I'd follow nightmares advice. Get a little harder tire like the Firestone, go have fun and learn the car and good technique, d velop skills, then just to a 200 tw tire. The car will driver exactly the same, just more. More grip, more speed, more turning.
Better to learn the car on something...
Nah, I haven't looked real hard TBH, ours down here is in Louisiana, and it shows out of stock with no expected date for more. I've got 20 runs on falkens, so I got some time. But I may throw SC3s on and do some track days if none pop up soon.
Black touch up paint and find a touch-less tire changer next go round. I gladly pay more for quality equipment and techs who give a shit about their job.
Sorry you have to deal with it. It sucks, but apart from babysitting them to do it right, not much you can do now.
I would think hood vents or splitter ramps would be more advantageous, but it's also one of those thing where all the little bits you do add up to a significant change. Do it if is what you want to try.
That said, what springs/spring rates are you running up front? When I jumped from the FP...
Are you tracking your car? If so, it's one of those things that helps bleed the high pressure created by the spinning wheel at high speeds. Ideally, that canard sticks out past the front wheel to allow for plenty of area for the high pressure to bleed out around the wheel.
Another option is to...
Agree 100%. IMO, I think, after meeting a few organizers myself, they only want to see high end cars, and that domestics are beneath their "show". It will be the downfall of the program, as every gearhead I know that now has a P-car or better started by wrenching on a Mustang, Camaro, or some...
All redtops are AGM. I just sort of assumed all modern batteries are AGM these days.
Mine works fine, no issues.
BMS - Car on, not running, pull blinker 5 times, press brake 3 times, battery light should flash. Your owners manual also describes this process.
I am local to Houston and used to attend quite often. I will try to keep this short and explain the situation. This whole mess started with Covid, when we had the meets in an old mall parking lot. Where it was, TBH, it was fairly safe for the stupid to happen (believe it or not), and police were...
Even CR-S's are approaching $500/tire. I heard through the grapevine that Houston is about to get a supplier, about 5 miles from my house. Hoping this guy is lower than Phil...
Makes sense. My experience has been to empty the catch can every other oil change, and there really is no more oil than my Hellcat had.
Lot's of good information there.
No idea if it's true, but my experience, I can run 8-10 AutoX events and if I stay below 7600 ish rpms, it consumes no oil. This last weekend, one course was 1/3 above that 7600, the other above 1/4 if you hit it right, and I burned/consumed a little less than half a quart.
On my track day, day...
Picked up that trailer in my photograph. Love it. I still need 2x12's to load the car, but if I was stock, it would load no problem. The only thing I am considering adding is a different tie down mechanism because the straps you see there allow a little play. I can crank down on the P-brake, but...
I sure some other folks saw on the CAMC thread here, but I wanted to put an update into my build thread for results at this last weekends Pro Solo in Beeville, TX. After my last local event in February, I realize my Falkens, with about 60 runs on them, had lost a lot of grip. I was beaten by FS...
Look for the tires you want, then decide the width.
IMO, I would install AJ hartmans coil over conversion and gain ride height increase that way (Raise the front 1/8", lower the rear 1/4") you end up with a nose that is significantly higher than stock, with an evened out wheel gap. I would...
