blacksheep-1 replied to the thread Trackday tire decision.I'm a slick tire guy, but I do have some experience with the Goodyear Spencer's in WRL. We ran a 12 hour race..or maybe 8, it's been awhile, and those Goodyears were putting down the same lap times at the end, as at the start. I would recommend... (see full post)-

blacksheep-1 reacted to TeeLew's post in the thread Advice on setting up my car for gain confidence with Like.I was speaking about forces, not clicks when saying 25/75%. There are several different ways at providing adjustment on a damper. It's tough to know whether your adjuster is a needle/seat adjuster or something that preloads a spring/shim stack...
mwjscn replied to the thread S197 BackInBlack.By filling while on a non-level surface. Since the fill plug is situated at the back, if the car nose is tipped forward you can get more fluid in the case before it dribbles out the fill plug opening. If then opened on a level surface later, the... (see full post)

Junkyard Dog replied to the thread HPDE tires.More than a tire with the 26 offset? No way.All we are doing is moving the wheel out to match the same position as the stock 26 offset, so we can use the 52 offset from the rear wheel ( so we can rotate).I think the leverage would be exactly...

Little over cooked for me, but they were good…And it can’t be a holiday without a pecan pie.-

TMSBOSS reacted to Akel's post in the thread Advice on setting up my car for gain confidence with Like.This is a great list that I will keep in mind for the future.I would much rather spend my money on consumables and track days at this point before I invest more into a new suspension setup.

Stangra replied to the thread S197 BackInBlack.Just curious, how can one fill the transmission beyond the fill plug height? (see full post)

Randy Pobst on the Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD09, which come in 295/30R19 and 325/30R19, which he claims lasts for a 4000 mile One Lap of America on a 4600 pound Dodge Charger Hellcat Widebody Redeye, 16 track events . . . that is a lot of mileage-
Yes. I like them. I have improved my PB at our local track with them, though previously on Falken RT615k+ so maybe not surprising. I can't comment on longevity as I have only had them on for a couple of sessions, but they seem to be holding up...
