Re: Taking the plunge, 13 BRZ

Soft and low is my mantra. Of course the car touched the pavement 8 times on my fastest run at the last Ascutney. And that didn't even include this landing on the long course.

Re: Ascutney 2 - Thanks to all

Oh and I just want to complain. This is what Ascutney did to my transmission. I'm blaming it all on the mountain. The massive amount of torque the engine puts out and warm sticky tires had nothing to do with it. http://i1281.photobucket.com/albums/a511/kevin_gale1/2015-09-27%2013.46.00_zpsf0okjxxt.j...

Re: Howe Mod Heavy

The idea of the beehive spring is that you dont need as much spring when the cam first starts to open the valve. The smaller end of the spring offers less resisitance. Maybe you can eek out a few more rpm if everything else is maxed out. But with rocker studs-heavy valves + a fairly mild cam ( comp...

Re: I'm registered with the state!

Tire disposal is another issue, what do you usually do with your old tires? My local transfer station will take any number of them but they charge me for each one. I think was was $5 per tires and $10 for heavy duty truck tires. They didn't know what to charge for the modified race tires but I conv...

Re: I'm registered with the state!

I would also wonder if it might be to make sure they are properly disposed. If you decide to throw them in a ditch somewhere in theory they could be tracked back to you.
