Picked up a set of Square wheels today. OG Volk's 18X10 ET 25. Pretty much doing a one for one trade between three friends. Running the staggered set up is not economical anymore for the track haha.

Ran BW CW 13 this weekend and ran a 2:03.4. 1 year ago today I ran a 2:12.XX, so, Ill take it.

NT01's for now. I think i should be able to get 25-30 heat cycles out of them from what i've been reading. If i stay on top of rotation and tire pressures I think it they will be good.

roastbeef · 03-07-2017, 12:15 AM

you'll take them to the cords before they are cycled out.

Anyone have a template for mounting a GTS wing? Or at least some tips on how to do it?

My OCD... it hurts.

What's so special about that undertray? Go to your shop have them cut aluminum or aluminite and screw it in lol.

This is how they screw us with the M tax!!

I've got to wonder if the front part of that tray plays a significant aero role. But agreed...you could probably just bend one yourself in 20ga aluminum. Cost would be less than $40.

This pretty machined crap is a rip off. I don't get why everyone pays $200 for stupid seat floor mounts. It's just $30 in aluminum and bust out the center punch and drill. No one tests them and then you'll notice the OE bolts will start wearing away the aluminum around the bolt holes. Where the soft aluminum is 1/8 thick.

Must be that Korean dong dae mun negotiating skills

I've got a cf sunroof cassette ordered and carpet is coming out before next track day in April.

roastbeef · 03-08-2017, 11:59 PM

Yes. The front felt is very functional. It is vital to proper cooling and it is also shaped as an air foil. The turner clip looks to have a similar step, but not curved like the oem felt.
Have you guys ever bent aluminum? It's very brittle and it's quite a process. The price point of this turner clip is going to determine how valuable it is... if that makes sense.

roastbeef · 03-09-2017, 08:34 AM

Just ordered some rotor rings and a fresh set of race pads! Got some track days coming up!
