I'll start and get the ball rolling.
Anyone going to Gridlife Midwest Festival in Michigan next weekend? I'm extremely excited to get the car out there with some of the best. I'm hoping to get my oil pan in from CJM before the event. I Picked up some GLoc pads for the event too. I'll have my gopro strapped to record some times. My best at Gingerman raceway was 1:49:xx (first time on the track). Below are some pics from my previous encounter at Gingerman:

Some of my friends from work are going (Subaru guys). I really want to go, but I haven't put on my sport brakes yet (or went to any other HPDE event before)

you should go regardless to experience the event. It's amazing. PS, my EBC red-stuff melted so quick after 3-4 runs on the track, deff get some track pads before going out!

I'll be corner balancing my car this week to see where it's at. I plan on putting in a half cage over the winter with some lighter bucket seats but curious as to where I'm at right now. Will post results later this week!

From looking at your pic's. You need some supports in the center of your splitter before you lose it.

It’s actually the material. It’s ABS plastic, found out it flexes way too much and my center support bar broke off lol. I’m switching to alumalite this week.

Anyone do SCCA Track Night in America? If you have a local track good chance its on the list. Monthly track afternoon ( 4 sessions ) for a reasonable price. I lucked out in life and have 3 (one is a 2 in 1 with multiple ways) of em within 30 min and a 4th being built!!!

I'm still dealing with a heat issue. I'm 99% sure it's an airflow issue so now I have to decide how to fix that. Do I cut or replace the hood?

Regarding your cooling issue, what are the symptoms? Do you have an aftermarket radiator or OEM? What are your temps at?

Oil discussion not allowed.
Brake fluid = Castrol SRF Now that we have THAT out of the way... we can continue.
