    Brake question for track guys

    Hey everyone, I have a 2006 Coupe that goes to about 4-5 track days per year. I have a brake issue that I want to get your opinions on. Last summer, I did a track day in really hot weather -- so hot that my red front calipers turned a brownish red from the heat. I noticed afterward that...

    Right rear suspension creaking/popping?

    I am hoping that someone can assist me in trying to fix a noise coming out of the right rear suspension of my 06 coupe. The noise sounds like a creaking or popping noise and seems to occur when the right rear suspension is unloading, like when I apply the brakes or when transitioning in or out...

    Exhaust popping noise?

    I noticed today that my exhaust is making a fairly soft, quiet "pop" every 10 seconds or so when at idle or very low RPM. Car otherwise appears to be running fine. Anyone have any insight into what this might be?

    Door speaker stopped working?!

    Hey everyone, I could use some advice on this. Today, my stereo was working totally fine. I parked the car, came back 20 minutes later, and my left door speakers simply weren't working. All the others are functional. My stereo is all stock except for the addition of an Infinity Basslink in...

    Review: Mr. Clean Autodry Car Washing System

    Those of you who watch Speedvision will probably have seen advertisements for the new "Mr. Clean Autodry" car washing system. Basically, it is a system which uses allegedly "special" detergent, plus a spray nozzle with a water filter. The concept is that, by removing minerals from the rinse...

    I just received this announcement about the autocross that several of us were going to this weekend in Talladega: Unfortunately TGPR is posponed to a later date due to weather. The recent storm activities have deposited large debris and also caused flooding of half the track. While the...

    Attn: North Georgia Recreational Drivers

    I took the GTS up through the mountains of North Georgia today, to Helen, up to Blairsville, then Dahlonega and Amicalola. It was a beautiful day and the sport bikes and Harleys were out in force. What surprised me was the police presence on US 19/129 going south from Blairsville . I have...

    Where do I get brake deflectors?

    In preparation for my first track event, I want to pick up some brake air deflectors. I have seen people post here that they paid very low (and very high) amounts for these things. Can anyone recommend where to get them inexpensively? Also, I'll need some advice about installing them. Cable...

    Report: Wheel Wizard

    Well, I had a wheel-scraping incident last week (caused by some nimrod SUV driver who thought that s/he could drive in BOTH lanes at the same time). My right rear wheel was REALLY scraped up completely around the outer lip right next to the tire, although thankfully there was no bending and no...

    If you like Viper racing, remember that Speedvision is beginning its recap of the 2002 FIA GT series this weekend (Saturday, noon ET). This is a series in which there are lots of Viper teams that don't usually race in the U.S., although some appear at Sebring. Hopefully, Speedvision will run...

    Is anyone going to Sebring 03?

    I am kind of mulling over going down to Sebring for the 03 12-hour race, and wondered if anyone from here would be going, or would be interested in driving down together. From reading the archives, it looks like there was a VCA gathering there last year -- how was that? May be a little early...

    1st autocross in the Viper: impressions vs. Z06

    Well, I did my first autocross event in the Viper yesterday, and wanted to share my experience with everyone. Keep in mind that I autocrossed Corvettes for 3 years before this, including 2 years in my 2001 Z06. I thought the Z06 was an awesome autocross car. I was absolutely blown away by how...

    Where can I find a line drawing of a GTS?

    Hey everyone, I'm looking for a black-and-white drawing of a GTS, perhaps from the side and top, that I could then mess around with in photoshop to experiment with various paint schemes. Can anybody point me to one? P.S. I am NOT repainting my car, if you were wondering...
