    With my history and my engines being 100% consumable I am definitely gonna keep a spare at all times lol. The cost of doing business I guess! Thankfully the entire world is obsessed with k24 leaving the k20’s for me!!

    damn that makes it very clear. Lighter fluid is cheap and easy enough to get. Works amazing looks like Yea this needs to happen asap. I would like the parts horde to grow. Got some good stuff here and these k20's seem to be getting cheaper and cheaper. The space in my garage where i was gonna...

    Yea we get screwed all the time. No more real brake clean has been killing me since its basically all i can use in my garage to clean stuff up. The chemical guys product was crazy good at removing the really stubborn stuff. I havent found anything that works as well yet. Will revisit in 2026...

    I used to use a chemical guys product called decon. Basically a straight wheel acid. As aggressive as it gets. That stuff worked amazing. It’s no longer available in Canada which sucks. Lately I’ve been using basic stuff from Canadian tire. Meguiars ultimate all wheel cleaner. It seems to...

    Last washing of the season. Ready for storage. Wheels have been washed and brought indoors for storage. Those tires still have a race in em so better to not ruin them. I always make sure to get the corrosive brake dust off the wheels and car before storage. It was caked. Now to get ready for...

    I always run a stagger but yea the age of the tires were too far apart. heat cycles and all. Its ok. It was a good day regardless. I will also add that the car is far from easy to drive. It’s not setup to be easy. I wouldn’t put a single one of my friends in the driver seat. Not even the...

    Front tires were 1 season old and donated to me by a buddy. They were brand new last season and he did maybe 4-5 track days on them. Rears are from 2021. Not sure on the date code. Probably 2020. They were my street tires that saw the odd track day. They are very low on tread and have probably...

    Building for the road course...again

    My thoughts is when the rear is most loaded up? One of our theories is it’s just too much setup for the tire. Even earlier in the season with the rs4’s the car was always a little extra loose. Never this bad but still more so then when I run my competition tires. Too much rear bar for the grip...

    haha yea it was a little spicy. Tons of fun though and some great lessons in car control. Yeap lol they will be street only/rollers now. They are cooked Its amazing how tires work lol. I have my fast setup in the truck but decided it wasnt worth swapping as this wasnt a serious hardcore event...

    Track day yesterday. Was a charity time attack event with some very..sketchy classing lol. Finished P3 in class which is OK. I was on my hankook rs4 tires which suck. Rears are from 2021 and well heat cycled. Extremely lesson in car control lol

    Well that clearly never worked because the error was for 60 seconds then you could post again immediately. I have been green for a little while now and never an issue. Considering this place is dead, and considering there are not many active threads or users here…limiting everything even more...

    I don’t know where I fall on the scale of better driver vs builder vs setup guy. I definitely know I prefer driving to setting up and building. I would like to go through my suspension and measure everything as well. Maybe this winter. I also use my camber plates in an interesting way...

    I think for time attack/GLTC these guys run some pretty serious cages which adds some weight back. Not sure if autox requires a cage? Either way those cars are crazy light lol. My car sits at high 2600’s/low 2700’s depending on if I have the rear interior removed. Class rules between series...
