OK, blew the engine at the track last week, Sebring, FL. So, engine is out, what are the recommended mods I should do while the engine and tranny are out.......... Current mods: Cooling: LDC head cooling mod, Evans Cooling mod w/oil cooler, LFP Heat exchanger and radiator. Power: 2.81...

Great track day at Sebring with ChinMotorsports with my 03 Coupe............however........ My rear seat caught fire, burned all the way through the foam to the suede. Anyone experienced this at the track? I'll now run with it out, but could this be from just a hot muffler? Weird. Any...

Ok, I know that I am running a pullied car (14psi) on hot tracks, but is there a fix for this overheating problem yet? Current cooling set-up and practices: Fluidyne Raditor and H/E Run only water wetter and water Hood vent mod Run heater full blast Head cooling mod Perform a coolant...

Does Hypertech make a 180 degree thermostat for our cars? If so where do I get one? I tried many searches, with no luck. All I could find was a 160. Are there any other quality brands that sell a 180/170? Thanks!

So, I'm running the Hawk HPS+ on front and rear. I also have the SS brake lines, cooling ducts, and high temp ATE brake fluid. I love the way these Hawks grab.......BUT they are tearing up my stock Brembo rotors. I can usually only get a set of the Brembo rotors to last for 2 track days...

The differential cooler was a little harder to accomplish than I expected, but I was probably a little under prepared too. Here’s a list of some of the items I used. Mocal Oil Pump ($175, Racer Parts Wholesale) Econo-Cool 8” x 11” heat exchanger ($70, RPW) ~11’ of -8 SS braided line ($55...

blah blah

I'm trying to remove the rear diffrential cover to drill and tap the holes for a differential cooler, but I really don't want to remove the entire diff. Is there a way to pull off just the cover without removing the driveshaft and diff?

2004 Cobra for sale for the serious racers out there. All I can say about this one is AWESOME!! http://sccaforums.com/forums/thread/170759.aspx

I am thinking about making my own diff cooler (out of my old stock heat exchanger). Does anyone have pictures of this? Mounting locations? Where good places are to drill holes in diff cover for pump lines? I did a search, but found no pics. Anyone? Thanks.

I just got back from a track day at Sebring, and my diff slowly leaks fluid after a hard run. I'm assuming it is from fluid expansion due to heat. Does anyone run a differential cooler? If so, what is a good brand/price/place to buy? Also, any other 'must' cooling mods to do for open track...

So I finally got around to installing Stainless Steel Brake lines on the front and back. And I also put in some Russell speed bleeders. Now no mater how long I bleed the brakes I get air coming out. I have even taken off the speed bleeders and have done it the traditional 2 man method. And...

I've done a seach everywhere I can think of. Who sells the braided stainless steel brake lines for the rear? I see a bunch for the front (tirerack, maximum motorsports, jegs, etc.). I don't see the point in just doing the fronts since now you will still get flex in the lines in the rear...

I went to the track for the first time after my pulley change....and was VERY dissapointed (also I have Nitto DRs)..... 60'.....2.093 1/8.....8.934 @ 83.84mph 1/4.....13.521 @ 108.95mph I ran a 13.1 on street tires before the pulley/tune at 109mph!! What is the deal? :shrug: I did...

I am currently running the new Nitto 555RII track competiton tires. I put the 275-40-R17's all around on the stock '03 Cobra rims. My car is also lowered 1.5" with H&R Springs. After one track session at Sebring, I noticed some SERIOUS tire rubbing up front. So much that the tires ate...
