NASA AZ @ AMP CW PB
1:52.323 per official results. Overall I was really happy with how the car performed this weekend. GK's Garage helped me out a ton with some long overdue maintenance items. Oil gallery gaskets, timing chain guides and tensioners, wheel bearings, and brake caliper rebuilds to name a few. One of the chain guides failed the second track day but it didn't result in any damage or issues. No fault of GK's Garage but they took the car back on Monday and had back to me by Wednesday.
They also installed the Chase Bays Dual Piston Brake Booster Delete for me. I was having a lot of braking issues over the past year with ABS either fighting me to hell and back, or it just going out and needing a dramatic bias adjustment. This kit deleted the ABS unit and the inconsistencies with braking with a regular brake booster. You have to press a lot harder, but I'm getting used to it. Next event I'll have more confidence in braking later and harder.
I also finally got my LSD assembled. OEM carrier, Tomei 1.5-way LSD, Z1 4.09 Final Drive ratio, and Z1 expanded capacity backplate. Between that and the 9 lives racing wing I have to install, this thing will be cookin' pretty soon. I desperately need an alignment, too. I got a ~3 degree camber front and ~2 degree camber rear alignment about 1.5 years ago. I think I can handle an extra degree F&R with these new Maxxis RC1 tires.
