Thank you! What is poke?

Poke is like what i run, where the wheels/tire "poke" out from the fenders edge slightly. More agressive.

Ah ok, not familiar with the term but I see what you mean. I go for flush or less, do not want to rub when driving aggressively.

Finally installed the wunderladen rear caliper slide pin bushings after having them for a couple months. Easy install and peace of mind knowing the calipers will not deflect under hard braking. A great product from a company that thinks about the things that really matter when on the track.

What tires you running? I already asked rims but not sure tires. I'm peeling out in 1st and 2nd not even trying too hard (not much but want instant contact). I need better tires and rear motor mount but waiting on PRL.

I have Bridgestone potenza S04. They have a 280 tread wear so decently sticky held up go on the track. But still break loose now with the new turbo.

Did you replace rear motor mount? Sorry there's like 24 pages.

Discount tires says discontinued

Brakes version 3.1.0.

I ordered wilwood BP-20 brake pads for the front wilwood 6-piston calipers. The kit came with BP-10 which are very underwhelming and it taking advantage of the stopping power available, both pads have the same low temp friction coefficient but the BP-20 just get better as the temps climb were as the BP-10 get worse.

For the rear I order new EBC v-slot quiet rotor and hawk hps 5.0 pads to replace the ebc slotted/dimpled rotors and green stuff pads. The hawk hps pads have a very streatable temp coefficient and hopefully lower dust than the ebc pads.

I also have hawk DTC -30 pads that I was going to use for my next track event but after doing research I think there are better options out there that offer a more stable coefficient. The last chart attached is hawks race compounds the DTC-30s seem to decline as temps rise...

In addition to the rear caliper slide pin bushing upgrade, the full stainless lines and the motul rbf600 fluid and of course the wilwood 6-piston BBK this should be a great all around setup and keep me happy for a long time.

Side note : there are probably 40 different brake pads from at least 7 different manufacturers available that fit the wilwood calipers. Hawk, ebc, wilwood, carbotech, pagid, raybestos and at least a couple more manufacturers, and they all offer different compounds for street/track or full race. Great to know I have enough option to make my head spin.

In the chart attached you can see the different compounds wilwood offers and the temp coefficients they offer, BP-10 in red BP-20 in orange.

To wrap up my cooling mod list I wrapped my downpipe with DEI titanium wrap, gold tape on the inlet pipe (which I'm not sure I like, but function over form) and applied a layer of gold tape to my oil pan above frontpipe. Planned to wrap front pipe but I could not get the v-band clamp off and did not want to break it.

How many feet of wrap did you use for the DP?

Side Interjection;
I did mine with 15 feet of wrap. Pretty tight too!

I bought a 25 foot roll and have a lot left over, I think enough to do my front pipe.

I figured the FP is longer than the DP. I was thinking of getting the 50' roll.

Also, @Sport-injected: that gold tape's adhesive is rated to 365F. Any issues with it on the oil pan? I like the idea of shielding that tunnel.

I feel I used less than half of the roll on the DP but I'll find out.

No issues with the gold tape, I brake cleaned theoil pan first, then cut the strips of tape the sizes I wanted for good coverage and applied.
