that would be a great target weight for sure.
Finally put her on the track. I put on the new front sway bar end-links today and put the street tires / wheels on today (still get the
TRACTION SYSTEM ACTIVATED message that limits speed to 50 but I just turn off the traction control; I initially thought only my race tires were the cause of that due to tire heights not being stock). 265 front and 295 rear goodyear supercar F1's.
No idea how old the tires are because I bought them used last month.
It rained all day so track is wet. I ran a 1.39 on the north course taking it easy. Fast lap is 1.30 by a pair of caymen S race cars (3.8 liter 911 motor swap, $125k)) produced by farnbacher lowes on 285 slicks. I bet with my race tires and a dry track and a concerted effort, I can get close to that. The car felt very good, stable and predictable, but made a strange noise from what sounded like right under the shifter. At WOT, above 3k RPM's, I hear a sound like a ball bearing being shaken inside a tin can from the driveshaft tunnel. I thought I had loose parts in my center console but nothing was there.
Very weird. its a hollow, tinny sound that isn't constant. Lasts for a second, then I upshift, still at WOT and it happens again in next gear, but again, only for a second.
Is my torque tube gonna explode and injure me?
The brakes (stock calipers with stainless piston inserts and lines, ducts) felt great but pad life is low, so new PFC pads are ordered. Will get new rotors and a fresh bleed of the system and I'll be all set.
