Thanks for sharing. Cool video, great track photos. 666 is devilish.
Why do the brakes make so much noise?
Nolan
They're Powerstop Track Day pads so I get all of the noise of race brakes without any of the stopping power lol. I will probably ditch them for ST43 pads next year which might be even louder.Quote:

So I had oil leak that was nastier than usual since my last trackday at Thunderbolt. I found this when I pulled the waterpump off lol. Thankfully I had several spare timing cover seals on hand.

Took the car to the Pocono TNIA of the season and I chopped another 3s off. This puts me at about 4s faster than this time last year.

Car started leaking again from god knows where. The whole car is super grimey underneath so it's near impossible to figure out where exactly it's coming from. Could also potentially be a PCV issue, idk. Not sure how much I care with only 2 events left this season.
You was gittin up on that run. The Pocono track seems sweet, I even got a little nervous when you were up on the wall. LOL
I hate oil leaks and I hate them even more when I ignore them and then have to work on a greasy ass engine.
Back in the daze they had places that would steam clean your engine and chassis up on a lift for a reasonable price.
Can't find anybody that will do it nowadays.
Last NJMP event of the year and another 2s dropped. Also got to chase around some fast cars with new LT1s lol.

I'm currently looking into some front coilovers and rear shocks for next year. Car feels kinda floppy on corner entry as these 20yo Bilsteins have probably had enough of my bullshit. They should be SLP valved and only have around 30k on them, but the stickers are faded and illegible so who knows.
Looking for a shock to bridge the gap between 200tw class tires and a 100tw Goodyear SC3R with only a spring swap and damper adjustment. If it's too pricey, I'll stick to Koni yellows and forget about stickier tires.
I've watched all your track videos and your driving skills appear to be improving. You were hanging with the higher HP cars with skill. I seem to sense a bit more aggressiveness in your entries and exits. Awesome job.
Time to ditch the SLP Bilsteins for something better. Ridetech HQ coilovers on the front with 800lb Eibach springs. 3rd gen Koni yellow SAs on the rear and I'm going to swap the 200lb UMI rear springs back in.
I need to shorten the front sway endlinks a little, but the coilovers went in alright. I might want to get shorter eyes for the shock tops to drop the car a hair and make them easier to install (had to compress them slightly to get them in, was a pain in the ass).
Really hoping to make the car more crisp on transitions as it feels pretty floppy at corner entry. I also wanted a setup that wouldn't be total dogshit when I ultimately step up to a 100tw tire.
