A Miata with a turbo v6……. He was at 55 and change. My fastest clean was 59.4 somethingSo who had the fastest time?
Good temp dataSo I bought a Longacre tire pyrometer, and tried to get my Hoosier slicks up to a normal 170F temp. Gave up after 5 laps.

If you hadn’t trimmed the bolts that would have been good?My kick guards arrived, I needed to drill one hole bigger, and notch the electrical hole.
Then I discovered that mirror bolts aren't long enough, as I had trimmed them when installing the mirrors.
Guess mirror set #4 will be the ones to get kick guards with aero wings.

True. I think the stock length would have worked well.If you hadn’t trimmed the bolts that would have been good?
The studs might be removable, they were on my second set of cheap china mirrors.My kick guards arrived, I needed to drill one hole bigger, and notch the electrical hole.

So I had a pretty bad wheel hop episode the other day when I panic braked. I have been kind of testing the brakes since to see if I can recreate that. I think it happens when I jab the brake super hard. It’s almost like I have to gradually load the front before I mash the pedal in order to not get a slight wheel hop. I’m trying to solve the issue now. I wonder if it has something to do with me being over sprung on the front with 500’s. I have a manual brake setup so not sure if that has anything to do with it. Brand new hubs and brakes. I also wonder if it has to do with having some drastic offset on my wheels. Justin Reed has the same wheel setup but with 5.5 in backspace rather than 4.5 in. Not sure if he had any of those issues. Probably going to start by switching to 300’s on the front and reduce negative camber. Wheels would be my next guess.I think it was a multiple issues that all came together to create a hopping mad max goblin.
I bought the softest frame DF makes (city, extended, easy entry) and then put big wheel spacers and tires on it.
Took an old donor with worn out wheel bearings, worn out shocks, put those parts on, then went to the autocross races, and drove it aggressively.
So a bunch of decisions created the braking issue on the autocross course.
Not so much the back wheels, but they can cause tram lining where the back end can follow the imperfections in the road more like a city tram would do (hence the name)Would this apply in any way to the back wheels?
