Anyone going to NJMP this weekend with Trackdaze?

 

I'm out for some time....gotta fix a whole bunch of things

 

Not this time. I do want to make it up there sometime though. I have been to watch the Rolex cars the last two years. It looks like a lot of fun.

Did you get your clutch issue fixed?

 

Still on the same clutch. I get a bit of slip at the moment, but it should hold (for now). I'm really looking forward to a lighter set up. That OEM AP2 flywheel is heavy at 22lbs!!!

 

Great day at the FATT, lots of Instructors and small student turn out.

 

Damn.

 

Anyone near NJMP with Carbotech XP 10 or 12 fronts forsale. I thought I had enough pad for tomorrow. But it looks l was a bit too greedy on the brakes today.

Edit: Decided to cut my losses and skip day 2. On another note, I can't seem to figure out Lightning. I wasn't able to put down a decent lap. Lots of traffic & when it cleared I was a bit sloppy. Fastest was 1:17.2 per Harry's lap timer.

 

Oleg - How strong is the splitter material you used and what thickness did you use?

I need something to mount my accusump to in the trunk area. Total weight will be the three quart oil capacity plus 5-10 lbs for the accusump/mounting hardware. I want to create a sheet of thick plastic/alumalite? and remove the carpet/speakers in the rear hatch. I think in the end it'll look much cleaner and function better.

 

Cale's tire trailer drove down the driveway for the last time today. I got a little choked up. At least it's going to a good home to continue carrying S2000 tires.

 

I used 1/4 in alumalite. It is really stiff. It is a sandwich structure, meaning you have a vow density core material in the middle and a high stiffness material as a skin. This allows the structure to withstand high bending loads without buckling, therefore being a great candidate for a high stiffness-low weight splitter material or for any other structural duty.
