I'm having this issue! Was on track today and in two sessions I spun because adding light throttle around 3500rpm caused the car to surge and then cut power. It didn't help I was running my slicks on...

This year I've missed sessions due to a caliper piston getting stuck during a pad change, a rough paddock breaking off an oil cooler 90* fitting, an end plate on my wing rip off, and breaking a...

What sucks is when bits of your bumper are ripped off with the liner when it makes contact with the wheel ;).

The liner and the clips all kind of work together to hold shape. You can lose a few...

The z bumper is very surprisingly short! It's only 16", so of course there's no way a full 20" diffuser would fit :p. Lame, but that's okay! Share some pics of what it looks like when you have them!...

The mounting so far is two quick release mounts at the chassis and two fiberglass rods with titanium pucks split at the front. Total 6...

Updated progress

So I have totally neglected this thread, and I feel it's time for an update. I am super close to being done with the splitter! I decided to add diffusers, which further complicated my design!

So...

A 330hp car weighing 3000lbs is the same power to weight as a 363hp car that weighs 3300. Beyond that the lighter car has to be going faster to generate the same kind of forces on the tire at the...

You could always use Harry's as a backup to the garmin for video. Harry's actually isn't bad at all once you add a GPS sensor and go pro.

Too lean or rich codes that come back after some miles are often tracked to o2 sensors for long term fuel trim. I would replace the secondary o2 sensors (the ones after the cats) and see if that...

Racing junk, you can try and sell the shell, but you won't get much for it.

Honestly, you'd probably get more by trying to part out certain things, but that would take a lot of time and effort.

That is really unfortunate. I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully a local dealer might be nice and help out. Fwiw, I have seen quite a few vq37vhr going for sale for 1500-2k.
