Hoosier Heaven...

[mmm635]

Getting ready for Road Atlanta this weekend and test out a few modifications done to the car - so far everything has been completely stock. I installed an Auto-Blip, new Ford OEM brake pads, Castrol SRF brake fluid, and some sticky Hoosiers (hands still hurting from mounting them!). I will have a rear camera installed this time to catch footage which tells the other half of the story, for lack of a better description.

I ordered some racing pads (KNS 16 up front and KNS 12 out back) but not sure they will get here in time before I leave for Atlanta. The stickier rubber and higher temp brake fluid are going to disintegrate the stock pads - but they do perform well.

Wow, I never even thought about putting my sunglasses in there. It's where I usually keep my OBDII dongle.

Please report back on the auto blip mod. Can you disable for daily driving? how adjustable are the parameter? I am really interested but would have to train my self not to manually rev-match, it is instinctive for me. Thanks for sharing!

I just put one in mine. very very cool! Quite a bit of adjustability. The only issue i see is with the 3-2 downshift. It naturally takes a fraction longer to make that downshift compared to say a 4-3, so the timing is a bit off. Otherwise a great upgrade!!!

You can keep it off for street driving, so no issue there....

lol! I never knew about it until I saw it in another thread. I knew exactly what was going in there.

Love it so far. It serves it's purpose.

Will do. Yes, it can be disabled.

I agree...it is a sweet device for the track oriented person.

295/35-19 F
315/30-19 R (No direct match for the rear)

ok. So the 315s fit well on the stock rims....

I've had an auto-blip for a couple years in my 93. It's excellent for what it is. I think some rev-match features (GT4 that I drove comes to mind) work a little more seamlessly in that it's enjoyable to use on the street. Auto-blip is either on or off. If it sees you push the brake and then the clutch, it activates and can give some odd-times blips if you're just driving around town. I only turned mine on for the track or if I am specifically wanting to play with the feature.

Yes. 305's would have been more difficult! I will take a pic of them later and post up.
