oil and water Temp, WOW

Appreciate the info. Yeah, mostly just playing around. I have AP Racing Pro5000R brakes on some of my other cars, so I get it. We used to use Racing Brakes Stainless steel pistons in our 987 race cars OE calipers with great results. Will see if they are willing to make some pistons for the sport brakes. If not, might do some AP stuff but for now car stops just fine.

This was the “first round” of upgrades and seeing how the car is on track to identify the weak spots. I track/race all my other cars too, so the Z doesn’t see tons of track time but I still want it prepared as good as it can.

But cutting holes in the hood just isn’t going to happen so I’ll just deal with it and do everything else. Oil temps aren’t really an issue on this car, 250-260 is fine with a high quality oil and thicker viscosity, with frequent changes. My brakes don’t have any issues for the tires I’m running. Coolant temps stay on 7 almost always, unless I stay out long in crazy heat, so that also easy to manage for the time being. But you know how it goes, we always are tinkering and wanting more! Lol. I’m

The ABS is the current limiting factor as I’m not going to run anything stickier than 200TW tires until I get a fix. Bosch Motorsport just got back to me about the ABS discussion so hoping to have some good news about that.

I'm running RacingBrake rotors, Ti heat shields, 3" cooling duct hose, 10/8 Carbotech brake pads. The heat generated with fry the dust seals in the calipers, Turn the powder coat a different color. And brake fluid will leak out of the bleeder screws. Have Mich Cup tires, 80TW. No ice mode yet.

Did you do the YAW sensor mod?

Did you do anything for the fuel starve on right hand turns?

Some CF hoods that are painted (with vents left exposed CF) look pretty clean, more so than the trackspec vents. Although I like the motorsports look with the track spec vents installed. I’ll be nervous to take a saw to the hood one day tho lol

CF hoods are hot and miss for fitment. Ask me how I know.

Cutting the hood isn't too difficult, we all did Ghostvette's vents half-drunk in about 2 hours

I sold my stock hold years back to get it out from under my bed for like $100. Now - I feel beyond stupid after I went sc - the amuse front is full and I have a cf hood with some venting. heating fun sure started last summer! I wish this had bigger/more vents. I would find some doorknob like me that would sell you a hood - cut that one up and keep yours if you don’t want to touch it. Good luck!
