DC isn't THAT far of a drive... and I have some friends in Richmond that want to come up for rides and to check out the car. Good luck in CAM! If Kao doesn't run you might have a shot, lol |

Installed OEM camber bolts/crash bolts/service bolts. Should be good for ~0.2 degrees of camber gauge. I don't have an adapter for 19" wheels for my Longacre gauge, so no before/after measurements...
Midway through the swap on one side. Total PITA, you have to hammer out the splined bolts. Radial mount caliper with a whacky formed brake line means you need to buy bolts to slide the caliper off of the knuckle to support it... Just dropped this side on the ground, so this is before it settled. After settling on the other side |

I went to an autocross today that was interesting... I was 2nd in PAX and first in A Street.
Here's my fastest clean run: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wr_mActidUY and my fastest dirty run: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8q8VOtlsQ |

I'm likely signing up soon.
Nope, but half throttle still feels fast, lol. It was a serious speed maintenance course for me. The ND Miata that beat me (raw timed me too... but we both went faster on dirty runs and I did beat him then at least, lol) was WOT on the rev limiter through the first slalom and the slalom stuff on the back stretch too, not sure if they tried third gear or not. |

Yeah I bet, you definitely were maintaining speed through laying off the throttle prior to slaloms, etc. Will have to try some of this out with my car, might be giving it too much throttle!

Signed up for DC I may also sign up for NonCompPM and work twice/pay twice to get another 4 runs... Undecided.
Yeah, it's easy to over use the throttle and brakes. Constantly accelerating and decelerating is a good way to upset the car. Maintenance throttle to control your speed while just steering is a great way to gain comfort in slaloms and such. |

Very good tip, will have to try that this time out. I was definitely getting aggressive with the throttle last time in some spots and had to counter steer/lift to get back straight.

I forgot to post it before, I installed the Ford Performance passenger side air/oil separator. FP makes a driver's side separator too, but even on the track the driver's side stays pretty much totally dry so I didn't bother with buying that one.
I drained it today, after about 750 miles or something. SSC Tint & Graphics did a killer job on my new numbers, super happy with how they look! |

Haha, makes sense with heat expansion. There's a civil war going on about catch cans on the Camaro side of the aisle. I'm on the fence, personally. If I were tracking more often, maybe? Already thinking of either orange base with the matte gray surround or vice versa. I need to call him and get some numbers. Painters tape is so cheesy looking on a new car.

I'm curious why anybody would be against a catch can? I mean, it creates more points of failure, but a well engineered unit it's probably not a big deal. For those that have done catch cans, are they trapping fluid? The Ford V8s definitely trap fluid but not huge amounts... but they're still PI and not DI (2018 has PI/DI, so still no valve crud issues)
