A few updates.

Raceseng Cas-Cam plates. Set to 1° at the moment. The difference is interesting to me. At Waterford, the feeling in the front is much more confident. The window between catastrophic understeer and catastrophic oversteer widens a fair amount. There is more of a sense of railing. The wear on the left front tyre was less bad. The temp of the left front tyre increased less compared to the rest of the tyres. I will do another day at 1°, then move to 2° and compare. The Azenis were less annoying. I realized that I only complain about the front tyres. A track buddy pointed out that after so long in FWD, duh, of course I am totally focused on the front end. I am used to having to be super precise with the front in ways that are not an issue in RWD, or at least that level of precision is not required in RWD at the level I am at now. Working on leveling up.

Jackson Dual Cooler. It's way easier to install than their excellent instructions imply. The hardest part is the stupid sidemarkers. Like what a pain. The rest of it was crazy straightforward. This is a must do for track rats. Holy moly. I was upshifting to reduce load due to high oil temps, and with this sucker in, I can't break 230°F. Like banging off the rev limiter for laps and not budging. I am sooooo impressed. I love their concept of burying the oil cooler in the rad end tank. That is just so trick, so elegant.

Very happy with both mods. Like getting the PP up front, spending the money up front is paying off in not having to deal with anything later.
