mike, just get the car right to come out to the track. i wouldn't worry about co-driving etc. ain't no rush but there is plenty of time to trash talk some more.

also it take much more than just driving the lines to get solo'd or moved up, homie.

Marc, best get your sponsor straight. $hit ain't a game son.
My plan was to pay RT to keep Mike's car off the track so I wouldn't have to point him by. So far its working perfectly.

I have no suspension adjustments, just Aero on rear wing, far as I know no adjustment on splitter but the designer can clarify. The car is similar to the car on Ohlins, ok sort of, but its stiff. I think Aero done correctly will really improve car. I will run the RA1's at NJMP and then get me some used Hoosier R compounds for Glenn. Figure I will run my NTO3's on track with spacers.

I am buzzing on the wine, but I am friqqin pumped.

By the way if anyone wants a Team Winning custom Splitter they are $450 in gloss black, $475 in Matte Black. We will be selling them after the domination, place your orders...
Don't worry about NJMP but def shoot for the Glen in September with that link Thai posted. It would be epic if we had a bunch more EVO's there this time. So far the list is pretty decent, but more is always more better.

CU, whats going happening on the 9th? Some of us are autoxing on the 10th at CBP, thats what you need to come out to and run your car!


Mike, you have to get off that corn before you track, esp if you and Aaron are gonna co-drive your car. You would need 50Gal of E85, that is ain't available near the track either. That is strictly MO, of course.

Not gonna make NJMP. WGI is more likely, but it's probably going to be really expensive after Mike gave my wifey some suggestions for compensating for my track weekend

Also, did I just get turned into a splitter manufacturer? Not sure when that happened

I'm going to seal up the bed of my truck and use it as a fuel tank. We go through 3-4 gallons just at a single day autox event between the two of us. More during the Pro.

i bet there is e85 close to WGI. it's just a hunch and i could be wrong. i just think the farther "out there" you go, the more available it is.

Mike - My buddy and I will be co driving at the njmp event, and signed up for different run groups, so hopefully that works as we don't want to split the time.

Thermostats can go bad every year if you're that unlucky could be the case if your car was sitting 2 years and only 1000miles?

If WP had 40+k on it should of been done at the same time of TB and HG.. just to have peace of mind.

For Valve cover issue check if you haven't already.. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...lve-cover.html
I run a CBRD radiator. Supposedly RT burped all air out of system. Guess the thermostat and WP will just be replaced after this fiasco. I thought I did the water pump and oil pump a few seasons back, the HG and TB gaskets are recent.
I assume a compression test will tell me if I have a bad HG and if rings are bad?

My ACD pump went out years back. I sourced a working used one and have been good to go. Good luck with the rebuild and other car headaches, those kits were not out when I had a problem with mine.

I wish it was more available at the tracks we frequent. I would be all bout it bout it cause there are SO many advantages to running it in a track car. Could you imagine running 27-28psi all day instead of 20, lol. I'd be going thru pads left and right.

I'll stop by and watch for a while. I won't run my car until I'm off of the night shift. It should still be fun.
