If you two are game, I'll make a call and try to negotiate a discounted deal for 3 of them. I would want a catted pipe. Anybody else want to join the buying group?

I've heard good things about the GiroDisc rotors, but haven't heard from anyone having used the Paragon rotor rings. I would guess the GiroDisc rotors probably weigh about a pound less each if you care.

Welcome! The drop is Swift Spec "R" springs. That will change the geometry in the rear requiring shorter toe links.

You're on the right path. Lower your cold pressures to whatever they need so when they get hot you're at 34psi. You've already changed your brake fluid to Castrol SRF or the like, right? On the track you will boil OEM oil in the calipers. That's your first must do!

Tire wear - Every option costs something! Those pictures show when you're on the track you are pushing hard. If you are going to continue to track it, I don't see you being happy on your track days with a detuned suspension for tire life. And those track days are going to destroy the outer...

Look for an impact mark on the other wheel. Ya know those changes of road height by a couple of inches when paving is being done. Someone could have come across one of those at a high speed and damaged both tires in the same way simultaneously.

OK, so the wheel didn't get bent. That doesn't change the fact that we are not looking at a wear issue. There is a significant impact mark on the wheel in your photo. There is a huge chuck of rubber missing from the inner sidewall exactly at the impact mark on the wheel in your photo. There...

We should meet sometime. I also have a Watkins Glen car. I'm doing 7 track days this year. This is from my 5th ever track day and my first day at Watkins Glen. I'll be there July 3-4 with Hooked On Driving. I've done suspension changes and wider tires, so I'll be much faster this year.

I'm using Porterfield AP2444 R4 pads and am very happy with them. These are supposedly a "track only" pad, but I find them to be fine on the street. They're a $359 pad, but not what I would recommend. I'm setup now for track days. You would use the AP2444 R4-S pads for $199. Replace your...

Is that the car that has been for sale her on this forum?

Gonna track it?

That's not from a "track alignment". The whole inner band should be worn down, but your wear is at the extreme edge. It would take something like -4.0 to -5.0 degrees camber to create extreme inner edge wear. I'm guessing it's like that in one spot, not around the whole tire. Look at the...

I've heard the manual take rate has surprised GM, as they were only expecting around 35%. I'd guess much of that 15% C-7 Corvette manual market ended up in Blackwings. Manual cars are a funny thing. The CTS-V Wagon was in production for several years with something like only 500 being made...

This is a legal issue that has already worked it's way through the courts, precedents set and now the line in the sand is known by both consumers and manufacturers. They must be able to prove that the modified part caused the failure to deny a warranty claim. The throttle body is an OEM part...

I'm looking for a set of used rotors for the 4BW. Either take offs from someone upgrading to GiroDisc, or rotors with an issue that would need turning. I will even take rotors with spider cracking. Thanks

OEM car mats for Watkins Glen edition car and probably the Road Atlanta edition. Or for anyone that likes the red trim opposed to the standard black trim. Brand new in unopened packaging $250. Thanks

The Snowbikes are primarily ridden in 2 and 3rd gears. 1st tops out at about 5mph. You can never use 5th, they simply doesn't make enough power to turn a track that fast. 4th can be used on trails where you had time to fully max out 3rd and then cruise in fourth. It's not accelerating or...

After my first day of riding a Hawk, I knew I'd never ride snowmobiles again. The snowbikes are fun for off-trail in tight conditions, but they just don't have any power.

Being in my 60's I'm mostly done sliding cars around in the snow, especially a $100K car. After many years of skiing, I tried mono-skiing, then snowboarding, followed by snowmobiling. Then there was the day I learned of the existence of these things. If I'm going outside to play in winter...
