  1. SCCA Street Touring/TT Tuner Sharing Thread

    Glad to hear this thread is helpful already! The lower ball joint is allowed as a modification/replacement of the lower arm. Yeah, turbo inlet tube is allowed as you can change intake pieces that connect to the turbo inlet point. Current BST class leaders are the Subaru STI and Mitsubishi Evo...

  2. SCCA Street Touring/TT Tuner Sharing Thread

    Hey All, I'm building my CTR for SCCA (Autocross) Street Touring (BST) and couldn't find any similar threads around, so here is a post about the class to start things off. For track guys who are interested in SCCA Time Trials, SCCA Street Touring "cars listed as eligible in and prepared to the...

  3. SCCA Autocross Stock Class

    I don't see any tools to compare distance driven in LogR, so for autox I wouldn't really see it as being useful to help you go figure out how to go "faster".

  4. SCCA Autocross Stock Class

    For data, solostorm is the gold standard. Even if you arent good at reading the actual data itself, being able to see video inbetween runs is very valuable.

  5. Current best intercooler for track use?

    No. The larger IC means it has more mass which means it can absorb more energy before becoming ineffective at exchanging heat (heat soak). The temperature at peak heat soak is not related to mass. The design/material/etc of the IC will effect how well it exchanges that heat with a given air...

  6. Current best intercooler for track use?

    You mean the "stock" IC that is V-mounted? I don't think that's a good comparison.

  7. Jacking method for tire rotations at the track

    When I plan to do full cross rotations at the track I use these Megan Racing ramps I got off Amazon. A pair of ramps break down to 4pcs. for easy storage. https://a.co/d/0zC0NCO

  8. Jacking method for tire rotations at the track

    If just doing front to back, you can use the front side jack point and the whole side of the car will raise enough to swap a side of tires front/back. If doing L/R rotation, you would need ramps or the 2-jack method to put the car on 4 jack stands.

  9. SCCA Autocross Stock Class

    For those are want to push the limits Rays Wheels now has their ultra lightweight forged CE28N-plus in B-Street legal 18x9.5 +53 size o_O I wonder how much the Bronze anodized version weighs! https://www.rayswheels.co.jp/en/products/brand/detail/215

  10. Removing Left Rear Camber Arm '24 FL5

    Did you try shifting the subframe? If you loosen the subframe bolts to the chassis (factory rear subframe alignment procedure), you can actually get a pretty big amount of adjustment left/right, forward/back - maybe like 1/4" or less of movement IIRC. (I noticed this when I aligned my subframe...

  11. Extended Wheel Studs

    FYI for anyone doing extended studs on the fronts, you do not need to cut the heat shield. Just PB blast the 3 screws holding the shield and maybe use an impact screwdriver and they come off easy. You can then rotate the heat shield to make clearance to install whatever extended stud. Overall...

  12. *The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*

    Interesting, but not sure if it would be compatible with any upgraded intercoolers unless there is some adjustability in the mounts. It seems to sit right behind the stock radiator and most upgraded radiators are thicker and protrude rearward more with their extra thickness.

  13. *The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*

    Unless they did some tricky editing, looks like the PWR installed without modification. Nice catch! Thank you!

  14. *The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*

    Does anyone have any experience installing the PWR intercooler? Their online description suggest that it is a true drop in install. Can anyone verify this? Class racing rules state I cannot modify any of the body panels, fascias, or structural members to install, so I am looking for solutions.

  15. *The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*

    Any rough specs on it? Size vs OEM, etc?? It would be nice to see a quality tube & fin option that doesnt gobble up the entire air path to the radiator (wagner) :rolleyes:

  16. FL5 Overheated on Track

    Awesome results!!!

  17. AiM Solo2 DL not picking up ECU channels

    Looks like SoloStorm will be releasing features to capture CAN bus data streams. Might be a good tool for future development...

  18. FL5 Overheated on Track

    I heard the FL5's water pump is upgraded version of the FK8, but is it strong enough to handle a multi-pass radiator? If not, are there any aftermarket water pump upgrades out there?

  19. SCCA Autocross Stock Class

    295s fit without any rubbing with +53 offset wheels. Not sure about other offsets.

  20. SCCA Autocross Stock Class

    I tried 295s on front with the RE71RS. They worked good for heat management and for sweeper courses, but felt sloppy for actual slalom intense courses. Very difficult to mount! You get blacklisted by your tire shop :p I currently run 275s in front and I am pretty satisfied.
