Ive ran with the KA before, but this is a different ball game. Front tires left much to be desired because it would understeer when the compound on the yokohamas i had would heat up tremendously, but straightline speed and otherwise high speed corners is where the car excels. Coolant temperature after a few laps went up to around 90-95 degrees celcius. Oil temp was around 250-260 degrees. So i was letting off for a lap or two to let it go back down to 85 coolant and 200 oil.

Straightaway speed, and the torque pulling me out of the corners, kept me in front of the Yellow Z06 vette, and quite a few of the porsche 911's.

Next month is, AVON A6 slicks, DOT 5 brake fluid, endless brake pads, and some brembo slotted rotors.

Silver Z06 was faasstF ck! Blew an intercooler pipe... Its hot outside! let me get out!Miata tried overdoing it to outrun me and ended up like this and almost getting hit by me.Got around it fine though. Theres probably more good ones, ill get em later.

That looks so fun! The nearest road course to me is about 3 hours away and you have to go through some training on the course, so it is a huge hassle for me to even bother. Some people have all the luck

Just a side note...Your oil catch can is not hooked up to "catch" oil too well. Basically just setup as a stock PCV system minus the reroute to the intake. You really want to change that because the crank case is being pressurized under boost when the PCV valve is closed. Refer to the oil catch can threads that were floating around a few months ago.

Huh?

My Catch can does route back to the intake. Ill post pics later. That system isnt seeing boost whatsoever.

More pictures coming, btw, this is the track i was racing at.

Sorry my bad! It looked like both lines on your catch can went to the valve covers from that angle.
