Ecutek tune now done, and today pulled the oil pan to inspect the pickup as track season is starting soon. 40-45% clogged with RTV. WAY too much RTV was used to seal that pan on. Very glad I did that. Also ditched the 0-20 oil for 5-30.

Put the front JRI Coilovers and Whiteline sway bar on last night. Will try and find some time today to finish up with the rear.

Do you think it's a safe assumption that cars delivered in May '23 won't have the excess RTV? Has anyone noticed when (if?) they stopped doing that?

Pulled the trigger on new street/canyon tires, Dunlop Sport Maxx RT2 in 225/45/17. I seem to go through tires every 5-6k miles, so when these went on sale I couldn’t say no. Surprisingly stiff sidewalls (actually induce some rattles in the cabin) and turn-in is noticeably sharper than the base Primacy tires. Actually more comparable to my track tires (gtradial sx2) in terms of stiffness. The reviews didn’t mention them being stiff so I’m guessing it’s because I bought an XL-load size (94Y). Haven’t had a chance to push these tires hard, but based on reviews the grip should be a step up from the Primacys, but not quite PS4 or sx2 level.
These tires seem to run true to size and clear a double camber bolt stock suspension front setup on 17x8 +42 with about 3-4mm to spare.

Re-topped the oil. No oil consumption on the first 7500 miles, a good amount on last 500 miles.
Will monitor that. |
