Got a track related question? I'll try to answer.
What you did there, I see it. LoL I was under the impression that 'added paddle or electronic shifters' meant anything added above the BTM, which for us would be the automatic transmission that is a factory option as opposed to the manual tranny that comes standard in the base trim model. I would love to not take the points, but I think you're right right, I'll take it up with our chapter director. I also assumed the same to be true of our spoiler, which is oem, but again an option above the BTM which comes without a spoiler. And we did notice rue difference the oem spoiler makes. We had the car for two weeks before the spoiler arrived at the dealer and had already done about 1600 miles with no spoiler. The oem is surprisingly effective. Edit: I should add that we had the spoiler added as a cosmetic detail when we first bought the car, and had no competitive plans at the time. I can't see removing it now as it would feel naked.

Anyone who would argue that the at in the brz is an advantage is doing so purely as a technicality and would be falling under the unsportsmanlike clause in the ccr if I were the RD.

If fluid expansion is an issue, a vent can be added to relieve the pressure. It would be great if a radiator could be avoided short of endurance racing. I'd want to avoid the complexity and noise that a system like this one would have. Last edited by dradernh; 07-27-2014 at 10:57 AM. |

Both the aftermarket diff covers on FT-86SF made a point to say that they included ports for temp sensors and fluid coolers. That makes me think that it's not included on the OEM setup.

Does anyone that knows NASA TT rules know if the spherical bearing in the cam plate will cause a points assessment per suspension rule E.22? Metallic and/or spherical-design replacement suspension bushings +3 (except for pillow ball camber plate joints, sway bar end links already assessed points in E.7) above, control arm spindle/knuckle joints already assessed points in E.9) above, and panhard rod, Watts link, torque arm, and third links already assessed in E.19), E.20), E.21), E.22) above.) Rule E.7 for reference even though it does not apply: Add, replace, remove, or modify anti-roll bars (“sway” bars—front, rear, or both) or end links—may have spherical joints on the end links and/or relocation of the mounting points without additional points assessment) +2 |

One thing I'll say about suspension though, specifically spring rates if you are looking to make any changes in the future. I had a set of RCE Tarmac II clubsports with 400/400 spring rates. I moved to the KW V3s that have a slightly softer front rate to rear rate (340 Front and 400 rear) and was very happy with the softer front. Turn in was much more precise and though there is a hair more body roll, the steering at speed into corners was fantastic. I know many more people think that you should have stiffer springs up front due to weight distribution, but that wasn't my experience at all. 3 track days since the switch on my coilovers and spring rates, and I couldn't be happier ... I know though ... there are a ton of people that say the opposite ... I can only tell you what my experience has been ...

almost all the time attack cars(86/brz) over here in japan run stiffer springs in the rear too.

Mike, I just completed my 10th track day last Friday. My lap times are improving and more consistent. I've basically followed the recipe you laid out in your sticky. Now I'm looking for some "next steps" for both car and driver. Goals: 5 or 6 track days per season, my car is a DD so I want to maintain a reasonable comfort level for street driving, I'm willing to mod the car but want to minimize the expense. To date my mods are: RS3's in stock size, RBF 600 brake fluid, CL RC5+ pads, Perrin panel filter, Grimmspeed strut brace, Grimmspeed master cyl brace, Harry's Laptimer for both video and data.
My initial thoughts are crash bolts and alignment, slotted/drilled front rotors, and more track time. Input would be appreciated. |

I noticed some tracks require you to have wood under any jacks and jack stands.
I don't know much about quality but I know there are different grades available. If I got a sheet of ply wood and cut it to size for my stands and jack, what grade/quality would I need to support the car?
