They are very pretty and I suspect will cool much better due to a more open hub design and the neat cooling channels between the rotors

After about 2 years of Hard driving and occasional track abuse I have developed an leak between my exhaust manifolds and both Berk HFCs that are generating O2 sensor "Check Engine' lights (specifically P2A00, P2A03)

I have a Gopoint OBD2 module permanently mounted and blue-toothed into my phone, so resetting the light is just a button tap away, but the leak is noisy and eventually I'll have to get my emissions done again, so I'm fixing with a new gasket from Z1.

Z1 Metal HR/VHR Manifold 3 Bolt Gaskets

With luck these will seal the leak and get me back to the track with no more leaks.

I just ordered a Z hitch from Fastguy9r.

This should be the beginnig of a cool track trailer project. I'm hoping to bring gas, track tires, fuel, a shade tent and some tools on a small trailer. The biggest benefit will be no more fuel fumes in my car from leaky gas cans on track day.

Gaskets are in. It was kind of a bitch, but the o2 codes are gone!

here's the burnt out gaskets

I'm headed to the track this week so my hawk ceramics are coming out and Hawk plus pads are going in. they are dusty and loud, but I ran the ceramics on the track for a lap day about a month ago and missed the no fade reliability of the race pads. I will probably swap the plus pads back out after track day is over.

Nice man, can't wait to see it on the car, as mine is silver as well. So many wheel options, I can't make up my mind.

SurfDog 09-24-2014 05:02 PM

I've been running two sets of 19 inch rays. OEM 09 silver, and 09 with black powder coat. I like the black better. (Some pictures of both are above in the thread)

Nice build! I saw that u installed the 2 piece rotors, the look like they might have been installed backwards. I think the vanes need to be towards the front

:bowrofl: was hoping nobody would catch that. So embarrassing and so true.

In my defense I did catch it last brake change and am planing to swap them when I pull off my track pads next week.

Actually I'll probably do them once the a arms arrive. Less trips up onto the jack stands!
