    New S550/GT350/GT500 Roll Bar from Competition Motorsport

    Got it! We're working on an S197 roll bar and will do our best to eliminate any need for trim destruction. We'll keep you posted here on the forum.

    Coz, not sure what you mean by "no-trim". Can you clarify for me?

    OIL and fluids FOR THE TRACK

    You're welcome! Unfortunately, the only good solution for high oil temps is a bigger and/or more efficient cooler.

    OIL and fluids FOR THE TRACK

    Agree 100%, Motul RBF600 has a dry boiling point similar to Castrol SRF, but a much lower wet boiling point -- the worst of both worlds. There are two good ways to go on racing brake fluid: first is SRF, which has a high wet boiling point but low dry b.p. That means it doesn't resist fade as...

    OIL and fluids FOR THE TRACK

    Flyhalf, our experience with automatic transmissions is switching fluid usually does either nothing or is worse. In our race cars with AT, for example, (dirt track cars that use race-prepped auto trans), we use regular off-the-shelf transmission fluid. Factory fluid is what we'd recommend...

    New S550/GT350/GT500 Roll Bar from Competition Motorsport

    Thanks, Byron. You're correct, you don't trim interior panels at all. In fact, you don't have to remove them, but it makes it easier not to scuff them up when putting the roll bar in (and they're super-easy to remove). The mounts to the sub-structure are in a reinforced area of the rear tub, and...

    New S550/GT350/GT500 Roll Bar from Competition Motorsport

It is a bolt-in four-point roll bar made from Docol R8, a modern ultra-high-strength steel that surpasses 4130 CrMo in every respect. It is fully...

    OIL and fluids FOR THE TRACK

    We use Driven Racing gear oil (75w-85) in both customer race/track cars and our own race cars, with excellent results. Generally, diff temps are a little lower (8-10 deg F) than with an over-the-counter synthetic 75W-90 gear oil. It stands up to extreme heat better than OTC oils, and used-oil...

    OIL and fluids FOR THE TRACK

    1. Your oil capacity (including filter) is 10 quarts. Going to a 50-weight oil for track duty will work, but that's fairly heavy for daily street use in an engine designed around 20-30 weight oil use. A good 30- or 40-weight oil is a better idea. We use Driven oil in all of our track-day and...

    Anyone using Girodisc's rotors?

    We have been using Girodisc rotors for years in Porsche racing with excellent results. We have many customers using them on cars as varied as the Mustang Boss 302, Corvette C7 Z06 and Z07 (ceramic brake replacements), Porsche GT3/GT3RS and Cayman GT4, McLaren 650S, and Ferrari 458/488. Girodisc...
