byronj replied to the thread Crankshaft relearn.I told you this would be the place to get you fixed up. Now do the old timers a favor and go introduce yourself. You might even find the old owner to your Boss. This is the resource to get help and learn. Rule 1 don't be a dick. Rule 2 don't... (see full post)

JDMac34 replied to the thread Oil Cooler Air Flow.I appreciate that. I'm an engineer by trade with some fab experience; not enough to be good, but to be dangerous. I created a 3D model of what I was trying to make, printed 1:1 templates of the flat patterns, cut them with hand shears, broke my... (see full post)-
honeybadger replied to the thread Ferodo DS1.11 Front and Pagid RSL29 Rear, good combination?.that's a fun looking track!Based on that video, I'd recommend something like the Cobalt XR3s or XR2s. The XR2 would be my choice - bit more bite than you probably use right now, but a more agressive pad can be very helpful in learning how to... (see full post)
Fabman replied to the thread Oil Cooler Air Flow.Dude that looks killer, and I'm glad it worked for you. Remember, I am a professional fabricator with all the tools and equipment including a lift.

Sometimes I do end up braking a bit longer because of traffic.I have an old video of me on street tires at the end of their service life (went all out on them, I... (see full post)
Date of Lap time:Qualifying for NASA w2w in American Iron Xtreme. First time there, love the facility and the track.-
JDMac34 replied to the thread Oil Cooler Air Flow.Not quite at Fabman's level, but this is what I was able to put together at 10pm the night before a track day. It's not my best work and will definitely be redone at a later date, but it worked! I was on a different track that required less... (see full post)

- EF1 replied to the thread Crankshaft relearn.Okay that is the extended license. Licenses are cheap for Forscan. Mine is currently expired. I was not sure if I bought the extended license for the crank relearn or to turn off the tpms. (see full post)

Cobalt XR1/2 Pagid RST3 GLOC R16/18 Hawk DTC-60/70All viable options for front.How is your braking technique? I have read stabbing the brakes instead of squeezing them can play a part (see full post)- Walt replied to the thread Ferodo DS1.11 Front and Pagid RSL29 Rear, good combination?.Yes I do have deflectors in the front.I actually wanted to get GLOC R12 front and R10 rear at first, but another member here mentioned issues with ABS triggering on 200TW tires. He went with Ferodo DSUNO pads and OEM rear. I figured I should... (see full post)

steveespo replied to the thread Oil Cooler Air Flow.If you are staying with the 934 mount it lower and duct it. I would definitely go right to a 960, I did the 934-948-960 progression and the 960 makes a big difference. The airflow through the lower mouth is better, but get rid of the factory...
