    '01 and '02 GTS Owners- Any interest in Front and Rear Wilwood Brake Kit?

    \'01 and \'02 GTS Owners- Any interest in Front and Rear Wilwood Brake Kit? I have put together specs for a direct bolt-on Wilwood kit. Front calipers are 6 piston (GN III/ST) with 14" x 1.25" slotted rotors, rears are 4 piston calipers (FSL) with rotors slightly larger than stock. Also comes...

    Trade 3.33 gears for 3.45 and cash?

    I am upgrading to a quaife currently, and was planning on replacing my 3.45s with 3.33s. The shop that I was going to use was holding a set of 3.33s for me, and then subsequently sold them out from under me. I now have my dif out and disassembled and am in need of some 3.33s. I will trade my...

    Detail question....claybar

    Most claybar applications are actually quite simple. I use Pinnacle polyclay and pre-wet the surface with a 1:4 dawn/water solution. The clay removes any impurities in the clear coat. If you claybar once or twice a year (depending on your climate), you will be amazed with the results. The...

    ? about Motons

    For the road course racers out there, I am going to upgrade my re-valved Koni's to Motons this spring. I was contemplating the 2-way adjustable Motorsports, but the Club Sports are about $2K less. Are the Clubsports acceptable for a pretty much dedicated track car, or is it worth the extra...

    3.33 gears

    Does anyone know where I can find a set of 3.33 gears? Unfortunately, I was unable to get a set from Unitrax recently before they sold out. I currently have 3.45s and a stock dif, and plan on upgrading to a Quaife with 3.33s. TIA, Shawn

    Any sound/vid clips of Viper w/o mufflers?

    Here is the link: http://www.davidtittle.com/video/ShawnMoore_at_MSR_8-14-05.mpg I posted it a while back. It is a huge file, so it might run slowly (depending on my friend's website bandwidth usage). I hope you get a feel for how loud the car is... Shawn

    06 Coupe or Noble M400??

    What do you want the car for? The Noble is an awesome road course car. I have driven against an M12 GTO-3R before, and that car was extremely impressive. Lightweight, great suspension, 350 bhp... It can be problematic, though, because here in the US you can only import the rolling chasis...

    Any sound/vid clips of Viper w/o mufflers?

    I have headers and straight pipes out the back, with no mufflers, no cats, no resonators. It is LOUD- insanely loud- but I like it. Removing the resonators made a huge difference- about 20% louder I would estimate. I can send you a link to an in-car video I shot at the track if you would...

    Modifications

    Viper X- funny guy... I didn't put any in, but hopefully John Lingenfelter knew how many to install since the car was originally owned by one of his closest friends at the time the cam/heads were done.

    NASSAU COUNTY HIGHWAY PATROL,,,..A -HOLE....

    It's stories like this that pretty much limit my use of the Viper to the track. I got pulled over a couple of years ago on my way to the hospital to treat a patient that had just arrived with a ruptured intracranial aneurysm. I ran a yellow light going 50 mph in a 45 zone. The cop pulled me...

    Learn from my mistake-to my Viper friends

    Glad it was just a TIA and not a stroke. Make sure they evaluated your TIA adequately- should involve an MRI/MRA of the brain, echocardiogram (not EKG) of the heart, hypercoagulable studies (lab tests), and possibly even a cerebral angiogram. If all that is OK, make sure you get your...

    18" Hoosiers (new) for sale

    18\" Hoosiers (new) for sale I have 4 new Hoosiers for sale if anyone is interested. Fronts are 305/30/18 and rears are 335/30/18. They have never been heat cycled or tracked at all. My 18" Goodyear Eagle slicks lasted a lot longer than I expected, so I won't be able to use these tires this...

    Why The Dyno Lies - Incorrect A/F

    You can put the dynojet wideband O2 sensor anywhere, not just at the tailpipe. I always placed it in an O2 bung on the downpipe of my 300ZX TT when tuning.

    I raced a Carrera GT this morning

    I see a silver one frequently at MSR. Unfortunately, the guy will never take it on the track- only drives it there to park in the lot. I am looking forward to spanking him when that day comes where he actually has the balls to hit the track with it (and I am quite sure he knows that)...

    Track Tire Pressure for Pilot Sport Cups

    I ran 27 LF, 28 RF, 28 LR, 29 RR, but you really need to check with a pyrometer to know your optimal pressures. Also, if you run nitrogen, you should start with higher pressures because it will not change as much as regular air with increasing temps. I only ran the Michelins a few times at...

    Drove a Lambo Gallardo

    Nice cars. Very easy to drive on the track, especially with the paddle shifter. I have spanked a couple of them, however, on the road course in my '97 GTS.

    New Viper Coupe in Car & Driver 253mph

    $4.5 million??? The MSRP is 1.2 million, which is still a lot, but nothing close to 4 and a half... One of my friends witnessed a Veyron running the 'ring in Germany and said it was quite impressive!

    Pilot Sport Cups VS V700 Kumhos

    You can get a set of the V710s for about $950 shipped/heat cycled. This is basically the shaved version of the 700s from the factory. They have excellent grip at the track (ie road course), along with very good durability. They are also fine for the street, as long as you don't drive in the...

    Question for those who track there car often

    I track my '97 GTS once or twice a month, and how much stress you will place on the car depends upon what tires/speeds you run. For street tires, simple pad upgrades, along with good brake fluid and a good suspension is pretty much all you need. Make sure your shocks/springs are up to the...

    IF THERE EVER WAS A TIME TO JOIN THE VCA........

    Sweet. I think the raffle tickets should be limited to people who actually have track experience or track their cars. That would eliminate 99% of the poser's that comment on how the car would look sitting in their garage (gathering dust)...

    Goal ... more noise! Opinions wanted....

    Get some headers, then delete the cats and the resonators.
