SPOHN'S Journal II Track Demon Reborn

Those rear quarters look like great places to mount NACA ducts, I think travisjb had a scoop on one of his with a NACA underneath, or something, but IMHO just the NACA opening by itself would be good and less wind resistance. I think in the long run I might put one on each side, and run one fresh air hose down towards the trunk area for diff cooler airflow, and use the other as fresh air flow for a Cool Shirt type system and/or helmet duct.

Haven't had them off the 370 but man are the doors heavy on the 350. So much to be gained there!

They're not steel are they? Ours are aluminium.

yeah, I had to replace one after a mishap at VIR and we were shocked at how little they weigh. Aluminum FTW!

I'm still blown away though how heavy the car is!! Aluminium doors, hatch and hood, carbonish driveshaft, radiator support, and other things I'm sure, and still weighed more than my 4dr AWD WRX with heavy steel everything.

Megan370z · 01-03-2014, 08:07 PM

How long is it?

SPOHN · 01-03-2014, 08:52 PM

18'

SPOHN · 01-04-2014, 08:53 PM

Total weight of car as of now. 2831. Half a tank of gas. Full roll cage.

Still need 2pc rear rotors and single exhaust. There's some more very little things to be had but this is about it without going crazy. My doors weigh 9.5lbs now.

Track alignment. Setup to the tracks I'll be visiting. With the best turn in possible. Might have to be adjust some more pending track day testing. This was a string alignment.
F-3.0 Camber........Total Toe 1/8 out
R-1.8 Camber........Total Toe 1/16 in

Wish you had an exact weight on the turbo kit. Be nice to know the NA weight.
