Hi guys, for those of you that run in Time Trial/Solosprint, what kind of setup do you have? I have: Supension: Steeda Springs (200lb/in, 175lb/in), Koni Yellow single adj., Strano bars, adj phb, lca, uca, (all rod ends). Brakes: SS lines, DTC-70/60s, cooling ducts. Power: Not much, just a...

Very interesting, has there been a write up about a 5.0/Boss 302 swap into early S197s?

What do the grand-am cup cars do? They're still running 3-link, right?

Regarding update/backdate rules, could I then theoretically swap a new 5.0 BOSS 302 motor into my 2007 GT? Would I have to adapt the electric power steering? Or could I run a manual rack for ESP?

Unfortunately, I do not believe they will, I tested the brake template with my RPF1s, and they don't appear to fit. Caliper clearance issue. I have seen the PF01s fit though.

285/30/18 all around, I don't drive it to work everyday, just occasional "milk runs" :) Tramlining is pretty bad, but I love the traction. Keep a firm grip on the wheel with both hands, like the racing manual says.

I actually was told that my speed bleeders were dangerous and would fail, I was also told by the same person that my steering knuckles would break when I ran r-compounds......:whistling:

Have you guys tried speed bleeders? When there's no one around to help, the speed bleeders are amazing! +1 on ATE SuperBlue/Type 200, excellent value brake fluid. I have no idea about the clutch fluid. I can tell you that I have about 8 hours of track time on my car, still on factory clutch fluid.

After much nagging, I had the little bladder thing from TSB 10-03-07 installed on my car. It still bleeds fluid on track days though. My question is this: Is it possible to lose enough fluid that it causes damage to the rear diff?

Understood, cars can be replaced, my body can't, so I don't plan on cheaping out for proper safety equipment. I have now gotten word that for my local timed events, starting in the 2012 season, a HANS type device will be mandatory. Do they require a special type of shoulder harness?

Right on, what diameter washers did you use for the drilled locations? I see some cars have what appears to be 2"x2" squares on the underside of the body.

Interesting, thanks for the pictures you guys. PCDRJ, did you mount both anti-submarine belts to the same point? And I suppose you mounted the right side lap belt to where the seat belt buckle would originally bolt in? I see that you used the original bolting location on the left side. Having...

Hmm, not a bad idea. I suppose I would still have to modify this bracket? I am a shorty (5'8"), and tend to sit with the stock seat rather close, kind of like those guys in the Mustang Challenge cars.

For those you with racing seats, what did you guys use as a mounting solution? I recently bought a OMP WRC racing seat, with side mount brackets. I believe that the Sparco floor bracket will work, but here's the thing: I have a track day on the 27th, and shipping to Canada is slow as all hell...

I just got some too!: http://www.shop.puma.com/Sport/Men/Motorsport/Footwear/Ferrari-Future-Cat-M1-Shoes/pna885116709463,en_US,pd.html I think they're good for about 12hp :)

Wow, those mounting pads look SOLID. Autopower's is just scary: It looks like a little 3"x4" pad, mounted in a area of poor structural strength. Little wonder it punched through that car at Hallet.

You make a good point, philostang. I guess I took a strange route, I went from oem all seasons (3 track days), I found the car difficult to control, very "tight" at first, then "loose" as the tires overheated. Then I went straight to r compounds, it was like flipping a lightswitch, I found the...

I would suggest a r-compound, I run Toyo r888, 285/30/18, on Enkei rpf1s, 18x10. I find the r-comps to be more consistent, and they definitely take a lot more work to "grease up". I always found my street tires would become overheated, making the car loose after a few laps.

From the CACC rule book: "B. ROLL-OVER PROTECTION: Where required, roll-over protection must comply with the specifications contained in GCR Appendix II. Roll-over protection is highly recommended for all vehicles and is mandatory for vehicles with fold-down or completely removable tops. For...

Hi guys, I am planning on entering my car into Solosprint (Time Trial) events (http://www.caccautosport.org/CACCsolosprint_main.html). I will require a 4 point roll bar, as specified in the CACC rulebook (http://www.caccautosport.org/pdf/2011SoloSprintRulebook.pdf). I am undecided about getting...

Oh....I see...Have you tried bouncing the front and rear of the car while at rest? You might have a chance at isolating the sound. As firefigherhill suggested, is everything tightened down? If the sound is coming from the front end, it could be your strut mounts.

Turbostangs90, you have rod ends in your suspension, correct? I get the same clunk-clunk-clunk noise in my Mustang too, I have full rod ends in my lcas, uca, and phb. I think it's just the NVH downside of rod ends. I got a chance to ride shotgun in a 911 GT3 on a open track day last Wednesday...

Those are good wheels, but my god, the color!

18x10, +35mm RPF1...285/30/18 R888..... Not the best pic, but you get the idea:
