Uh yeah, postponed due to holiday weekend craziness. The honest answer is that I was so excited to get up to the supercar event that I forgot the thermometer. As I pulled into the parking lot, it dawned on me that I had completely forgotten. I even had it out on the kitchen counter. Yes, spearfish dropped the ball. I'll post up some info as soon as the holiday festivities settle down. Nothing planned Monday so I'll do a little test then.

you really cant compare without getting on the same dyno....but if your car were much lighter than his and you had a really good launch it would be possible to beat him even with less power...

Engine bay temp update.
So there's nothing quick about trying to test these engine bay temps. I did a reading after a 2hr drive in 90F weather (parked the car in my garage). I placed the temp probe on top of the cam cover which seemed like a logical place for relative engine bay temps. With the A/C off and oil temps of ~215F, the probe read 171F. I switched the AC back on (and accessory radiator fan activated) and the temp slowly started to tick back down...however it was a slow process and I lost interest after about 5 minutes at 168F. I'll do it again when I have more time to see where it settles out.

Want to have stock pads for everyday driving. My pads are dead and need to be replaced and I'm also looking to upgrade my braking soon but didnt want to have to run race pads everyday. I want to have both and there's no point in buying them new when I have all you guys who already upgraded with pads sitting around. $131 new for all 4.
If I can't find a set soon I'll get HPS or something like that for the street and carbotechs for the track. Got a trackday coming on August 10th. Oh and for those who don't check my blog Last edited by RCZ; 07-15-2010 at 01:02 PM. |
