    Vent Cowl Cover?

    Vent Cowl Cover?

    I tried searching for this, but I don't exactly know what it is called. On the car behind the hood where the wipers are there is the big plastic cover, if you remove it do you guys think there will be an increase in heat reduction under the hood? Also would there be any issues not having it...

    Brake Dragging Sound in Reverse

    I never set the ebrake while I'm at the track. Sounded like something that didn't want to rotate or hadn't it a good while. I'm pretty positive it was the e-brake. Since @Apex3V commented I have yet to hear the noise again now that I'm paying more attention to the ebrake or not using it...

    Didn't even think to check that. Would explain why it doesn't happen every time. Thanks man.

    Brake Dragging Sound in Reverse

    After my last track day I have noticed sometimes when I put the car in reverse and start to back up it sounds like my driver rear brake is dragging. I haven't seen any issues with my actual caliper, or any oddities on my rotor. There are no issues braking at low speeds or high speeds. All the...

    Bumper mounted temp sensor.

    Mine has been destroyed for about a year now and only issue I've seen is it just reads 50 degrees on my display at all times.

    'Check Charging System' message...

    Don't want to hijack the thread but I've also seen this issue quite often with my 14 GT, but I haven't seen any crazy drops in voltage while the car is running. It happened first time earlier last year but ended up being the battery, but it came back after my last outing before COVID. Do you...

    Yeah I'm using centric blanks for a 13-14 brembo car. I had to use a washer between the spindle and caliper to center the caliper over the rotor. I wanted to pick up the 6 pots from the s550, but these 4 pots were pretty much given to me from a friend upgrading to the 6 pots.

    After some headaches with figuring out what brake lines to use and double checking fitting sizes, I was able to have some made by a friend. Came to the awesome realization after the lines were made that the s197s female to hardline fitting was m10x1 which is what I ordered, but the banjo bolt...
