I must say even with the poor balance on these cars, you are right, you can compete with some pretty expensive sport cars in HPDE 3/4. I have very basic chassis mods and like you said, decent tires and track pads work fine for competiveness. I do have some engine and IAT2 temp concerns when...
Pertinent thread - have been doing a lot of thinking selling and getting a track car. I have had my '03 for over 8 years. I started running it it HPDE back in '14, maybe 7 events total so far - making small mods like sub-frame connectors and H&R race springs to help with handling. Not sure how...
I have the same rubbing issue on the drivers front hitting the fender inner liner, even messed up a harness that is in the area. I have H&R race springs, wih X2 ball joints, she sits low - I was thinking about a spring rubber. Did you ever solve your rubbing issue?
Just ordered my KMJ, I am on my 3rd failure with factory then reman, might as well try KMJ. The reman that just failed is less than 8 months old, one previous track event and a few street miles and just failed session 4 out of 4 at a track event this weekend - I'm sick of it. What pully sizes...
I have ran mine 3 times at Sebring and once at Daytona. The second time at Sebring I had VMP actually de-tune it backing down the timing and adding some fuel losing about 7 HP. Even with that mod I could only run hard for about 2-3 laps at Sebring then had to wait for the IAT2 to get down to...
I had this issue- idle would go from 700 - 1000 RPMs, worse when A/C is on. Replace the IAC, fixed that issue but now when I first crank it up the idle jumps to 1800 RPM for about 3 seconds then comes down to 900 RPM. I am hoping it is just due to the computer learning the new IAC.
NASA Daytona Nov 1st (added new vid link)
Nice cool day that this car needed... NASA-SE combines HDPE 3 and 4 so it was a little busy out there at times. Here's a link to a first day run.

2/23/2015- I got lucky and scored some free Daytona...
Last time out at Sebring, I warped a stock set of rotors and went thru a set of Hawk DTC70. This time out, I had a brand new set of slotted rotors and DTC70, cracked the passenger sider rotor, pads are spent. I bedded them per procedure.
What rotor pad combo do you guys recommend for a 3600...
Wish I could make it to the June NASA event... Looking at some previous video will have to do for now.
In this clip, my instructor suggested that I take my buddy who was here for his 1st HPDE event and show him the track. Made my best attempt to show him the proper lines...
