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...
