- EF1 replied to the thread MCA 50th anniversary track days @ Road Atlanta.Not sure if MCA has rental helmets or not. Hans is optional but highly recommended if using harnesses. Most hans are not compatible with oem seatbelts. The Simpson hybtid S is but kind of expensive. (see full post)
backflip99 replied to the thread MCA 50th anniversary track days @ Road Atlanta.Here's a couple more noob questions for you. I'm reading thru the MCA event rules document and see that a helmet is required. They don't mention rentals, so I'm guessing they won't have them on hand and I need to purchase one? Note: Please don't... (see full post)
If you haven't purchased yet you might go with the 660+ instead.......easier tire to drive on for someone new as they telegraph much better and will be faster. Sure, they will wear faster but some drivers find the 615s to be rather uncommunicative.- TeeLew replied to the thread CCW wheels.Vroom. (see full post)

Like.Another S550 build. One lesson leaned, my braided brake lines from the previous GT500 calipers in that the lines are not compatible. Had to replace those for the 550 Brembos.

- Slow3v replied to the thread Splitter Support Rods?.If you need a new splitter, Kona, I can hook you up with a gentleman that makes them (factory reproductions). They're priced fair IMO, and made with the same material as OEM (1/4" ABS) - one side smooth, one textured. He has both WC and LS.I... (see full post)

backflip99 replied to the thread MCA 50th anniversary track days @ Road Atlanta.Man, I'd love to come down for the ALS fundraiser, but I've got to watch my expenses too so I'll probably be making my maiden voyage on the track in August. (see full post)
- 665.0coupe replied to the thread S197 2005 GT.I already have the 615+. I considered the 660+, but they were more expensive. Another benefit to the 660+ that was pointed out to me by a friend, is that they can be flipped on the wheel to get a little more life out of them.Once I wear out... (see full post)

- EF1 reacted to Tim.ocon's post in the thread What did you do to your Boss 302 or S197 today? with Like.Not quite today but Sunday-Installed 3.73 gears, T2 Torsen and 1 piece aluminum driveshaft into my 2014 V6 as well as some regular track prep, new pads, rotor scuff and put 1L of brake fluid through the system!
- 665.0coupe replied to the thread S197 2005 GT.I haven't run the spec tire yet. Since I'm just starting out, I decided to go with Falken RT-615's since they are cheaper and I figured I would be burning though them while learning. (see full post)

ArizonaBOSS replied to the thread Splitter Support Rods?.These are the way to go if you need replacement in the future: https://www.professionalawesome.com/product/professional-awesome-splitter-support-rods/ (see full post)-
To my knowledge, there's basically 3 options out there: 1. The original splitter support, pn: M-17A626-MB. 2. The tubular front bumper/tow hook, pn: M-17757-MB 3. Blowfish/SVE Tow HookAs I'm sure you're aware, the original bracket is basically...
Kona replied to the thread Splitter Support Rods?.Absolutely, happy to help! I spent too long scouring marketplace for a Blowfish hook before I found the SVE. Best of luck, I'm in a similar boat, I've got the hook, currently sourcing a new blade. (see full post)
