Like.Replaced the OEM diff cover with a Ford Performance finned special. Didn't realize I would need to drop the panhard bar for it to fit. Remembered I had to drop the stabilizer bar to drop the panhard bar. Drove to the speed shop to buy longer...
backflip99 reacted to EF1's post in the thread MCA 50th anniversary track days @ Road Atlanta with Like.I went and looked at the event page. It says limited classroom and lead/follow.

They had 5-6 instructor cars with 4-6 students behind...- EF1 replied to the thread Super Puzzling Clutch Hydraulics Issue - HELP!.In my case when it stuck I had to shut the car off and restart it to restore function.

- EF1 replied to the thread Super Puzzling Clutch Hydraulics Issue - HELP!.In my case there was no leak. It worked fine below 7200 rpm. Over that it stuck to the floor. It was not a hydraulic issue. The clutch was not strong enough to return it at higher rpms. (see full post)
- RushB replied to the thread Super Puzzling Clutch Hydraulics Issue - HELP!.If it's a mechanical/clutch issue, were you able to determine how that root cause was causing the clutch hydraulic system itself to lose pressure and require pumping? (see full post)
- EF1 replied to the thread Super Puzzling Clutch Hydraulics Issue - HELP!.Replace the clutch. My 2011 behaved exactly the same after bumping the rev limiter up to 7500. The clutch looked fine. A new clutch and slave cylinder fixed everything. (see full post)

DAVECS1 replied to the thread CCW wheels.After loosing a bead on the back straight at Autobahn. I immediately understood the value if a well made wheel.

I've been a sim racing guy for the better part of 25 years, so I know the track layout like the back of my hand. I absolutely understand that isn't a replacement for real world driving, but...-

backflip99 reacted to steveespo's post in the thread MCA 50th anniversary track days @ Road Atlanta with Like.At Ozarks I thought they had instructors but I could be wrong. Thanks for correction Eric. If no instructor, I recommend having someone experienced ride with any Novice, new to Road Atlanta driver. It is not a place to just "find your way around"...

Bill Pemberton reacted to Fabman's post in the thread S197 3V Fabman's build; How did we get here? with Like.Boy, I'll say.....Look at the spelling on the side of the car. It's supposed to read "SPECFAB Racing.com" and "ADTEK inc" and "ITE/AIX"
