Since the first start I tracked down what I thought was a coolant leak, but turned out to just be the AC condenser drain. Of course I had the manifold off looking behind the engine and found I had left the vacuum line off the map sensor back there, so not a total loss on…
Over the last couple weeks I installed new heads and headers to Cicada SDPC SDRCNC799STG2, which were on closeout for $1600 for a pair of brand new 799 heads with a stage 2.5 job on them. They are reportedly done by texas speed Morel 7717 lifters New GM trays BTR pushrods BTR rocker bolts Michigan motorsports MLS…
Yesterday I put my wang on. Install wasn’t too bad. Pop off the bumper Measure the wing mount distance Put the uprights on the car and mark triple check Notch the tub triple check drill the mount holes mount the uprights lay out tape on the rear deck Use a square to transfer the upright…
Clutch is in and oh my is it stiff. And a little binary. It’ll take some getting used to at low speed and I really really don’t want to drive it in stop and go traffic. My torque tube was damaged when the shop took it apart to inspect it. Luckily it hadn’t completely let…
Couple things prepping for a track day this weekend- I put some insulation on all the brake lines near my headers. The velcro style sounds easy, but my god was it a PITA. I think I’d rather just open my brake system and rebleed than deal with trying to wrap it and set metal zip…
First autocross of the season today. I was out with Windy City BMW at TireRack in Indiana. We had a fairly long loopback course. Pretty sweeping design. I ended up first in my class by quite a margin, and 4th overall. We always get a little bit different crowd at this event. A lot of…

First trackday of the year last night. Shaking the cobwebs off. No PBs, but set some respectable times. Followed a c8 z06 z07 for a while. Didn’t do too bad considering he had 250hp advantage. My autoblip didn’t like the MC change I made and wasn’t working. I think I need to make the switch…
I tossed in a tick clutch master. The clutch stuck a couple times at high RPM at blackhawk. It’s a common recommended solution. Now the clutch has a super short throw. Works for me, but it’ll make the engagement point a little harder to find. I’m hoping this doesn’t turn into a clutch replacement. It…
Nice day out at Blackhawk Farms. I put my old bridge back in so I was running exactly how the car was tuned. Blackhawk is a pretty brutal track for brakes and brakes are really holding me back right now. I think my ER1 pads were getting some pad fade. I think it’s time to…
