    S197 3V Fabman's build; How did we get here?

    Figuring out what you want is really the easy part. Figuring out how to pay for it is harder. But even that is not that hard. Especially for the smart guys out there. And guys, don’t worry Sal will never leave this.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    S197 3V Fabman's build; How did we get here?

    Hey Fabman, you’ll figure it out. You know you will never quit this so might as well not entertain the idea. I’ve been out for a while, but personally I won’t quit until I am either dead or riddled with dementia.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Let's Talk Aero

    Mine goes to the front axle. And attaches to the K member bolts. Going back behind there it becomes interesting because of the oil pan. I think accompanying for the oil pan and the compromises needed would negate the lengthening of the splitter. But I could totally be wrong on that.Sent from...

    Middle of turn four,second apex which is about 100 miles an hour. Turn 8 is about 150, so you’re right.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Rental Trailers

    I race motorcycles. Sliding out equals:Not just a spin in the dirt. Walked away fine but bike did not.

    Buttonwillow Raceway Park CW13 Track Guide

    Here is one of my sessions. Un-edited, sorry.105* out and tires going bad, so I guess it could be a video on how to drive 13CW in low grip conditions.

    WTB: Used up but legal street tires

    I am still looking for a set of street legal tires for 18 inch wheels that someone is getting rid of but still able to be driven for short periods of time.Bald is fine, just no cords. Anything DOT legal.I am in Orange County, CA.

    How much weight have you lost?

    My car is track only and every single thing is stripped out of that car that is not for performance or safety. I’m at 3145 pounds with a half a tank of gas. I could lose another 200 or 300 pounds, but I’d also be losing about 10 grand. I might be able to lose about 60 or 80 pounds for around...

    Tire Warmers

    On my motorcycle, that is definitely the case. Race tires are like riding on ice until warm. One wrong move with cold tires and whoosh and you high side. I have seen most crashes happen in the first or second lap. That being said, I have been racing motorcycles for 20 years. I run racing DOT...

    Track Brake Pads - G-LOC vs Hawk

    Food for thought: I got @Fabman brake ducts (Got them so figured I would test them). I got them in 3 inch since I do not have the 4 inch inlet. I went to a place where I could and did 5 consecutive 0 - 100 - 0 runs back to back using old ****** brand (do not want to smear anyone). I then...

    Tire Warmers

    For what it's worth. A friend and I made a DIY muffler that works amazing. Often we even wondered if the thing was running. Google DIY generator muffler and there are a million ideas.It helps that I was consulting for Magnaflow at the time so had free access to all materials I needed.

    Tire Warmers

    Generator may not be too feasible but then again you can get a 4000 running watt for $450 or 7000 for $700. Most tracks have electricity, so I do not see this as a big deal. I need a generator anyway.I use jack stands and if it even takes me 15 minutes, it would be worth it. But, that's just...

    Tire Warmers

    I wonder about the Chinese ones on eBay for $500. They seem to have very good feedback and reviews. US brands are 4 times that. I use Chicken Hawk for my motorcycle. Had them for almost 10 years. But they are much cheaper than car ones.I get my bike ones on the tires is 5 minutes. So, car...
