OK - I'll bite. These studs you mentioned. I am not following. The only radial mount or caliper fasteners I see are shown in the pictures below. Can you clarify if these studs replace either of the bolts... -
I see that now. Thanks!...Leave a comment:

For those of you who have previously installed one of Lee's kits - do the front radial mounts use the existing bolts that are used to mount the OEM caliper bracket to the strut tube?

mwagner10702 commented on mwagner10702's to Upgrades during COVID-19 and First Track Day of the YearI don't recall the rubber looking ratty, but looks can be deceiving. I'll pick up a complete center carrier for when the driveshaft is out again. Any feedback on brands such as Febi vs. SKF vs. BMW O... -
Tire are Pirelli Trofeo R 225/50R15. Did not have any software last year to track lap times or G forces so I don't have a comparative.

I have not weighed it, but I'd guess it is close to whatever the OEM weight is (~2700lbs). I have not lightened the car other than removing the rear seat (to facilitate the roll bar) and added an OMP...Leave a comment:

SECOND TRACK DAY - SUSPENSION UPDATE:
I continue to be impressed with the TMS J-Stock setup. Had my second track day yesterday (6/25) and lowered my time by 1.74 seconds from my previous...Leave a comment:

I think it has to do with ZDDP levels. Their conventional diesel oil has ZDDP levels ~1450 ppm. Their T6 synthetic is ~1180 ppm. This is not the full story however. Rotella Diesel oil has less wear properties...Leave a comment:

I read somewhere that too much ZDDP can be as harmful to your engine as not enough. I'd be careful when adding ZDDP to any oil in an attempt to raise levels. Most major oil companies recommend against...Leave a comment:

PIR is a fun track. 1.977 miles. Some find it boring as it is almost flat with no elevation changes but there are enough challenging sections to keep you on your toes. You have two long straights, a double...Leave a comment:

That had crossed my mind. I think the mid-engine NSX platform lends itself towards more caution especially if you find yourself too hot mid-corner. Lifting oftentimes will snap the rear around. Pro drivers...Leave a comment:

Upgrades during COVID-19 and First Track Day of the Year
I spent the better part of the COVID-19 shelter-in-place having some upgrades completed on my car. This started out as a project to fix a couple small leaks around the transmission and then thought “well... -

Front Spring Pads
What is the downside to NOT running spring pads in the front? Is is mostly to minimize NVH? Has anyone run an upper pad and no lower or vice versa?
Thanks in advance.
