It does not go back as far as the cross-member, but it is close.

This what you were looking for? I have the Steeda CAI and it is not exposed. I am going to reinstall the cover trim piece on the motor just to cover up things a little more.

Just finished the install of the Trackspec extractors on my 2011 stock hood. I will be doing a full write up later. Really happy with the way they turned out.

Thanks, I wish my instructor was a little more aggressive though, he kept telling me there was nothing he could teach me, which I know isn't true. I may be smooth but I haven't translated that into fast yet, I don't push it beyond 7 maybe 8 10ths most of the time, and it would have been nice...

Well the SCCA has finally started running at Dominion Raceway in Virginia. I went to the HPDE last weekend as a novice, and it was wet wet wet. Major downpour all day long with standing water and rivers flowing across the front straight. With my setup I could not get above 80 or so safely...

Don't hold your breath on the Dominion dates, they have a list of items from the safety inspection that still need to be corrected. I was going to go to the one in June, ended up driving 4 hours to New Jersey when they had to cancel (BTW I really liked NJMP and am not sorry I went in the...

Depending on which backing plates you picked up there is an better than average chance that they will not work. The Stop-Tech rotors and calipers sit a little more inboard than the Brembo brakes do. If you look at my thread here http://www.s197forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=116195 You will...

Am I missing something here? How can you get to bleeders on the backside without removing the wheel?

Why is it that as body lines change/evolve across model years the people making aftermarket body parts keep going back to the same tired old designs that flat out don't flow with the new lines? Lazyness? lack of creativity? Fear?

I went ahead and ordered the H&R race springs. They are just a hair shorter than the Steeda Ultralights in the front and about ¼ in shorter in the rear. The definitely felt stiffer while installing them, as I had a little trouble more sliding them into the rears than I did when I installed the...

Watson has posted detailed install instructions which show the trimming required. http://www.watsonracing.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/WR-4ptRollCage.pdf

I don't disagree, I am not going to be using that tablet any longer, and am currently trying to figure out the most effective way to tether my phone. I have no problems admitting that I am a glaring example of what not to do in this case. Like I said early on, I hope that others can learn from...

What he said. SoloStorm uses the internal accelerometer of the phone/tablet so it needs to be mounted securely. The hard mount I had was very secure, my hack job quick fix was poorly thought out. Most of the suction cup mounts leave a lot of bounce in the arm and use a ball joint/screw to mount...

So two days before the first AutoX of the season I cracked the mount I was using for my tablet for SoloStorm. I thought I rigged up a reasonable temporary solution to get me through the first event. It was a little too temporary. This was the mount I use to use, I made the bracket so it slid in...

I am usually painfully aware when I am behind in the slalom, I can't always fix it right then, but I am aware. The Ultralights were better than stock and served me pretty well, but I think they are more of a sporty street spring. I emailed with Strano a little yesterday and I decided to go...

OVER THE HILL??? I am barely a man-child! I love the new pads. They allow me to brake very hard without much effort, and they gave me a little boost of confidence going into the corners knowing that I could count on them. They do squeak for slow stops, like traffic, in neighborhoods, anytime...

I will put up some images of what I did tonight/tomorrow. It holds the tablet just at the center vents, allows the vents to work, allows things to be plugged into the 12V outlet. It holds it steady and it within easy reach. if you look at my Summit Point video from the thread I started you can...

I started using SoloStorm by PetrelData last year, it requires a tablet, but it connects to the OBD,GPS, and GoPro. It is made for autocrossing so it undertands things like staging, start and finish and runs. It can chart throttle position, steering angle (I think) One of the things is will do...

I did a Summit Point "Friday at the Track", and in that case the instructors made the decision as to where they will ride in the hot pit before the group went on track for the first time.

I installed the ducts, pads and rotors last Sunday, it wasn't very exciting, but that part is now done. The drivers side was easier than the passenger, however I did end up relocating my horn up out of the way. I moved it to a different hole just up and to the front of the car. I had to swap the...

VIR is on my to do list, but I want to make sure the car is working well before I head down there. Plus I can do a Summit Point event in a single day from here.

After a very long winter where it seems that family, taxes and other grown up BS have taken a lot more money than I would have liked I am back to making some changes. First I got the backing plates welded and painted with high temp paint. The welding job looks like crap, but it is solid, and...

Unless you are taking first by a hair at every event, then second will probably say something. My take on it is this. I follow the rules, it is just how I am wired. If you have something that clearly doesn't give you an extra advantage, or you are not running at the highest level than I really...
