Chicago Area Cars & Coffee

Things I've learned from this track day:
1. Over-steer is our friend
2. I have more brakes than I have tires
3. An overheated VLSD no longer functions

To remedy this... I am now shopping for a Quaife (geared) diff, instead of the maintenance heavy clutch systems. ...it's also cheaper

Transponder nearly started an electrical fire. It is no longer with us.

Unfortunately, it took a dump before i could get a replacement mailed. June 9th will be a different story ;-)
