Need to replace the clutch on my 2G, and would love some 2020 recommendations since it seems like most of the info is from the last decade...ROFL Putting down around 300 whp/wtq on RRE's Dynapack and used for time attack/road course plus the drive to/back from the tracks.Have heard that the...

@338vr4 thanks man! Definitely getting there, need to redo the spring rates (for road racing you do not want the front to have almost double the rates of the rear), some aero, and it'll be a beast! Should give the Evos a run for their money :)

Track: Auto Club Speedway Infield, Fontana, CA Lap: 1:20 via transponder Date: Sep 20, 2015 Car: 1997 Eagle Talon TSi AWD Mods: Evo III B16g @ 22 psi, DSMLink v3, DG spec Konicoilovers w/Swift Springs, 255/35/17 Achilles A123S (awesome tire)

Just did a full day at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana in 110F weather...I'm DEFINITELY keeping the HVAC haha. Car ran great (keeping it 2 hot laps in a row or less), finally have some 255 tires!Compression is now 115 tho...at least it's consistent across the board LOL?Click & follow for more...

Did anyone end up running these? Looking into them myself

oop forgot to mention has to keep A/C & heater too. tho I don't mind that much given it's SoCal lol

Unfortunately in my TA class I need to run full interior, OEM glass, A/C, heater, and body-wise can only change the hood/trunk to non-OEM. Any other big ones? :)

@tsiboosted bummer haha. Any tips on what were the biggest bang for buck in weight reduction? :)

@tsiboosted not at all! You provided some great data. I'm assuming you're not running full interior? Do you have a post/thread that details all your weight reduction? I sure wouldn't mind lightening the car up :)

@T2Small amazing data, that's exactly what I'm looking for! :) Half mile oval with 90-10 entry is RIDICULOUSLY hard on brakes haha. Most of the SoCal tracks are about 1.5-2.5 miles with at least a front straight. I'd suggest also trying the Project Mu G-four brake fluid, it's got some of the...

@2gmitsueclipse that's great to hear, which Carbotechs are you running? How much would you say is left? Outlander upgrade is just the OEM bracket and bigger rotors right? Is there a noticeable change in brake bias?I'm running the Achilles A123S, they're <1 sec off from RS3's but MUCH...

Track: the famed Buttonwillow CW13 in CA Lap: 2:12 via transponder & NO brakes LOL Date: Mar 1, 2015 Car: 1997 Eagle Talon TSi AWD Mods: Evo III B16g @ 22 psi, DG spec Koni coilovers w/Swift Springs, Achilles A123S (awesome tire), NO Stoptech Street pads left

Thanks for the detailed input @2gmitsueclipse! Funny you mention the ducting, I ran that on my Evo X. Ran the 3500 lb+ Evo X for a full season, and didn't have any issues with the Brembos btw.My overall question is whether I should try stock calipers + aggressive track pads, or just once &...

Thanks @99ECLIPSEGSXDSM! Currently running 17x7.5 Kosei K-1's but thinking about a 8.5 or 9" wheel.@2gmitsueclipseThe way @RedlineTimeAttack is setup is you have 2 TA sessions of 5 laps clean laps each, as cars are sent out by lap times. The rest of the day is setup like normal HPDE (~20...

Thanks Eddie and likewise! Now I'm figuring out my brake setup...will track pads be enough for time attack w/the 2g AWD calipers or should I go Evo Brembo's?

Completely killed my StopTech Street pads at Buttonwillow last weekend (to the back plate/very little stopping power on the street now lol...). Car's 3200 w/driver & gas.Do you guys think Porterfield R4S or Project Mu B-Force would be ok for time attack? Will any pads on stock 2g GSX calipers...

Thanks for all the continued great input guys! I upgraded to an Evo 9 oil filter housing and 8/9 oil cooler, and never saw temps above 210 this weekend at Buttonwillow, and that was only for a sec cuz I didn't even bother to turn the heat on :rocks: Ran a 2:12 with literally no brake pad left...

Very good points guys! It's from a friend locally who upgraded to a bigger cooler for track, so should be alright.Btw, with an Evo 8 oil filter housing (which only has the 2 3/8" BSP but not the extra 1/8" BSP port), I can still run an oil pressure sensor like the Autometer 2246 for DSMLink...

For even more budget, anyone use the Evo 8/9 OEM oil cooler as well? :) Tips/experiences?Thanks!

Thanks for the great input guys!snowborder714, how much lower than ideal temps are you seeing? I think some people install a thermostat?Also, bit of a newb question haha, what's all the stuff current in the driver's side? ABS module?

Thanks for all the great input guys! Here's my cooling plan:External oil cooler from stock water cooling: A. Any experiences with B&M, Setrab, or Earl's would be appreciated. B. Any downsides to using the Evo 8/9 OFH over the Evo 3? C. Any issues/tips for mounting it on the passenger's...

Hey guys!I'm setting my DSM up for time attack and had a successful shakedown this past Sun w/a 1:34 at Streets of Willow CW w/NO tune, alignment, and 10 yr old Falken 452s haha.Coolant hit 226+ in Link on a cool low 70s day tho. Running CX Racing radiator behind the FMIC w/stock fans &...

Oh yeah, that's what I meant haha! Still learning about the black magic of suspension :)

Brian, I was in the last GB! :pOh, I thought that only controlled rebound lol

Thanks for all the great input guys! Went with 616/336 lbs as the Swifts are metric (11/6kg), got the car together working all day Fri & Sat thanks to the awesome folks at KT Motoring, and put down a 1:34 at Streets of Willow CW with no tune, suspension, and crappy Falken 452 LOL!The DG spec...

Thanks for the great input as always Brian! Finally assembling those DG spec Konis haha. How do you like your current setup? Neutral handling?Btw would 60mm ID springs work? Technically they're 2.37" http://www.swiftsprings.com/products/universal/metric-coilover-springs.html

Anyone have times at any West Coast/SoCal tracks? Getting the car ready for Streets of Willow this weekend and would be good to have some benchmarks.

OP, or anyone else, what rates did you end up with for track?I'm setting mine up for ideally a balance of mild (enthusiast/entry level class) time attack and comfy daily driving. Thinking 616/280 as the Swifts I plan to use are metric. Is that too much front spring?

Hey all,Trying to find a sunshade for the front window that actually covers the entire window. Any I can get from a local parts store (O'Reilly/Kragen, Pep Boys, AutoZone)? If not, I found these on ebay, anyone have experience with them?100% CUSTOM Fit Sunshade - Custom Cut For YOUR...

For those with the Wedge Engineering brackets, did they center the seats correctly? As in, do you line up with the center of the steering wheel or are you slightly towards the door?Thanks!

Thanks 96! Just the kind of info I'm looking for :)Reason I ask is I plan to do canyon runs and maybe the occasional track day, so the last thing I want to worry about is my brakes :)

Hey guys,Changing the pads and noticed the shims and caliper bolt/pins look a bit shot. Planning to replace them and am wondering if there's any difference between Pep Boys ones or BrakeBest, Wagner, and Beck/Arnley ones?Thanks! Luke

hey guys!haven't posted in too long. ran into the Carbon Creations guys at SEMA and asked about what happened to this gorgeous carbon fiber hood. if you haven't seen it...long story short, I've been exchanging e-mails with them.the bad news: the mold has been destroyed...

Got it as a Christmas present but would rather spend the money on power upgrades :) Gorgeous piece and only ~20 lbs! Stock hood is 50+$525SEIBON :: Hoods :: HD9599MITEC-EVO

Preferably one that is 2.5" on the O2 side and can work with a cat, but OPEN TO ALL! :)Thanks!

Thanks kchaazz, looks like high impedance hi-z is the way to go for stock driveability...so pricey though hahaHas anyone used RCI R.C.I. injectors? Looks like the same EV14 injectors that are the FIC hi-z's but much cheaper, and the owner claims to be the former owner of FIC before selling it...

Nah, I finally made the switch to Link when I switched to 1450s :) Trying to keep cost low and just swap out injectors, let me know how that driver works!Zac...you're running those on E85 right? Not pump

Hey team,Seen some threads but trying to get a definitive answer on this: what are the biggest injectors with no part throttle/idle issues on pump gas (esp. CA 91 POS).I'm trying to find injectors that can max out the Evo III 16g on E85 w/all supporting mods that have no issues at part...

Thanks for all the great input guys!My mistake here, read about tubular manifolds cracking and assumed that O2 housings would have the same issue. Also read something about some bad welds?Of these three, which offers the best performance (flow? or is backpressure a better measurement here)?

Thanks for the input guys! I did a lot of searching before I posted this, but just didn't see too many long-term opinions on the tubular O2 housings and heard that sometimes they'll crack. Understand that I'll need a reflanged downpipe for the Evo III (which I have with a flex section that...
