    Diminished Value Claim

    I tried a DV claim once, I felt I had a very good case with lots of supporting documentation. In the end I would have had to take the other insurance company to court and it became more trouble than it was worth.

    Spring Mountain Impressions

    Here was my 1:21.6 lap, I only got two laps behind the instructor, this was the first of two, second to the last lap of the day. Hit 121 into T1 with the 4BW.

    Spring Mountain Impressions

    Yes, I paid the $250 for the extra piece of mind. Less to worry about when on the track and able to focus more on getting some proper fast laps. Only managed 1:21.6 on my last session (instructor lap was 1:20.x). I was dropping seconds off each session as I built confidence in the car, tires...

    Spring Mountain Impressions

    ^ Word. OMG I was amazed what this car could do on a track. Had a frigging blast and was literally laughing on my final laps. We where at the lap times of our instructor demo laps and it felt great.

    Catch can install?

    Black smoke would be rich fuel or some carbon in the exhaust, white smoke would be oil.

    Spring Mountain Impressions

    The AM temp is going to be quite cold on Wed, calling for 25 now. I suspect it will warm up quick and should be in the 40's by the time we are in the cars for the first time. Last time I did a track day Spring Mt on one of my race bikes, cold Michelin slick was hard as a rock that lead to a T2...

    Anyone get their Blackwing badge yet? And are you putting it on?

    Drove to work this morning and I swear the BW badge added 30 HP, at least I drove it like it did.

    Any ideas for small modifications?

    If you really mean that, you would never wear cloths or cut your hair. None of us want that.

    Rock Hit, Undercarriage Damage, What Would you Do?

    So the rock slid off the mountain direclty into your way and there simply was no warning or way to avoid it. Sounds comprehensive to me.

    Rock Hit, Undercarriage Damage, What Would you Do?

    Ive hit several animals that did signifcant damage, a deer at 60 MPH dead center, and a raccoon (I think) at 110. Both times it was a no fault claim with my insurance. The deer I could understand, but it was amazing how much damage the racoon did. Both times in previous vehicles.

    Jb4 Cabin Cable install Questions

    Got the OBD2 data link to the JB4 run through the firewall shown above, took my considerably longer than his 10min however. There was plenty of wire to run to where I have the JB4 mounted in front of the airbox. Even to do so by running the wire along the existing wire harnesses and tying it...

    Jb4 Cabin Cable install Questions

    Going to add this here as another possible location to mount the JB4 out of the way. Found the cables are long enough, if routed just right, to allow the JB4 to be mounted under the plastic valance panel in front of the airbox, its a perfect fit and is completely out of the way, unseen, unless...

    CT4V dragy 60-130 times

    Stock other than Green air filters. Stock down pipes, 3/4 tank of 91 oct pump. This is my baseline for stock to compare against. Will test on the same road with similar conditions with the JB4 and T-Body later. Not bad for high desert (of north Mexico).

    4BW - How many miles?

    @Akamai58, I had seen the Service Instrument Cluster message a few times, but never saw a fault. I have the HUD, next time I see that Ill have to check the HUD, some times when I wear my polarized Ray-Ban's they filter out the HUD, so I may not notice it. 6K on mine this week too, 3K/month.

    4VBW Oil Consumption

    Its hard to see 1/4 qt change. You would have to check it with the car in the exact same spot (same level), same temp, same amount of time since the last run. The engin can be fully expected to burn a bit extra oil for the first break in miles. As long as your not a full qt low, don't worry...
