I used some high temp aluminum duct tape from Lowes, seems to be working well. I have a giant roll of you want to use some of mine Oleg.

If you remove the rear heat shields, its probably a good idea. I dunno how much it really does though

but Rob did it, so I did too.

Can't hurt and is pretty easy to do. Or you could run separate ducting directly to your ball joints!

So who is doing the Mercedes event at the end of the month? Pete did you say they give you more time than Track Daze, or is it pretty comparable? 4 30 min sessions?

You should get at least as much driving time if not more.

What's up guys.. I was adding my NASA TT points for my car (as she sits). Currently I am at 27 points without the weight assessment. I have a couple of questions.

What is the minimum weight for TT-B? The last time I weighed the car, she was sitting at about 2580 without driver.
Forgive my noobness, but is the J's Camber joint considered "Suspension - Alteration of ball joints/dive angles. +2" (Suspension # 19)?

Thanks!
