Hector and his family are some of the nicest people you would ever have the privilege to meet. I hope to go back and see them again as soon as possible. Cam made an epic voyage in his SLC. I wonder if that isn't the longest to date? Approx 1500 miles found trip.

So I hesitated to say this because I can see the utility of having either adjustable peddles, seat, or both especially if more than one person is going to drive the car. Maybe the wife will be a co-driver on road trips etc. Having said that..... I tried to do it the same way that is posted in...

I had a 2014 Cayman S. The reason I bought it was because up to 2014 the Caymans had a bearing issue in the engine. They fixed it for the 2014 and later engines. Maybe a later engine after 2014 might be your solution but not a new direct injected one. Just a thought. I think you would be best...

I have looked at this a lot. There are standalone PDK controllers and there are engine management computers BUT I have as of yet not seen a single controller/ecu that can do both or allow either to work with the manufacturer controller of either. So what what I would do if I were really...

Happy Happy!!!!!!

A bit more on the new front calipers. This time I bought them with the new high-temperature pistons. I have had Wilwood calipers experience piston seizing before due to the piston getting so hot it expands in the bore to the point that it seizes. The guys at Willwood recommend these new pistons...

Russ. This was the point I made to Fran when I bought the car. I told him all I wanted was the chassis, bodywork, and the necessary parts to get it rolling out of the trailer with steering. I was interested in building a track-only car. I believe I was the first to do that and he was excited to...

I found this, be sure to check on available sizes. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/articles/track-tire-buyers-guide/

Ron hit the nail on the head, Hey Ron nice to hear from you! So a discussion on wet setup versus dry setup is in order. This is the primary reason I just don't like wet sessions. My car is set up for a dry track. It is deadly on a wet one. My guess is the springs are at least 200 Lbs too stiff...

I bought a set of these to fit my SLC just in case. They will (hopefully) spend their life in the trailer. Why? when I was looking into a set of street tires to buy for emergency wet tires to be used for a wet unforeseen track day I found these had a very good wet rating as a summer high speed...

Ya, I did that, very easy to do. I used a flapper valve from ATL on the inside of the tank. ATL part # TF564

A bit of advice (free). Anybody but you who tows the car from your tow point will put a huge amount of load on the tow point. A lot of it laterally as the vehicle towing your car makes a turn. MUCH MORE than you can imagine. It will be a JERK! JERK! JERK! As the tow strap stretches. You will be...

Merry Christmas Yall!

I am running R7 Hoosires on my SLC but alas, they are worn out after a lot of track days. How many? None of the Hoosiers I have put on the car have been new. So the used take-offs have ranged from pretty old to nearly new. My best guess and observation is they will be new to good for about 4 to...

There is only one thing I hate about working on my GT40 (GTD40 is the manufacturer) and that's doing ANYTHING under the dashboard. A word to the wise. Anything you mount under the dash will be regretted sooner or later. If at all possible, place things that you can somewhere else or at the very...

What I am talking about is this. The ratio of the master cylinder size to the caliper piston size influences the perceived amount of pedal movement required to transition from foot-off the pedal to full brake effort. A larger size master will feel like a harder pedal than a smaller master size...

Oh, and I added camber to the car. I now have -2.5 degrees on the front and -2.0 on the rear. Better from -2F and -1.5 rear. Also a bit more rear wing AOA. I'm at 8 degrees now. Tire pressures are still 28psi all.

Randy, that is a good question. The calipers I have in the car now are forged Wilwood Superlight radial mount 4-piston. 5.18 Sq/In piston area and 2.46 Sq/In in the rear. I used the radial adapter mounts on the front and they fit perfectly without modifying anything. I used the 13.06 X 1.25...

Did a track day at COTA yesterday with Edge Adicts. This is my favorite group. The run groups are well sorted and the whole day is really run well. Really nice people, especially Karen who is the boss. So some observations. The day was a perfect one in the mid-70s and full sun with very little...

Oh sorry......MA not MD. Check this out. See "Specially-constructed vehicle" about a third of the way down the page. I think you are ok. https://malegislature.gov/Laws/GeneralLaws/PartI/TitleXIV/Chapter90/Section2H
