We'll post a pic when your car is finished!

 

We were too busy talking about cars, track, Hawaii and various other places around the world, and eating to think about pictures....

Hey, Slinger - great to see you and the lovely lady. Hope we can do it again in the near future...

Hmmmm - there are some track days scheduled for WGI in June. How about a MINI reunion

 

Man, your killing me!

 

Just miss have you at the track...

 

Depending on scheduling, I could be talked into heading to WGI next June if it was part of a track reunion...

 

I am sorry I could nor make the meeting, but traffic here was messed up due to the weather. Wish I could of met everyone. A track date in June at WGI would be great, I'll be in for that.

Skiing in VT at Mount Snow?

 

Great seeing you guys at APS. Hope to have a get together, perhaps at the track this time.

 

Hmmm, it may be a little early to set any firm plans for the track in June, but there are some back to back dates that might be interesting...

No plans for Mt Snow yet, but will be at Stowe the first weekend in Dec...

There's a hint for that June track day at WGI if I ever heard one...

 

Would be a lot of fun with a reunion at wgi. I heard it loud and clear. Anything is possible. Would like to make it past the move before committing to anything.

 

Hey All

Happy Holidays

Hope all is well with everyone. Life seems to good around here.

Got some new brake dust shields to keep the salt spray that comes through the brake ducts off the brakes and the Wilwoods.

Now I need a set of plugs for those big openings.

 

Happy holidays to all you track addicts pals. Have a safe season next year.

 

Best wishes to all.....��

 

Eddie07S — Where did you say you bought your wilwood brakes?

Also, gentlemen, check out my winter project, a slot car track.

The track length is about 60 feet. Still a work in progress.

 

Never mind, Eddie07S. I found it in this thread. Todd@TCE. See you soon.

 

You got it.
Which setup are you thinking of getting?

Love the slot cars

 

The issue with me right now is that I have 17" summer/track wheels and a set of 16" wheels with winter tires that are in good shape. I have to decide if I want to invest in a new set of wheels and winter tires in addition to brakes. Even a cheap set of 17" wheels and winter tires will be $1k.

 

My 12.2 Wilwood fit my 16" wheels.

 

GKP - I have the set of 17" rims I originally bought to first go autox'ng with....then track, then basically nothing. Two of them have road rash from my little "off" I had on the way to NJMP in that biblical snowstorm we had in Oct '11. A little sanding and then Plasti Dip and they should be good for a winter set....

Right now a set of original Falken Zeni's are still mounted and they are in good shape, could use as a nice summer tire. I was literally just thinking of putting them on CL. Let me know if your interested....

 

So your setup is the 12.2 with the 4-piston caliper setup? That's what Todd recommended for me given the wheels I currently have. You found that to be a significant improvement over the OEM brakes?

 

Thanks SDriver. I will think about that and let you know within a few days. Another twist in my situation is that I also want to put bigger brakes on my RX7 this year. So many car parts to buy, so few dollars.

 

On a track like LRP where there is not much brake usage, you might not notice a huge difference. However, on a track like WGI that requires heavy brake usage the stock brakes get heat soaked and spongy. This is where these brakes shine. There is the added advantage that the pads are easy to change on the Wilwoods and brake pad wear is even, inside to outside. With the stock brakes the inside pad wears twice as fast as the outside and you windup throwing away a third of the brake pads. Wilwood also has a good selection of pads for these things.

 

S Driver - good to see you are still hanging around. Any news for this year?

 

No new news......still waiting and still doing the pit crew thing. Leave Monday for Sebring....

 

Will you be seeing FastTruck?

Hope all goes well with the race

 

Saw him just prior to Daytona.....stayed at his house. He's doing well..
