Spohn's Journal

SPOHN

I have been planning this for awhile and finally did it. I like the look. All I did was cut it out and sand down the rough edges where they connected. This weekend I'm going to purchase some mesh to put in it's place. I'm also going to buy some Plati-Dip to paint the center section. Those two things will really bring all this together IMO. I'm also about to purchase a power steering cooler so that will take care of the ugly OEM one.

It would be nice to see some black mesh in place, that would look great! It looks good, I'm glad you left the fangs.

I don't know how I feel about mesh. Reminds me of the big body kits back in the day

SPOHN

Yea but they had big openings. This doesn't.

Thanks guys. Going tomorrow to buy the supplies. Now that I have my pics the Internet is down at the house due to AT&T upgrading. Course there behind schedule as always. Wanted to spend this weekend reloading.

Thanks for posting those vids. Looks like a *really* fast course in places.

It's only slightly longer overall than MSR-Houston that I've been running on, but the fact that it's basically one big loop instead of how MSR doubles in on itself lends more lengthy speed sections. I'd love to get out there and run on this someday. What kind of top speeds are you seeing there in the Z? In the video I'm guessing a peak of 140-ish just before braking into that Turn 10 left-right pair of 90's? Hard for me to tell since my gears top out at different points than yours.

In the first vid that Porsche with the blinking brake lights is interesting, is that common at all? Seems like a nice hint for someone with less experience on the track following you. It grabs your attention better, and when you see those pulses, you know you didn't glance his way to catch a quick light tap, he's standing on them persistently.

Great videos Chris!

I hit just about 140 before braking, and thats with up shifting at 8000 rpm and braking a little later than Chris. I think my wing has cost me a little top end speed. Shifting at 8000 instead of redline from 3rd to 4th and 4th to 5th picked up 4mph.

Yea I hit 140 a couple times but mostly 135. I'll probably be able to hit it everytime when I go back with more confindence. From what I can see I lifted early slowing the momentum before braking instead of immediately lifting and braking. I could carry more speed in if so. But that will come in time.

Yea the Porsche had some interesting lights. It might be nice if I had a flashing one were our fog light is.
