haha. well that is a concern then. Price wise akra will be costly but they fit OEM system well from my understanding.
A shop here locally that does exhaust repair quoted me 225 for an X pipe and 1.5 hrs to install. That is not a whole mid pipe but my thought was do secondary's and res to see if I like that or not.

Wheels
Pushed button on track wheels today. Ignore center bore spec
https://www.apexraceparts.com/shop-b...pra-wheel.html Nothing special to look at but they are 20.2 pounds, a far cry from the 38.1 pound stock wheel. Gave up on the super lights at 18-19 pounds. They keep pushing production back, which is the world we live in now. I’ll try running the Conti Rs on the track. |

If you can; measure from the ground to the bottom side of your lip. iND will match this reflectors nice for you. Easy to remove and install too. -Although, here I failed the safety check, (required every year during registration renewal) because I didn't have them. Had to go back home (Luckily I saved the old ones) and 3M tape them to the car for it to pass the inspection. Of course I removed them right in the parking lot but be aware of the bullshit factor... |

Cant wait to see how the Conti's hold up. Im running Michelin Cup 2's as my every day tire here, because I can and they do grip quite well. Are the Conti R street legal too? |

Unsafe Trackday. Couple clips
Thread title says it all…these are my ramblings
25 years motorcycle club racing and accredited racing license, 12 years accredited auto race license, tracked every track on the West Coast of NA only as far south as Leguna Seca, which is still North for many of you guys. When it comes to racing, I’m a complete nobody, but in my travels, never experienced this unsafe track experience anywhere else. The clip is only lap 1 and 2 after being let loose. Wonder what else was going on elsewhere.
Im venting and will erase later…thanks for listening. The clip isn’t so bad, but these incidents should be rare. https://youtu.be/unQR4l90UDw Last edited by Dr Thrillride; 08-28-2022 at 03:58 PM.. |

More ramblings
Skip to 3:30 to hear M8 roar a bit after ditching pesky, but fast Ford Fiesta (seriously sleeper car).
https://youtu.be/6FdubGnLzZo This is secondary cat delete, Eventuri intake with MSport exhaust? I didn’t order MPerformance exhaust. Still a bit hesitant on the track on only 7th lap. Experienced track guys will see where there’s lots of room to improve as I’m off the race line in a lot of places and not on the pedal quick enough. Catalyst ran out of space after this vid but quit with the lollygaggin’ around a session later and got a good sense for the KW V4s pushing pretty hard. Conclusion - car is friggin heavy so need to chill a bit, but KWs need to be adjusted for rebound and car could be lower. This track day saw right front PS4 rolling on edge likely on first and last turns and elevation-change turn where GTS had an ‘oh shit’ moment in other video.

No heat soak thus far
The Wagner Tuning intercoolers installed and no heat soak whatsoever yesterday at the track, albeit was only 23 centigrade. Turbos were very responsive.
Ben at RGSports can get these for you. Check out the specs on these units that are published by WT. No, they don’t come in different colours, but it’s probably possible. |

I'm with ya on the build costs (I'm currently over $200K) and know full well my risks, but don't need/want any others contributing to it. Fun watching your vids though. Cant wait to get mine to the track on September 11th. |

Dynojet numbers
First run: two mods that should make little difference. Eventuri intake and secondary cat delete. Also, Wagner Tuning Intercooler upgrade.
Only 20 minutes later: Plugged in Carbhan stage 1 controller |
