Wow olie! That truly is a POS. Congrats for keeping it running during the whole race.

 

I think it's being kept in Rockville right? I saw it in my friend's parking lot!! apparently that apt complex has 3 lemons cars in it..

 

 

Unfortunately, she is still on all fours.




All SS lines installed but all rotor screws seized! now I have to drill all of them out.

 

Don't worry, easy job as it only takes 30 seconds to drill them out.


I always had to hit them with an impact gun, that breaks them free.

 

anyone going to VIR with NASA next wknd?

 

Impact driver and some liquid wrench type of stuff will bust them loose, but drilling may be faster. I had more trouble getting the originals loose from the hub, than getting the screws out.

 

The brake disk screws are very soft and easy to drill out. I always put a little anti-seize paste on the face of the screw--that's the part that binds, but even with that occasionally I'll have to use an impact screwdriver.

Long day at the track today. Keith was there working the grid. It was freakin' hot in the car. I'm happy it's going to be cooler tomorrow. The other comp school students are doing a good job of not scaring the crap out of me. Tomorrow is more of the same along with some passing drills and a mock race. I'm tired.

 

Brake question: Once Ron gets those drilled out. Does he need to replace the screws or can he leave them off? Seems like a not so great place to put a screw.
