Re: {DFW} MSR - why no corvette clubs? (Umrswimr)

I just went to TWS with the Supra meet. There were at least 8 vettes there and most of them were instructors.

I never see any events at TWS for corvettes.

Some people say it is lack of...

Re: Any news on LGM's Spindle ducts? (John Shiels)

The whole thing is a flat round plate and on one edge an oval duct is welded to the shield. I'll see if I can get a picture.

The duct is a single piece. It was too tight to get the tubing around.

Re: Any news on LGM's Spindle ducts? (LG Motorsports)

There is one other minor issue. I thought the inlet hole was supposed to be 3" OD. But my 3" SCAT tubing would not fit over it at all. I had to snip the edges and bend the end to get the tubing...

{DFW} MSR - why no corvette clubs?

Porsche, BMW, Viper all have events at MSR. There are never any corvette events and these guys always fill up their run groups.

Anyone know any other local groups that go to MSR? :(

Re: Gearing change with smaller height tires... (SWCDuke)

The smaller diamater tire will give you faster acceleration and change your gear ratio. however z06s can do that to.

Thanks Bill, so it can make it not work but it won't make it kick in because that is controlled by the speed sensor / computer.

Re: ABS (CPT Z06)

To answer CPT Z06 question. The reason I took out the spring vs. changing back to stock pads is three fold.

Taking out the spring took me 3 minutes and changing the pads would take longer

That's a spacer. I only need about a 1/8" spacer under my front CCWs to clear.

Re: ABS (CPT Z06)

Well neither. it is a combination of too much rear pad and the DRM bias spring. Pulled the DRM spring and it is behaving much better. No ABS on a 75 to 10MPH hard stop.

Re: John Sheils - LG Spindle Ducts - Speed Sensor (John Shiels)

I don't have DRM ducts. I made some custom ducts because I am using 17x11 CCWs up front.

I bought like 10x5 front scoops, trimmed them a bit, removed the stock ducts, pop riveted Home Depot...

What did you do with your speed sensor connection . You obviously can'tput back on the little holder plate.
