Holy lack of updates for 5 months or so :)

The TL;DR recap is: Back in late October I had a drivetrain failure on-track again. I knew the torque convertor was basically destroyed from how it...

Yeah SCCA's classing system and the politics of it is what drove me from wanting to put my Z in their road-course classes, ever. I was planning to hit NASA instead and just do their ST[321U] system...

Speaking of Hawk, I've been pretty impressed with their DTC-series pads so far. With DTC-70 front and DTC-60 rear, the rear bias is a little high leading to a bit of ice-mode tendency, but it's not...

I never look at used tires with the air out, but if it used to have tread in the middle there and now it doesn't (vs the outer edges), then the tires were over-inflated.

Putting together your own kit is fine, but please do use steel-braided lines. Things will rub on things, sometimes in ways you don't expect. Braided lines is cheap insurance against a cut hose.
