Can confirm, never heard of nor have I had a monoloc popout. The fork stop will require constant adjustment if you run it close enough to the fork to actually do anything, and again, its simply not needed with the monoloc. The fork stop was something that came out prior to the monoloc being a thing.

I know you asked Dallas, but I check mine before each event as part of my routine.
Sounds like nobody else is using them, so possiblity no need.

I definitely have no use for it, part of me enjoys the Russian roulette style driving this car requires

For those running brake ducts from the front of the car, have you found much difference between 2.5" to 3" brake ducting? I run mine to mounts on the caliper which then force air into the middle of the rotor like the binary engineering ones. After installing the 3" ducting from nothing I found a big difference in stopping capability however I'm looking to improve it further by running NACA intakes either side of the intercooler rather than just an open duct. There may not be a lot of room there for a 3" inlet though so I'm considering going to 2.5".

Have you also found much improvement replacing the various rubber mounts (engine, diff, LCA etc) with the harder delrin ones?

I immediately removed the urethane transmission mount... thats just too much vibration/distraction, so i have only 2 urethane mounts in the engine bay. I have all urethane bushings for the suspension. for me this is general maintenance and reducing variables when setting alignment. diff mount is urethane which i'm sure makes a difference when launching the car from stop, which would be rare

I have a poly roll stop I didn't really see any reason to replace the other mounts. I did do the rear diff bushings as well. All of my non-spherical suspension bushings are now poly. That was a no-brainer for me as the OEM stuff allows for a lot of unintended movement. I noticed the most difference when I took it to autox. The car definitely feels sharper everywhere, though.

Hey gents. QQ, does the CT9A have a fuel pickup issue below quarter tank? I felt some hesitation while going over a crest so had to quit my session.

So I finally got my track day... nothing broke yippee!. EvoX brakes, SRF fluid and cooling helped but I still dont have much confidence. I cant go to COTA with these lol. I'll need to have different coilovers for autox and track so I'm going to work on that next.

I can't get my X brakes to fade. ST43s, Ti shims, SS pistons, good fluid....
I'm impressed.
But, if I can go with something aftermarket that works as well and lets me go back to a 17 inch wheel, I will definitely do that.
