im curious if there is a real risk of damaging drivetrain components by removing CDV? something i’m thinking about doing soon, but i suppose time will tell
I doubt it will. Left foot finesse on the clutch pedal, and I'm sure it'll be fine.

Curious if anyone currently has a track membership? Or maybe looked into one or had one previously? Interested in your thoughts. I don't think I'd ever pull the trigger just wondering. Do you think you got your money's worth? How close did you live to the track?

I looked into it to realize I can't afford it. Tracks memberships around here are crazy expensive, we talking 20 thousand starting fees and then 6k monthly and some are even more (80k to start lol).

However I have seen some places (no where close to me) that are like 2k/3k a year and you can go every weekend and I would definitely consider that

Holy shit ? my "local" track was 10k membership fee and 300 a month for 3 years.

Everytime I think of moving out of the corn fields I'm reminded why living here is fine ?

still not cheap but much more resonable. I guess really depends on how much one goes. I know people that do over 20 track days a season, so maybe be worth it, I don't think I would have time for so many days , maybe half of that. I also like to go to different places, I have like 5 tracks within 3 hours of me and like to change it up a bit

Lucky enough in central Florida there is a place called FIRM. Membership is $2500. and it is just a little over 2 hour driving for me to get there.

Isn't this where GRM does their testing?

That sounds like a reasonable price. I would do that if the track was well maintained and interesting.

I would pay that. Especially considering Florida = year round. Except for maybe peak summer ?
