder.

Some clear plastic tubing from Home Depot and a Gatorade bottle (just my favorite, not required) work just as well as the pressure bleeder, even by yourself. The upgrade to the 6 piston was super simple. I replaced the wheel hubs at the same time. It was basically the hub nut, 2 caliper...

This is my 18" wheel with a 1" spacer installed. It still looks extremely tight, but extremely tight is not touching so I'm going with it. These were the cheapest rims that Tire Rack sold as a winter wheel and tire package. At the time of purchase I didn't see any problem going forward. Then...

Upper rear shock mounts can fail and should be checked for any excess movement. Wheel bearings need close monitoring, as stated above, especially the rear. These are the only 2 items I've had any problem with after years at the track.

This... I recently switched from the 4 piston calipers to the 6 piston Brembos. To be honest, in my application, mostly HPDE, 3 - 5 days a year, the 4 pistons were remarkably adequate in most situations. I experienced brake fade only once, and never again after updating pads and fluid. That...

I replaced all 4 hubs about a month ago...call it general maintenance, and only the front hubs had thrust washers.
