track day 6 at homestead

Back on the track after new suspension install and fresh alignment.

Everything went very smoothly. It was a very hot day, but oil (motul 300v 0W20 and HKS filter) stayed in check always under 255F even under the most intense driving, oil Pressure stable at +-50.See my post in this thread about oil

My aluminum floor is so much better than the raw chassis, and my NACA duct provided me with much needed air flow under that hot day at the track.

The tarmac2 suspensions were very comfy, even with the 500lbs springs. I left them alone on default setting recommended by RCA: 9 from full stiff on rebound and compression. I 'll play with adjustment once I get everything sorted out but even as is, they did a great job.

My biggest problem was the new brake pads not wearing the rotor evenly. They are CL RC6E and I may have to change them for something more forgiving in term of bedding, even thought I was doing the pedal dance each time. See my post in this thread.

Overall the car is still a joy to drive so I will definitely be keeping it a bit longer.


FYI: TR3 Motorsports disappeared on me, they don't return my email or messages, very deceiving after all the time spent over there. I am sorry to report that I can no longer recommend that shop. They still have parts I am trying to get back.. we'll see how this ends up.
