Honestly, haven't had any issues with that across 4-5 years and multiple seasons. Have been in 40F-110F conditions. Oversize the holes a little if it's a concern.

I highly recommend you get a set of takeoffs to ship to Fran. Unless you plan to do a speed build it's likely by the time your car hits the road you won't have much time before the tires have aged out. Throw a set of cheap takeoffs on there until you're ready to really drive the car then spend...

I use thumbnuts. Available from McMaster. There's enough friction between the screws and the windows that I can loosen the thumb nuts from inside the car if I want to remove them without having an allen key handy. There may be enough to tighten as well but I've always final torqued with an...

2 SLC visits in 2 months, who am I visiting next?! Mike (mmopar0521) was back in town and we were able to finally drag my butt down to his neck of the woods (literally, he's in the middle of a forest!) for a visit. His car's still in work so it was mostly catching up and chatting cars. Mike...

What's the trick for seamlessly embedding imgur photos again? NVM - figured it out ... now to clean up those posts!

After 13 hours on the road and I'd made it! - Hector's car wasn't quite road ready yet but since planning the trip he's been HAMMERING it every evening and making great progress. I don't know how he tolerates the garage temperatures with ambient temps as high as they are. I know I wouldn't...

Simply put - the AC system is undersized for this car if ambient temps are greater than 90F and the sun's out in force. I could feel a noticeable change in comfort and cooling when clouds partially blocked the sun, when temps were less than 90F, or when the sun had gotten low enough that the...

To my surprise the SLC is an incredibly comfortable car to drive on the highway! Keeping a constant speed wasn't as challenging as I had originally thought. I did have to adjust my pedal position as I hit uphills and downhills but the car has so much power you can roll into or out of the...

Not dead, still alive and lurking! Hector (felizguy) and I have been chatting SLCs for a number of years and earlier this year he happened to be in the area and we were able to finally meet face to face. He's been making great progress on his car and about a month ago I worked it out with my...

On my SLC the doors will crack open enough that I can detect an air pressure/temperature change in the cabin at about 130-150mph. I've experienced it a few times while testing my car in Mexico. I haven't observed any ill effects (bodywork/plastidip issues) but I rarely get my car up to those...

About time! Same here, brought the SLC out for a drive to work this past week, god I’ve forgotten how awesome it is to drive this car. congrats!

The R8 has a redline of 8500rpm so that would be a good start.

I would recommend against this. The rubber gives you a little bit of squish in case whatever surface you’re contacting isn’t perfectly flat. It also has a good amount of friction to prevent the car from sliding off the lift. There is no issue with load distribution unless your car is severely...

I hadn't received the tinted ones in time for the video, I've got them off to the side waiting for a few hours when I can install them. The difference with and without tint film is incredible to say the least, particularly up at elevation where I'm at now. Mileage - this year's been a bit...

For the real masochists, there's an even longer cut.. yikes

I'm not dead - just been super busy! The local Cars & Coffee crew came out and shot some footage of my car and interviewed me. Give them a like and subscribe! Photo credit: @303perspective Drone footage: @4blades_digital, @snipesfpv Shot for @cocarsandcoffee Edited by @jevandass

Full disclosure – I’ve known John at HCF personally for several years now. We spent a great deal of time talking about SLCs at first and I’ve watched from the sidelines as he’s grown HCF. This is the first I’ve heard of this situation; after reading this thread I reached out to John to try and...

Looks almost dark enough that you don’t need a frit.
