No harm in checking. Just keep in mind, I totally removed my dust shields and run without them so a car with the shields in place would not likely experience this issue!
Speaking of brakes, do you use a speed bleeder at all when you do your fluid? Got a good one you can recommend me?I'm hard on brakes...definitely a candidate for that @ayoustin upgrade
Congrats on the podium dude! what a great thread and amazing build. cheers.Showed up early again to a damp Saturday morning.
Managed to clip .3 off my Friday time and set a PB...I wanted the 1:29s bad though.
The family showed up and so did @Jason@DASHautosports (pretty sure he was just making sure I was fast enough and that he didn't need to take the DASH decals off my car ? ) Huge thanks to him for getting the car sorted and making sure I had the right go-fast parts!
I pushed hard the next 2 sessions and found the sand at the end of turn one twice...that downhill braking zone is a beast! I also clipped the inside of some curbing hard enough to gouge a wheel...I was thankful for the Forged Titan7s!
Saw another CTR out of the corner of my eye mid-day on the track. Came in and checked the results, Patrick Daugherty, Valvoline sponsored semi-pro driver had shown up and was running in Street class! Super nice guy but definitely a threat! He had driven down from KY that morning in a bone stock CTR with old Hankook tires and some upgraded brake pads...only 1.5 seconds slower...that guy can drive!
Going into the last session everyone was slower...except Grant Davidson, Acuity Racing Sponsored, managed a crazy flier to capture the fastest FWD lap of the weekend edging me out by .2! He runs Club TR class which allows engine swaps and aero mods and is full of cool Honda/Acura.
I managed to hold on in Street for second, getting beat by a crazy sorted and multi season contender in an AWD Impreza WRX. Managed 8th overall out of 58 drivers. Not too bad for my first ever TT race.
Yeah, me an Tomo have a strong cut-off game
Took the long way home by the car wash and got the first layer of dirt off!
Then I spent Sunday with the car jacked up outside, wheels off, pressure washing the undercarriageNote to self: CTR does not make a good off-roader!
Lots of work to do to get ready for GTA @ Rd Atlanta in May. But for now the car and I are taking a break from each other for a few days
Thanks so much!
I use this...works awesome and allows for one person brake bleeding! About $100 and worth every penny.
Me too dude, I think it could be a potential game changer!Saw your name on the list, stoked you got in! My kit arrives today (sans brake lines)
