    What heats up first, oil or water temps?

    I believe the job of the thermostat is to get the oil and combustion chamber up to the optimal operating temperature as fast as possible [ for fuel efficiency and lubrication protection] , then to maintain that temp by opening, to allow the the rest of the system [coolant & radiator & fans] to...

    Thinking about tracking - have some questions

    huge advise from stuntman -- start at 30psi on front and back. Then check as soon as you can when session is over and aim for the same pressure all the way around. As the day progresses, you may have to continue bleeding air. If you have any type of a drive home, add air at track just before...

    Thinking about tracking - have some questions

    If you like it and want to do it again, its going to be like losing your virginity. Right now you have high standards. Slowly, you'll lower them for more [t]rack time. It was worth it for me. If OEM, your pads should have at least 50% left and the car should be checked out so that you fully...

    Coolant tank blew its top off

    I've been through 2 OEM tanks, and mine is a 2002, so I went aftermarket with The Package Group through Prime. So far so good. I did add more protection to the "see-through" tube [to check coolant]. I felt it was vulnerable to being ripped out, just by wrenching in the vicinity. I cut a length...

    Heel and toe technique

    I have big feet and slightly bowed legs, which may explain things [ see wear mark on clutch pedal ]. On the plus side it leaves me room in the shorts.

    Heel and toe technique

    I started practicing a year or two ago -It was hard to lean after 3o plus years of not doing it. Now it is natural for every shift on track though I need to get more consistent with the size of the blip on the throttle. I probably did 250-300 clover leafs [[exit ramps] too. Instructors taught...

    Steering wheel vibration

    1) Do you see your hands vibrating? or just feel it? 2) Does it also happen on a super smooth [ newly paved ] road? I would think you would see rotor wobbling [ at the pads] if hub were bent - How about when applying the brakes? Vibration the same, worse, better? Same question when in a...

    The Sleep number bed solved all my back problems; it is like having a new bed every night - It must be 12 years old now. I thought I would require a high number for firmness - turns out my number is between 40 and 50.

    Thinking dangerous thoughts; VIN jh4na115xmt000805

    As a fellow Hairbrained person; here is a question I've always wondered. I would think with our "frame"/ Tub that there is a lower limit in damage that can be fixed and an upper limit that can't. Is the issue that if the tub is so damaged that no amount of tweaking, pulling straightening will...
