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...
I am looking for a cheap hood to mod with louvers for heat extration. I found a 1999 new edge hood for sale. Does anybody know if it will clear the Eaton blower? Thanks
Finally got some time to upload videos from my second OT weekend at Sebring...
This a clip following my buddy in his 2006 GT with all the handling goodies. This is earlier in the second day and I had never seen my IAT2 temps and coolant temps running so high so I followed him around this...
Stupid question ... While changing out my front pads last night (thanks Sebring) it dawned on me that i just dont understand how the outside pads move in to make contact with the rotor. The inside pads have the pistons pushing on them but the outside? School me please
I have to replace my clutch now but the RXT is out of touch. I just missed the sale... What stock replacement clutches can I go with for now? I am making 488 HP/511. Thanks
Need some advice...
I bought my first '03 Terminator with 19,981 miles on it back in July. I love the car but I am afraid to drive it because I don't want to put miles on it and lower the value (has 20,890 on it now).
I am considering selling it and buying a high mileage replacement so I...
Have an opportunity to buy a terminator with 46K on her. Problem is, the HP severally declines starting at 5K RPM (470 HP) and is at 300 HP at around 5.8K RPM. The torque continues to climb to 481.
The car has 3" pulley 74" belt. In the pics, don't see any cusom idlers so I am thinking it...
