It shifts a lot more in auto mode, which seems to increase the temps.

I believe the PP has the same trans cooler as the DH. Mine is usually between 210-220 on track. It has gone over 220 when using auto mode. I’d have to look back at my previous posts, but I think it was over 230 one time at Roebling. That helped me decide to use manual mode. Just warming up and...

Interesting. I'll give you my non-expert advice, but it is based on personal experience on track as well as prior research. 1. I recommend trying again with the car in Track mode. 2. Make sure transmission is up to operating temperature (close to 200) before pushing it. Mine shifts much more...

Thank you!

Are you running it in auto mode or manual with the paddle shifters?

I would wager that the issues mentioned in both of these posts results from the rear camber arm bolt not being positioned in the “furthest inboard point” as instructed in Steeda’s installation procedures. Installation instructions are attached; note step 4. When the the car is sitting on the...

I have driven on the street with the Nogaros and the three point harness, but not on track. I would say it would be some improvement for track use by only doing a seat swap, as it will reduce some of the sliding in the seat, but it won’t completely relieve the need to spend your energy keeping...

Stronger studs and open ended lug nuts for track use.

I’ve replaced the rear studs once and the front twice. The rear replacement requires removing the hubs, but the front can be done with the hubs mounted to the car. The actual stud removal and install is not bad if you have the proper tools. This is what I used for the install as the stud...

Here’s what I use. It works well on the Brembos. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/lil-29100?seid=srese1&ppckw=pmax-tools&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19201424812&gclid=cj0kcqjwzqxqbhd2arisakrieu8rhgrsav6093wric3srxpryblawb0tmbsj2duxxaq9yp1hfhsvkvyaatznealw_wcb

You get 17-20 track days out of a set of brake pads? The max I can get is 6-7 days (12-14 hours on track) before they are under 3mm. My OE rotors lasted through three sets of pads before the heat checking was enough that I felt like it was time to replace them. One difference is I do have the GT...

Did you get the G-LOC pads pre-bedded? If not, the R compound requires bedding for them to work properly. https://www.g-locbrakes.com/faqwd/whats-proper-way-bed-g-loc-r-series-compounds/ I order lots of stuff from Steeda, but the pads I ordered were not pre-bedded. Fortunately I checked with...

The rotor is not bolted to the upright.

Nothing holds the rotor in place other than the lug nuts.

2,155 miles calculated from home to each track then back. I figure by the time we travel back and forth between the track and hotel/restaurants, the trip will be over 2,500 miles. It should be fun, though.

So, I can’t remember what I ate for lunch today, let alone what the actual readings on my car were nearly a year ago. I do know if I posted seeing 289 at Road Atlanta, then that’s what it was. I don’t records temperatures every time; usually just when I see a higher average than average number...

Charitable deduction without itemizing doesn’t start until 2026.

I can confirm the Motorcraft 5w-50 Full Synthetic from Rockauto is the Ford WSS-M2C931-E1 specification and API SP oil, despite the image on their website displaying a bottle with the older API SN spec.

I just ordered the KPM800. Hopefully I won't have to refuel after every session now! :cwl:

So I finally broke down and after much researching, ordered the Motorcraft 5w-50 Full Synthetic. I didn't find any definitive answer on the S650 and using 5w-50 on track, but for sustained high RPM driving at high temperatures, I just don't see where running 5w-50 would be worse than 5w-30. (My...
