Good to know that. That sounds more better than my guess theory.

Why are you painting your calipers? They will heat discolor during your next track day.

Rob, I was just reading through your site (great site BTW). Do you get a CEL with non-emissions legal catch can setup?

You won't have any problems if you put the catch can in the PCV line. I'm not so sure about my current setup. I do occasionally do get CELs but I have the air pump removed without the bypass device.

Because I don't like the red paint that was already in it so I stripped it and repainted it with Duplicolor caliper paint.

Looks nice Ron! I used the Duplicolor spray paint. It seems to hold up pretty well, although I am not generating the same heat in the brakes as you fast guys. I think the spray will hold up better than the brush on stuff. Either way, once it's covered by brake dust you can't see any discoloration

Thanks Kevin. I wasn't going to paint it but I can't strip off all the red paints so I decided to just cover the entire area with silver paint.

The silver paint should hold up decent...I know you don't care about the bling bling

Ugh, I want to sign up for the TrackDaze RDE for Monday-Tuesday..it's 3 hours track time per day!! $180 per day or $310 for two. It is intermediate+ solo though..I don't know if I am at that point. Is anyone going to that?
