    that's what I had always heard and thought that the classic 911 was tail happy. but from being a passenger and talking with him some more it didn't seem it to much. I think what it comes down to is two fold in this order 1) is how well you can manage the pendulum effect of that weight. 2) how...

    speaking of old air cooled 911's I got a ride in one. I really liked it. it seemed to have a handling balance and feel surprisingly similar to our cars from the passenger seat. and yes I know it sounds crazy

    I don't blame you for going easy in that corner(southbend). its a tough corner because its somewhat off camber and drops right as you apex.

    I thought about it but the routing doesn't really work well/easily with our cars. I was going to put one of those tractor flappers on it so when you went into boost the flapper would be pushed open. I know a fare number of Hondas have the dump tube either out the hood or bumper

    yes it has a dump tube to atmosphere. the chattering noise is because I have an electronic boost solenoid. it functions by opening and closeing the wastegate many times in quick succession to keep the correct boost pressure. I actually want/need to a some point weld on an extra piece of pipe to...

    so this Friday I had a trackday at Pocono raceway. it was full of ups and downs. I started the day by getting to tech later then I like. but while I was in the tech line and moving the car some random person came up to me and told me the car sounded pretty nasty. that made me feel good and...

    that sounds great. the tires were probably nt01 or toyo r888. when you said you didn't trust your tires, what kind are you running? i'm guessing you were running the full course, what was you speed on the straight? those are really good times, congrats. looking forward to the video.

    slotted or drilled

    keep in mind with drilled rotors you have less material so you have less of a heat sink

    go with stock or aftermarket colder thermostat for the radiator

    cooling for the track and other longevity items.

    What kind of fan setup should I use for optimal cooling. I drive it to and from the track and everynow and then I drive it randomly to so where or for no reason at all

    cooling for the track and other longevity items.

    I have the saikou michi catch cans. I was looking at amsoil online but didn't seet it in 10w40. I change the oil after each event, is this necessary?

    cooling for the track and other longevity items.

    Anything else I'm missing from the equation for engine longevity on track.? Should the oil cooler have a thermostat or not? Is there any kind of high flow pump or thermostat for the cooling system?

    cooling for the track and other longevity items.

    so I need some help figuring out my cars cooling. I have come up with the radiator choices, but don't know which to choose, the godspeed unit is made and designed by ron davis so i'm leaning towards that one. here are the links...
