Stangra replied to the thread S550 Lightweight brake setup for 18" wheels (Aerospace)?.Any brakes should be able to exceed the tires' grip as evidenced by ABS activation... ...at least once! And no brake can generate more braking force than the tires grip.Being able to apply the brakes repeatedly and effectively up to the tires'...-

Stangra replied to the thread S197 3V (Another) Vorschlag camber plate question.if the strut nuts are backed off there's play between the camber plate and chassis. The camber is free to change too. Jack one side, lift you wheel firmly and watch everything moving!And don't rely on the camber scale on the plates for...

Stangra replied to the thread Electrical issue driving me nuts.This caught me off guard for a laugh! Sorry to hear though, and maybe this "strategy" helps?

Stangra replied to the thread Just had a mini Cylinder #8 freakout..I'm interested too. Soon I'll have the Gen 1 out of my wrecked ' 14 to transplant to my '13 project. To my knowledge it still runs fine but while it's out would be a great time to upgrade.

Stangra replied to the thread BMR 1.5inch lowering springs (SP068R).With the car lowered 1-1/2" in the rear there won't be much room for suspension travel. You'll need to cut or replace the bump stops with shorter (firmer). You might find hitting the stops to be even rougher than those P springs. And the car will...

As some of you know, I've started the Tire Guy Mafia ( https://www.tireguymafia.com/ ) to help out some of those in the sport. So I've never tried to overstate my position, because on any day you can get your butt kicked by the most unlikely...

Stangra replied to the thread Fuel starvation solutions.All good advice above. I'll just add that running E85 may exacerbate the issue a bit as fuel demand is greater. Are you running a return or returnless fuel system?

Stangra replied to the thread '05-'09 fiberglass vs carbon fiber Tiger Racing hoods?.There is a barely perceptible weave when catching the light just right, I didn't even notice it at first glance. Since I'll be priming/painting it anyway I don't think it'll take much to hit it with a coat of primer/filler and block it smooth...

Stangra replied to the thread '05-'09 fiberglass vs carbon fiber Tiger Racing hoods?.BTW The gelcoated carbon hood is clear carbon on the underside except around the edges... Love the look!

Stangra replied to the thread '05-'09 fiberglass vs carbon fiber Tiger Racing hoods?.14 lbs. vs 22 lbs for a 2014 hood. I think the carbon might be a little stronger though, and even at that mine flexes a bit. Haven't road tested yet to see how well it holds shape, but others here may have experience and more info.

Stangra replied to the thread Plastic chassis front end.I'm guessing that part is made of polypropylene, similar S197 parts are. Polypropylene can be difficult to bond but with a quick search I found this stuff which sounds like it might do the trick. If you go this route don't just glue the fractured...

Stangra replied to the thread Very Uneven Brakepads.The leading edge of pads will wear faster than the trailing edge in a caliper with equal sized piston, that's why racing calipers often have staggered piston sizes. That much taper after a single track day suggests that your pad compound is not...

Stangra replied to the thread Bang for buck camber adjustment.You can't go wrong with the Vorshlag plates. Maybe not "bang for the buck" but highly regarded around here, definitely not "junk". To get close to 3° you may need to open the hole at the top of the strut tower too. I don't trust camber bolts so much.
