And I have a warehouse I can dry my car off in.
I really only wash it once a month at the most. I think the Wolf's Hard Body coating has a lot to do with the cleanliness too. Dirt just doesn't cling to the paint like it did before.

I'll take a pic after my next track day for you. It gets filthy with brake dust and grime and tire clag. I did just get some Road Wrap to try out on the front bumper and side mirrors to temporarily protect the paint at the track without shelling out a bunch of money for a clear bra.

Testing a new stereo microphone. 1st-4th gear pull with E85. Both windows down.
GoPro mounted outside and mic clipped to back of passenger's seat. Brakes squeal because race car.

Still a little too much wind noise at higher speeds. Might try clipping the mic under the dash somewhere for my upcoming track day.

Sounds good. I have heard that if you put a sock over the mic it can cut down on wind noise.

Mmm Titanium!



These serve as heat shields between the front pads and the calipers for track usage. The titanium blocks excessive heat from getting to the dust boots, pistons and ultimately the fluid at the calipers.

Small update:

Just ordered the DriveWay Labs Rear Diffuser coated in black after seeing a pic of how it matches up...

Can't wait to have some more functional aero out back and completely get rid of the parachute that's created without the stock suitcase muffler in place.

Still need to swap on the PMU Club Racer pads along with the titanium shims, and bleed the brakes at some point before heading to Atlanta Motorsports Park this Friday. Really looking forward to getting back out on my favorite local track and burning some corn this time.

Thanks bro!

Lowered 20mm on RCE Yellows.

How long until you and Anastasia are reunited? Hopefully not too long. Save travels!
