I spend money when it makes sense. Paying top dollar for a set of tire warmers that I may use 2 times a year is just stupid. Even for an amateur track guy it doesn't make sense. So, you go ahead and demand the best and I will do my thang spending on what I deem important.

GP and complaining that some butt hole is burning something and 3 minutes later that butthole is you falling out your chair because your tire warmers are catching fire. Relating the experience of a friend remarkably similar to present day me. With tire warmers you either go all out or babysit them anytime they're plugged in. But I'm with Rusty, I'd rather drop 2k on a set of axles , a triple clutch or a cage with harnesses. Of course if I had everything and 2k was burning a hole in my pocket.......I'd buy an STI 2011. |

Tyre-warmers are banned in motorsport competiton down under in anything apart from F1.
Too many pit-bay fires in the 60's and 70's Besides, half the fun is your out-lap of half-warmed tyres .... old age and cunning usually beats youth and exuberance off the line and for the first half lap or so. All the kids run Pirelli "Gran Am"/GT style slicks which take 2 laps top come on .... me - I run Dunlops which are pretty much ready to run hard after the formation lap to the grid. Mind you, don't ask a Dunlop to do much more than a 10-12 lap sprint .. but a Pirelli will run an hour stint (or maybe even a double-stint). Last edited by BGTV8; 12-20-2019 at 09:04 PM. |

Hmm, I have been looking at a catch can setup for a while. I should have already got one but I haven't made up my mind which one to get. It is between SOHO's and Rampage Fab. I have a pressurized coolant overflow tank. Why would you want to delete the PCV valves?

Did you get the dipstick option to drain the oil back into the oil pan?

I don't see it list on their web site so you may need to contact Seb or Johnathan.
