Well guys another track day in the books!
Willow springs big willow. Consistently ran a bunch of 1:34s. Seems to be my PB. That track is just really hammered and bumpy. It needs a repave really bad! I've had a hard time breaking 34s. I'm happy with it though. Respectable time on a track that just takes straight up big balls. I'm not willing to crash my car just to chase times. The AP brakes ran SWEET all day! Loving the ds 1.11 pads! Great feel, great bite and modulation and no squeaking which I really love! I'll be at streets of willow on the 5th! Hoping to have my 235 wing on by then! |

Small update! Cars been running great! For anyone on the fence about ECUTEK with bend calibration….just send it. It's the best period. I asked Joseph to reach out to ecutek about getting rev match enabled in DSC off mode. They made it happen! I now have rev match in every mode! I know some of you hate rev match. Personally I love it. The car matches the rpm perfectly every time! I have size 13 feet and have struggled my ass off to learn to heel toe. Also running the car on track in sport+ was starting to get annoying in certain corners where I'd just like to put all the power down coming out but traction would kick in and cut power. Very thankful for bend calibrations amazing service and ecuteks tried and true platform! I have zero affiliation with either and paid full price!
I have 2 more track dates and then will be taking the summer off. In socal we track in the winter. Summer is too hot. Over the summer I plan to redo some of the paint protection film on the car. I also plan to make a v2 version of my front splitter! I think if I can do it right it will be bad ass! And super rigid. Well see! I also have a KMP/team schirmer (kmp makes it for them) diff bracket and bushings. This will be a huge project that will take time. While the subframe is out I plan to add more SPL arms. So the car will be on full SPL arms! I also plan to take the rest of the wiper fluid tank and crap out to save weight. I never use it and took the windshield wipers off the car to save weight. I also need to pull the cage out and I want to remove the rest of the factory seat belt parts. I always buckle in with the harnesses. We'll see what else I can find to remove from the car to save weight. So that's the plan for now guys! Stay posted! |

Also swapped for 240 end plates. Just the plastic ones. I didn't feel carbon ones were worth the money. I drilled an extra hole in the front to allow the plate to sit level with the wing in the middle adjustment hole.
I also added an AJ Hartman gurney flap. I know the wing is doing something because on buttonwillow a few weeks ago the car felt very planted! Definitely feeling the best it has in a long time! It absolutely rips. Quite insane lol |

I don't drive in the rain. I don't enjoy driving in the rain. Different strokes for different folks man.

Wow. I wish there was a slow clap emoji I could insert. What a great build. Can’t wait to see what else you have up your sleeve!

Little update. I've been sitting on a do88 oil cooler for a while now. The car needed an oil change so I figured it was the perfect opportunity to install the oil cooler.
Install was easy, you do not need to take the bumper off. You can work from inside the wheel well. I can see why they want you to take the bumper off but you don't need too. Use your head, you can figure it out. The oil cooler is massive! I have a strong feeling this bad boy is going to cool on track way better than the CSF I had. I also put some foam around the bumper plastic that the do88 shroud goes to. Wanted to try and really direct air at the cooler. |

Also keep us posted about the cooling results. I hope it's better than the csf, d088 also seems to be better quality than the csf stuff imo.

I held my little shop fan that blows a fairly concentrated straight line of air into the oil cooler vent and held my other hand on the backside where it vents into the wheel well. My oil cooler side with my foam tape definitely had more are coming out into the wheel well than my do88 aux radiator on the other side. So my foam tape ghetto seal up job is doing a good job of channeling air straight through the cooler. The highest temps I saw with the CSF oil cooler were 230 oil. I'm confident the do88 will preform better. The CSF is good for street but I wanted more head room for the track. The quality of the do88 was decent. I had to chase all the threads on the cooler with a tap. The aux radiator was perfect however. So I hope their quality doesn't decline. I'd really like to find a way to ditch the heat exchanger. I think it's pointless. I also don't like oil and coolant being that close to eachother if they don't need to be. I just want lines straight from the thermostat to the oil cooler. I bet that would be worth a few degrees of cooling. |

To do list before next track season.
Install KMP diff brace and solid mounts. Going to be a crapload of work but I'm too cheap to pay someone to do it. Possibly add more SPL arms. Develop version 2 of my front splitter blade cause no one makes a chassis mounted kit for the m2. Rolls eyes. Remove the washer fluid tank. Take the seats and cage out to remove the front stock seatbelts. Assess if there's any other BS I can remove from the car to shed a few pounds without making it ugly. |

Very interesting and smart idea on the foam seal, I will have to steal that from you You can ditch the heat exchanger, I believe you can easily disconnect the coolant lines and bypass it by either removing the two fittings from the hoses that go into the heat exchanger and use a piece of tubing to connect the two ends back together (leave the oil flowing through the heat exchanger it should be fine like that). Or create custom hoses from the aux water pump back to the radiator and bottom frame rail hoses using the existing connectors you will have removed from the stock line. I believe tyspeed did it this way.

I'll have the bumper off again soon and I'll look more closely at the heat exchanger. When it comes to oil and coolant idk that I'd be comfortable splicing lines together. Maybe I can have my local hose guy make me a custom line. With oil pressure going to 70psi that's enough to blow a ghetto line apart easy |

No with the heat exchanger you'd only splice the coolant lines which aren't under major pressure - hence why the thermostat hoses, water pump hoses etc are held on by worm gear clamps. Don't ghetto splice oil hoses, you'd leave that connected to the heat exchanger. Just remove the coolant side of things. If you want to remove the oil hoses and heat exchanger entirely, you'd have to convert to an fittings to run custom rubber hoses, and have an air conditioner shop crimp hose fittings on to the rubber style hoses so you can use the factory style oil cooler connectors. I've seen this done before on a bmw oil cooler setup.

I'd need to take a look at things and see what I can do. I think I've seen oil filter housing AN line adapters. Then it would just be a matter of getting the AN lines to hook up to the factory connections at the oil cooler. |
