byronj replied to the thread S550 Rear spoiler recommendation for Road America?.Dont put more rear aero in the car unless up balance out the front. Drive your car the way it is and grow into the car. If anything put more DF on the front before you add to the rear. (see full post)
TMSBOSS replied to the thread S550 Rear spoiler recommendation for Road America?.Although I didn’t follow this advice. Don’t change anything. Spend money of tires, pads and instruction. A day with a patient, knowledgeable instructor is likely what you need at this point. Also expect to run through brakes at Road America... (see full post)

TheTed replied to the thread Dark Horse OEM Pad wear per track day - does this sound Reasonable?.That doesn't sound like the standard issue that the KRM pump fixes. Basically the stock pickup is on the driver's (left) side, and so in long sweeping turns when the fuel sloshes to the right, and there's starvation. At the end of a straight with... (see full post)
Junkyard Dog replied to the thread Dark Horse OEM Pad wear per track day - does this sound Reasonable?.No desire to run a squared 11" set up with 305 all the way around?That is my plan. I have a Dark Horse, but @krisk did the same with a GT. (see full post)

TheTed replied to the thread Dark Horse OEM Pad wear per track day - does this sound Reasonable?.How much fuel did you have in the tank and was it on or immediately following a left turn when it happened? At my favorite track there's a long sweeping left hander, and by 50% fuel at the end of that turn I would get a consistent misfire. It... (see full post)
- galaxy replied to the thread Little help on Rear End Puking on track.Thanks. I'm doing the exact same setup on another 197 in the garage right meow, and I did one thing different from what you see - this time, instead of running the hoses through the floorboard with the rubber boots to seal, I installed AN...

- EF1 replied to the thread S550 Biggsy’s Track Build.Steve has a lift and prefers to take them out the top. I don’t know which is easier but out the top doesn't mess the alignment up since the K frame is mot disturbed. (see full post)
biggsy replied to the thread S550 Biggsy’s Track Build.@steveespo might be the better to ask but I think it depends on what’s left on the engine. I already had my headers and the top half of the engine out. The only thing left was the block and transmission. Because of the difficulty putting the new... (see full post)
