I think I paid somewhere around 750 for my hood brand new.

Regarding your cooling issue, what are the symptoms? Do you have an aftermarket radiator or OEM? What are your temps at?

NA, Stock Radiator Water&Waterwetter, 34 Row Setrab, CJM Oil Pan, Mocal Thermostatic Plate, CZ Power Steering Cooler. Air Temp Avg 70F, Peak ECT~240F, Peak Oil~270F stock gauge, takes about 10-12min to get there. I've eliminated everything else that could be causing issues besides airflow. Like you said the CF ones look better IMO but I don't think it will justify the added cost.

Anyone going to Gridlife Midwest Festival in Michigan next weekend? I'm extremely excited to get the car out there with some of the best.

I'm hoping to get my oil pan in from CJM before the event. I Picked up some GLoc pads for the event too. I'll have my gopro strapped to record some times. My best at Gingerman raceway was 1:49:xx (first time on the track).

Below are some pics from my previous encounter at Gingerman:

I have a question about your cars classification in gridlife? With those fenders are you considered street, or street - mod?

Mmm track days...

Jmatchley86 05-30-2019 07:42 PM

Double header for me next week!! TNiA at Cresson 1.7 ccw and then a weekend with The Drivers Edge on the same track but CW!! Anyone in DFW area going?

RN SHARK 05-30-2019 09:22 PM

I just did Hyperfest with NASA at VIR and doing a TNiA at Charlotte roval June 6th, mainly because it is hard to get on that track. Anyone else going?

My last track day was photographed by a guy who does portrait photography.

1/2 the shots were blurry, the other half unimpressive angles

Meh, just nice to see the burgundy beast movin

:ugh2:

I’ll be boosted next year, I’m interested in how it will hold up with the custom Ron Davis radiators. Hope I can keep all temps in check. Oem suspension will Be tested.

Just finished my weekend at Gingerman raceway out here in Michigan. Man, what an event! Probably one of the greatest track events in the US in my opinion. Time attack, drift, car show, vendors, VR Racing, camping, and a music festival all in one event!

I managed to bring my time down 6 seconds from my first hot lap. I'm running some really shitty tires ($400 achilles) to get my feet wet. I'll be upgrading my tires for my next race event. All in all, it was a great experience.

I've got a few vids on my instagram and a ton more coming. I haven't posted any on youtube yet. For those of you that have instagram, check out my vids at @z34_motorsport.

just saw this. This would be considered street class. Rules state "needs to be OEM material." My fenders are modified OEM fenders.

also - need some suggestions.

I'm stuck between two sets of tires. NEXEN SUR4G 275/40/18 and Federal RS-RR 265/40/18

both are about the same price. The nexens aren't offered in 275. I'm currently running 275 and contemplating bumping down to 265. I've got a buddy who swears by his nexen tires. Anyone try the Federals?

How does one get stuck with two no-name tire brands? Class restriction?

I’d love to hear how those two brands are considered “no-name.”

The only reason I know of those two brands and tire models are through Motorsport & recommendations from fellow track rats. I’m not going to go out and spend $1500 on tires if I’m only doing HPDE events at this time.
