That's _REALLY_ bad and really rare. The only time I've seen anything like that in recent history is an older rain race tire on banking. I believe it was technically in its use time window as well, but still past its 'sell-by.'Was this tire...-
So you're running hots of 32, which means colds are 23-ish. If anything, these seem on the high side. 40-42 psi in a racing tire seems ridiculously high. I've heard fairy tails of street-type tires wanting big pressures here or there over the...

blacksheep-1 replied to the thread 2009 GT.OK, how many miles on the car? Also did any of the valves actually contact the piston tops? These engines are pretty bullet proof. When you say you found a piece of the guide in the pan, did you pull the pan off, or saw it via the drain hole?. I... (see full post)

Phaser lockout seems to be more popular with the straight line folks. Great for one specific purpose but not great for all. Not sure what is needed to pass inspection in NJ. Rural Illinois has no inspection requirements so tweaking is a bit...

blacksheep-1 replied to the thread R.I.P. Kyle Bush.A lot of times these guys push them selves to the brink, and they do it so often that they are comfortable living on that edge. I've seen crew guys go through ibuprofen like candy, consume energy drinks all day, I mean one of the reasons I... (see full post)

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)

I did exactly that for the same reason. Tyres getting old but still good for a thrashing. P.S. @Apex Wheels have a sale on. Think of it as a long term investment in saving money. Women logic but for cars. But this one does give you as much bang...

Buy another set of wheels so you don’t have to make these decisions. Run one set until gone and switch to the next set mid event.

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.
