The seat mount from Pro Car Innovations has a hole for mounting restraints. Initially, I took the seat belt buckle off the OEM seats and mounted them to the PCI bases with the Cobra seats. Later, I decided I would rather have the OEM buckles stay on the factory seats so I could swap them in...

As a relative newcomer to track driving, I can't give a definitive answer on the effect of specific setting changes. I went from a 340TW tire 275/295 setup at -2.7/-1.3 to a 200TW tire 295 square at -3.3/-1.8 and it was a major difference in grip. I suspect most of the additional grip was the...

I’m running -1.8 in the rear for the track.

I’m running -3.3.

As @RLE55 said, you can set the camber yourself fairly easily is you have a measuring device. I also use the Longacre Digital one linked in his post. The catch is adjusting the camber will also affect toe. In the front it isn’t a major change and you can probably get by making a street to...

This is my opinion (guess) based on research, deductive reasoning and personal experience from multiple brake pad changes, caliper/rotor/hub removal, brake fluid bleeding, etc. As such, do not rely on what I am about to say as absolute truth as I do not claim to have any insider knowledge. I...

I don't see where the stainless brake lines for the S650 are listed online any more. Are they not available?

I run Castrol SRF, and yes, it is expensive. I go through about 3/4 of a liter doing a bleed after each track day. I think most people run something a little less expensive such as Motul 660. As far as a ULV brake fluid, it’s really not necessary in a track environment. Where the low viscosity...

I have seen that, but wasn’t sure if the Voodoo engine made a difference in the best oil option for the track.

I’m going to send to Blackstone to have it analyzed. I’ve debated going to a 5w-50 (edited from my original post accidentally saying 5w-30) but there is nothing in the factory manual about using a higher weight oil when tracking. They do have a section on track use and increased maintenance so I...

You should not have any issues just cruising in quiet mode with factory or aftermarket exhaust. That is a much different use case than on the track at sustained high rpm.

Don’t worry. I learned my lesson. 😂

Update based on my experience this weekend at a very hot Road Atlanta track weekend. Ambient temps were 92, but on the asphalt in the paddock it was definitely hotter and no clouds. I saw my engine oil temp get up to 289 on a couple of occasions. In the later track sessions it would fluctuate...

As I recall, these were the temps at the time it threw the CEL CHT 230 EOT 260 Trans 215 In the later afternoon sessions I saw CHT up to 250, engine oil up to 289 and transmission at 221.

I shut the car down and restarted it before I cleared the code, and it did not display the CEL upon restart. I suspect I could have run again in track mode and had no issues even without using Forscan to clear the code.

I absolutely love the AWE exhaust. My wife was sitting in the paddock and said she knew each time I was coming down the front straight because of how deep of a tone the exhaust has. She said most of the other cars sound like motorcycles. 😂

That is correct; it is the AWE Switchpath. However, the Switchpath uses the OE connectors, so the valves are controlled as far as opening and closing in the same way as the stock mufflers.

It didn’t bother me too much because I kind of wondered if there would be any issues running in quiet mode. When the light came on I wasn’t that surprised.

I brought my own 93 octane from the same QT I use for every track event.
