Thanks for the correction Ian.

That must be a long straight, at VIR (in Virginia, US) we have a 3000' back straight and the Z06's are only hitting 140 or so but it's from a fairly slow corner. Your car must be making some good power, I'm usually able to see 120 maybe a little more if I push braking a little deeper. You...

It might be that crappy asphalt (I'm used to the same in VA :) ) You know the mk3 has variable toe, could that be adding to what you're talking about. At least it does if you've still got the pivot bushing in place on LCA #2. Then again, that wouldn't effect patch, just slip angle and...

Thanks for all the info, this is some very helpful stuff. -1.0 to 1.1 camber up front was all I could get as well, still running more rear camber (although -1.5 seems better than the -2.0 I used previously) JB weld must be stronger than I thought ;) Ah, you setup the Hunter for a custom model...

It'll depend on ride height. 275's look like they'll fit on my setup, might have to check yours since the mk4 wheel offset is closer in (mine are 17x10 + 35) not sure of the offset you have. On the front I test fit the rears (255 width) and the outside of the tire was just hitting the fender...

Nice job staying calm and arcing off, not cutting the wheel or anything. Shame you lost brakes but that's why the traps are there :) First watch (without sound) I thought you just completely missed your brake point and locked up at turn-in. Car looked good and it looks like a fun track. Was...

Sorry to hear how the last session ended up Shane but glad you're ok and hopefully you can get the frame straight and get back out. Nice driving, you look smooth and very fast out there. That track looks like a challenge, lots of close walls and not much runoff room, maybe I'm just used to the...

I'm in for karting as long as my schedule allows. Any dates yet? Brian

I have mine set soft (Buddy Club) thinking it'll help offset the high rates but haven't tried the stiff settings. Stiffer can increase feedback (feel) making them seem more planted but I don't think it's always the case. Also I'd really doubt the settings are equal corner to corner. Probably...

OK, for those that aren't using the sensor but have a Koyo rad. what did you use for a plug? I'm not finding anything to use for it online. Thanks

Is there a better section for this, maybe general section? I don't see a cooling specific section.

Hey folks, I have a 7m but noticed that the koyo racing radiator has a port for a temp. sensor for the 1j engine. Can anyone tell me the thread size? I was wondering if I could use this rad. and an adaptor to install the sensor for an aftermarket temp gauge. Also does it come with a plug in case...

I suspect the same guru but will be taking the Azenis to their first full track event next weekend. They're undersized for the weight 9235/255) so may overheat but are pretty hard now so may do ok. The S03's really didn't get greasy as they heated slower, depends on how hard you push them. I'd...

I wouldn't ever shift to 1st, it's very hard on many things (synchros, mounts, etc) as you know 1st is pretty short in these cars and once you get the flow of things, you won't need to any any SCCA/NASA style course. Luckily, you've got an I-6 with decent torque to help out in those lower rev...

My name is Brian and I'm addicted to motorsports.... I've been autoxing for a few years and have done several track events. Here's my current setup: Bolt on engine stuff (IC, piping, exhaust, injectors, ecu, MBC-14psi), Buddyclub coilovers (18k/10k-1000lb/600lb), front Tanabe swaybar, rear...

I think that's an very optimistic view Duane, some companies will sell a 'carbon' hood that's really fiberglass, etc covered in a layer of c/f or even painted for effect. Hood weights can very tremendously so I was asking if anyone had dealt with other various brands. Understood Gemini is not...

No one has an idea on other brand's weight? Sounds like Gemini is not doing business, at least not now. This is strictly for weight reduction which is why I ask.

Does anyone know the weights on some of these hoods (VIS, etc?) I don't see this info listed and want to make sure any of these would be worthwhile.

Yeah, you've got more grip than me and more braking power. You're talking about rotor face? I blue/gold most of the rotor when breaking them in and with only 3 events my fronts have many stress cracks, still have good pedal pressure the entire sessions though (25 min. sessions on 3.27 mi. 18...

Same front rear/widths 1J? I wonder if my wider rears make those pads wear less quickly? I'm sure you're seeing much higher speeds than me, longer stretches and you've got more power (I'm probably 300-320 bhp, maybe 270-80 whp?) FWIW, I don't even use the fancy fluids just good, purpose...
