The new power steering cooler and relocation worked very well also. After a full session there was just a little ATF around the top, compared to half of the engine bay soaked with it. I am pretty satisfied with my new setup, like Rob stated only thing now is to do some hood venting and she will be ...

Yea, no room for 2 cars. I don't even have a garage to work out of. Tires and pads actually don't cost that much, I've done 7 lapping days on a set of Kumho MXs that are still going strong. Bad alignments and burnouts are what really kill tires. I hate to keep bumping this thread because it's somewh...

I hear that, although I'd stay tinkering with my car is more of a stress builder for me since it seems like I'm always chasing down some problem. Track days = complete release though, there's no room for anything else to go through your mind when you're correcting for a slight slide exiting a corner...

Thanks Lance- I'm definitely going to test the WG once I pull it. I'm swapping all my stuff to a different chassis this summer so it all has to come off. I'm just on the spring pressure, no controller. I was going to get one but didn't bother once I always ended up having more boost than I wanted. I...

Thanks for the input. Its interesting to see all the different opinions. I don't take my car to the strip, I do open lapping days, things like that. A little autoX, but mostly I find that too boring. Its actually a lot of fun to do, even with a slow car. That just means corner exits aren't as explos...

Here's my dilemma. I currently have a GT32 setup on my stock KA. I use the car for street driving and track events. It did fine at the first event I did with it boosted, but I have a boost creep issue (think I messed up my JGS WG diaphragm somehow) and my clutch is slipping, probably from a leaky re...

Keeping all the stock ducting and bleeding the system properly (with an appropriate mix of water, coolant, and water wetter) should be fine for 95% of people on this board. Its only on the track that cooling really becomes a concern, and even then an oil cooler should be sufficient to keep you cool ...

Anything other than the stock 3 pt belts isn't really safe without more roof support, i.e. a cage. Then, you should probably drive around with a helmet on since there are metal bars close to your head, depending on how the cage is designed. Just read up a lot on this stuff, you don't want the safety...
That B-Magic one has kind of a lame looking vent with questionable placement. You could get a Uras vent molded in, like this: http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a160/turtl631/jdrd1.jpg You get to put it where you want, and if you get it done well and paint over it the hood will look really good. The ...

1. Nice work, but did you think about finishing with that textured paint that sorta matches OEM plastic? Russ did a writeup on this on FA a while back I think. I just hate glossy black finishes because they show every little fingerprint and speck of dust. This is the OEM finish on these parts. This...

wish i wasnt so far away, and i didnt have work the next day... $225 is an average price, 200 is pretty good, typically u have to pay 200-400 for a circuit track. My last session at limerock was $270, just to give everyone some prospective :) . For a 1 day event? That sucks, I haven't paid more tha...

How long could you expect a 6 puck to last with normal driving, i.e. not doing burnouts every day. I've read that they wear out flywheels much more quickly than organic discs. I don't want to have to replace it in 10K miles just becuase the clutch is so aggressive. Thoughts? Aside: CC also makes the...

With R comps like NT01s (great choice btw, or RA1s, for good r comps that last a while), you'll need a lot of camber. So you might get away with stock control arms, especially in back. MIght need toe arms to avoid ridiculous toe though, and the tension rod bushings are so sloppy that the aftermarket...
