steveespo replied to the thread Track Time Videos.Not a new PB so I will share in this thread. After a 6 month layoff to take care of OPRC (other people's racecars) I got the 21 back on track with a fresh bullet featuring GSC-Power Division Alpha 2 Road Race cams. This set really brought the... (see full post)
Junkyard Dog replied to the thread GLoc pad question.800° v. 1000°R18 is 2100°I am a novice, so my Akebono OEM Dark Horse pads were fine. Maybe I am only putting 73° into the pads with my slow, novice driving. I need more seat time before I even worry about pads.And just for context - I... (see full post)-
Junkyard Dog replied to the thread GLoc pad question.I wish Ferodo would hurry up and make S650 pads. I have read that their street friendly and track pads can be swapped with no issues. I have not read that about any other manufacturer's pad. E.g., with the GLoc, apparently it is no issue to... (see full post)
Gunslinger55 replied to the thread GLoc pad question.They use that disclaimer on all the R pads. Pretty generic. The most street friendly R pad “from what i hear” . I might try it but everyone’s mileage may vary. They would take more abuse than the G1 i’m assuming? It is nice with the brembo front... (see full post)-
Junkyard Dog replied to the thread GLoc pad question.Their site says it works when cold, but they warn against using it on the street due to noise and dust. They also warn against using it on track. It is their autocross only pad. (see full post)
kevfrank posted a reply to the lap time of 1:48.667 by amantalv on track configuration Full Course at track Road Atlanta.Nice job! What group were you in? I ran just Saturday in “regular” Advanced lol
drunkonunleaded replied to the thread S550 Budget rain/street tire.Another vote for the ECS02s. I’m running a 275/40/18 square setup.Absolutely killer in the rain. Yesterday was my first event and they were not the limiting factor by a long shot. I was thoroughly impressed considering there were multiple... (see full post)-
drunkonunleaded replied to the thread S197 Unleaded Racing - 2009 Bullitt.Agreed on the street manners. I'm very happy with how it drives. The car has a catted Kooks X-Pipe on it now. The tuner suggested getting rid of them as he claims that they will not hold up during a track day and I would be risking engine... (see full post)

drunkonunleaded replied to the thread S197 Unleaded Racing - 2009 Bullitt.So now I'm drafting this recap and it's time to Monday evening quarterback this thing. There's a few things that I feel need to be addressed outside of my driving:Suspension - This is the car's biggest downfall. It leans and wallows like the... (see full post)

drunkonunleaded replied to the thread S197 Unleaded Racing - 2009 Bullitt.While perhaps not as unfortunate as Parnelli Jones, the weather did not want to cooperate for me either. What started as a beautiful Sunday morning turned into torrential rain. New car, novice driver, and standing water. What could go wrong... (see full post)

- CarSalesman replied to the thread S550 Budget rain/street tire.This is a limited data point but I recently put the Firestones on my Boss Laguna Seca. I’ve only driven the car a couple hundred miles before beginning a Tremec swap where it is now. During that time I drove on the street in rain. It seemed... (see full post)

- CarSalesman replied to the thread S197 Unleaded Racing - 2009 Bullitt.Nice work on the car and great story writing. The dyno results sound right to me. My FR500S has your setup plus a much more aggressive cam, valve springs, FRPP throttle body, FRPP high rise intake, headers, and nearly open exhaust with no cats... (see full post)

drunkonunleaded replied to the thread S197 Unleaded Racing - 2009 Bullitt.Today was the big day. Months of hard work and cubic dollars. A year and a half of agonizing over a car purchase and fantasizing about what I'd do. All put into action. Why is it that I can barely make it to work some days by 9, or even be up... (see full post)

drunkonunleaded replied to the thread S197 Unleaded Racing - 2009 Bullitt.Saturday I slept in. It was a long week of late night wrenching to get the car sorted. What you don't see here is the hours of torquing bolts. Re-torquing. Cleaning threads. Marking with via-torque or a paint pen. I am not an engineer and I... (see full post)
