Elmo you drive or trailer your z to the track? I was able to sign up for Sebring in November, trying to decide if I should rent a trailer for the day or not.

Sebring bound tomorrow. Locked and loaded to be slow.

Car survived, back to the drawing board before tearing the front end off again. Coolant temps were high. IAT’s were 10 degrees over amibent, oil temps were hot but manageable
. Car is wicked fast though. Coming into turn 7 I’m a little
Over 140 mps compared to NA being between 118-122

So. This was my first time getting the car on Sebring. This was a good shakedown to see how the cardboard ducting was going to hold up vs not running on back in April. The duct tape and cardboard works, IAT’s were around 10-15 above amibent temperatures. Oil temps still get hot but not as quickly, so the oil cooler will have to be moved to side with its own ducting. Main issue is the coolant, temps were spiking within 1/2 lap, I had a warning once it reached 230 degrees. I’m going to put the car on jack stand again, bleed it out to get rid of all the coolant and replace it with 100% distilled water and water wetter, also removing the radiator shroud. Going to increase the hole in the front bumper. Nexen sport R tires are insanely good, I didn’t get a chance to push them that hard due to overheating, but coasting around the track the car managed to hit a 2:40 at one point in time. I’ve got some great data to go off and continue to keep trying things until I run out of options. Next test date is Nov 17 at the firm, and back to Sebring Dec 10 and Jan.

Waiting on new fuel line, oil cooler bracket to start to put the car back together. Private track at The Firm if anyone is interested.

Attempt number 2 to cool this itch down. Oil got moved to the drivers side, passenger intake filter gets in the way. Ac condenser removed. Bp kit didn’t make things easy getting the oil
Cooler bracket to fit inside the bumper.

Kinda suprised that the coolant temps are still high, also you are still using the stock PS cooler? I got tired of the PS fluid exploding all over the engine bay.

Yeah that one is throwing me for a loop. Maybe it being so thick the oem water pump can’t keep up and it causing some sort of cavitation. Yeah I’m still running the oem ps cooler. I just clean the mess up after each track day.
