Just these two could be over 10k.

and a roll cage and some brakes. Am I missing something?


Some laps at Motorsports Ranch in Cresson TX from about 2 weeks ago. Excited to be on track at COTA this weekend.

I have the Pinnacle Motorsport undertray. Fits well and doesn't have a bunch of useless cut outs/gaps like others. Easy to run ducting if you choose to do so

Bummer it's hard/costly for him to ship just 1 to US.

My understanding; OEM center felt can be run w GT4 lip ducting? Did a quick mock and def interferes w corner felts - removed and correct if I'm wrong still slightly touches center felt. Cheapest thing I can do if trim the felt / or the duct as I don't plan to ever run brake cooling ducts

I run with oem felts and have trimmed them. I only run the ducting for track days and it takes 2 minutes per side and 1 zip tie after I lift and remove a wheel. I run the Pom performance gt4 lip

[omgzirra_exe]

me use m porium now, my arkym GT has its owner undertray. if you have a vorsteiner rep it also has its own undertray.

[roastbeef]

I'm in the oem felt group. Functional, light weight.

[Exclusivs]

Yeah I got no qualms about using the felt.

No pics off hand in your guys archives where you trimmed eh? I'll get creative if not. Just curious

OEM Felt + FCP ftw.

I've got some big nostrils to go with my mporium. No fade in years.

Had a slide through the grass on Lime Rocks autocross course last weekend and wanted some feedback from the group. When I went up, a good amount of debris (rocks/grass/dirt) got lodged in the bead area. It was near the end of the day so I just packed up and went drove home. No issues on the ride back, deflated the tire and was able to remove the rocks, but still a bit of dirt in the bead area so the question is, is this anything to worry about or good to just re-inflate the tire and send it?


The other factor is that both shoulders are a bit worn (last picture, left is outside right is inside). The outside edge got beat up pretty good before I had camber plates (this is a clockwise course and this particular tire was on the drivers side front and took the brunt of the abuse over two days) and the insides seem to have camber wear now from my majority street driving (3-4k miles). I might have the toe rechecked because to my eye that seems a bit excessive on the wear on the inside for my relatively mild 2.7* of camber over such a short distance.

Anyway, what says you?

Remove valve stem and deflate. Use a flat head to pick up the gravel. Spray windex liberally around the bead and inflate. Look for bumbles to check for leaks.

Edit: saw you already did this - Should be good to go.
