New very informative video just dropped. what an amazing team. Professional Awesome had an appearance btw

 

People do still do it yea, I dont really see a benefit in it unless your having issues with heat in the cabin etc.

Most of the pro racing cars i work on dont have any of this at all, like you said they become an oil soak.

 

Thanks. Yeah I'm not sure why I started doing it LOL. something about keeping the heat in the tubes makes it flow better. I'll get a new downpipe when I replace bolts & gaskets

 

Epic video going to watch a couple more now, have subscribed too. I did have a good laugh to myself when you got the box back and said it would be installed in 20 minutes haha

 

i do find it ironic the guy with the EK civic wears a balaclava under his helmet but yet he has a cotton t shirt and ripped jeans on lol

 

They are entertaining in an HGTV kind of way
No wonder TRE isn't working on my transfer case!
I wonder what fluid he put in previously, local car parts store should have Penzoil Synchromesh, is that for a 6 speed?

Gotta watch the hair. It's nice to see theyre a bit relaxed on the clothing requirement. Our local SCCA time trial even allows cotton shorts now in order to attract more participants. Cotton underwear required.

I feel bad for the guy with his crankcase ventilation i$$sue. He should consider a catch can system with oil return like mine

 

I saw the video above and all I thought was man the folks on this forum can't even seem to get this company on the phone half the time but he got more or less same day service. Guess you guys better start being famous youtubers

 

i didn't watch the video but we were SCRAMBLING to get a hold of someone at TRE that day, reaching out to literally everyone we knew who might know someone. It also helps that gingerman is maybe a 45 minutes from kalamazoo

 

TRE is 90% impossible to reach for the average & new customers.
Dude seriously needs a secretary.

 

Jon@TRE probably inspected the cameras, making sure he's not in there

 

@Dallas J Can you please advice which degree of roll centre correction is best for specific applications?

I’m assuming for most of us here running 18” wheels with 25” diameter tyres doing more track mileage than street, 2” correction is the route to go?

 

The ideal scenario is to aim for RC to be around ground level. You can do above or below depending on your needs but I did some testing this year shifting RC 30mm above ground and 750lb/in springs and at ground level with 800lb/in springs. The 800 and ground level just slightly edged out the win for feel and front bite.

So If you run with a ~1" gap fender to tire (stock size tire) then a 1.25" upright may be the right option. Especially if you pair with the lower control arms and their 10mm extra adjustment. But if you are going all out and trying to get front CG as low as possible and closer to flush with the tire to fender then the 2" is the right choice.

 

can i still raise the front by adding preload? i don't imagine there'd be too much negative impact as long as u are always compressed more than what you preload, which i think i always will be even during acceleration

 

My TC is in, it took all weekend, Questions:
1) do all the subframe bolt holes need to be centered? the small bolt hole wasn't centered before so a bolt thread was squished. It came in the same way and I'm not sure if I can change that
2) new ring & pinion, is 1000mi break in required? Is ~200mi ok I wont be doing any hard launches
3) Is this the Koyo radiator people are getting for their IX? Any better options, mainly trying replace the OE rad before it breaks on me
