It was a super fun weekend at Watkins Glen! The car did great, but the driver could use some work. I love this car!!!
JDMac34 replied to the thread S197 JDMac's GT.I was still having issues with oil temp at WGI. I was only able to put down a lap or two before I saw temps around 280°F. I never saw the cylinder head temp go above 211°F, so that part was great, but I'd like to do something about my oil temp... (see full post)-

steveespo replied to the thread S197 BackInBlack.What is the total timing in the tune? Assuming 93 octane, but are you running 91? Sorry I haven't read every post for the specs (see full post)
TMSBOSS reacted to Dave_W's post in the thread SR performance coilovers VS Koni sport/Eibach? with Like.Never disclose that you live close to a track on a forum for track guys! Now you'll have a bunch of random drivers asking to crash on your couch every weekend. ;)-
Many of us on here would tell you to save your budget, take off the Supercharger and run with stock 5.0 liter for now. Running with a Supercharger tends to be a constant work in progress to reduce heat, conquer heat soak and more. Take off the...
After they've had a good amount of time to cool though, right? I know it often goes without saying around these parts, but if a cold torque rating is applied to a hot stud after a lapping session the nut may feel looser than normal for different...-
There's a lot of quoting of general cases, but we're dealing with a specific case here. If you use a spacer, and the same wheel, the centerline of the wheel & tire moves away from the hub, and leverage (and bearing wear) on the hub increases...

The 3R's are everything I heard about. Big jump for me having only ever ran the PS4's in the past. Yes, they do not grip well in the cold and wet, but they are manageable as long as water is not running across the track or puddling. First two...

Yokohama A052s were great at NCCAR. My car normally runs a full slick.. I’m new to the car and learning it so I don’t have a comparison. I noticed it was easier to get rotation while trailing than I’m accustomed to with my previous car (350R...

my first day out with the Bridgestone Potenza RE71RS went great - broke my PB at Hallett and then topped that by a few tenths. Very impressed with them so far! Thanks for the recommendation @Bill Pemberton!

I made a reel about this because a C8 on Cup 2’s binned it into the gravel at COTA after we had just been released from the pit
- Slow3v replied to the thread S197 FR500S #32.Awesome car! Looking forward to following the build. If you ever want a buddy for a track day let me know - I live about 40 minutes from you based on your profile location. (see full post)
- Slow3v replied to the thread S197 BackInBlack.Just go put 2-3 gallons of e85 in, you’ll get the octane you’re looking for. (see full post)

Not to sound like your dad but if this is your first time on the 3R or similar be aware that they will have a lot less grip than your old PS4s when cold. You have to get some heat in them. I looped my car on the out lap one time on them at...
