The Firm isn't a real track. And it's got some serious safety issues.
Sebring is $200 a day with NASA. $300 a day with PDG, but you get more track time. I'm running with PDG at Sebring on the 12th. |
I need to make it out to sebring. Hard to justify so much $ but i guess its not an every week thing.
There is an FCRC on the 12th should you be interested in seeing how you stack up to the ole NA 1.6 NA :) |

I'll be at Sebring on the 12th.
It used to be $400 for two days at Sebring and $200ish for one. It must have gone up recently. They changed the rules last year that beginners couldn't do a single day. I didn't wee a single day option for anyone now. Performance Driving Group is who I am with on the 12th. I don't pay for track days on the days I instruct, so the cost varies for me. |

You vastly underestimate how much it will take to turbo your car and not have it explode.
Besides rule #1 with any automotive project is that it will take longer and be more expensive than you originally plan no matter what. |

So they say the 1.6 vlsd barely handles stock power?

There was a vid of me smoking an 03 cobra from dig, but was asked to take down

270 whp for 60+ autox runs (all with drag launch) and still alive. I think the 1.6 vlsd is pretty capable or I have a magic diff in my casing. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...cf5ec1724c.jpg |
Too much roll i'm thinking. 700/400 springs needed

My friend's stock diff died when he left a stoplight going slightly uphill.
My old car had a stock diff for 180k+ miles supercharged, turbocharged and autocrossed for years. Sometimes you get lucky, but that doesn't mean you get to be a snide smart ass. |

Maybe I should have said it differently but I don't think it came off as intended.
Brain is right though, the vlsd maybe survives or w/e, but it doesn't perform like a Torsen. |
I'm sure it doesn't perform like a vlsd at this point either. thing is a glorified weak-ass 6" open at this point.

https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...a618b4517a.jpg So at this point I have another NA shell with a rod knocked bp4w and supposedly an rx7 turbo torsen I can get a stock 1.8 or build the one I got. I think I'll have to get rid of one of these cars so I have to consider that as well. |
Opinions on my next ebay purchase? Looking to kill the floaty rear end around 80 mph:
this https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/lM4AA...56Z/s-l500.jpg or this https://i1194.photobucket.com/albums...psbzuqegre.jpg |
If I ever buy a wing it will be a cheap one so that when it gets stolen buy some dipshit ricer loser I don't have to worry so much. Or I will have to take it off every time I go anywhere other than the track, which is probably a good idea anyway.

I bought the CF one, apparently the ABS ones are floppy and just for show.

Hi Everyone, and thanks for reading this if you have up until now.
I removed the rear sub-frame as the alignment bolts were seized and of course the excuse to swap out the VLSD for a better option. I was able to find a complete MSM rear subframe, and the MSM front brakes for and will be installing them. Pics https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...7ef50af5c8.jpg msm fronts and the 1.6 vlsd https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...ef074da90c.jpg msm rear SF and components https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...3835400ced.jpg old crusty- anyone want? https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...30a4e7d4f8.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...110cfedd57.jpg |
I'm going to be making a front splitter and airdam, as well as potentially flat bottom and rear diffuser.
