this is good air! If I wasn't going to be in NJ visiting family that week, I'd road trip down with Rhino.

Do not let ANYONE, EVER, tell you Road America is not hard on brakes.

This is what is left of one of my front rotors. DBA 4000's that I have had for two years so I did get my money's worth. Great rotors that I can highly recommend for street/track.

Now that the car is sitting in the garage both front pots are leaking brake fluid so I need to investigate that but haven't had the time or health to do it.

Jaime, I read through your thread and give you MAJOR props for your attitude. Most folks would run for the hills but not you, you are choosing to still ride that horse. It is unfortunate that you had to find out the hard way the limits of your old builder but it sounds like you have found Matt who will take good care of you.

To the rest of you.....I have been scarce on here because of my migraines but have been reading everything. I just been in too much pain to post. So, this is for y'all....

litle88 · 10-23-2013, 03:54 PM

Thanks for the invite fauker! I want my damn shirt! I could of gotten it at autobahn! And cheered for you or let you annoy me. Whatever man........

TBone · 10-23-2013, 04:34 PM

Sorry man. It was a mad thrash once I go home from RA to get the cracked rotors off, find the stock rotors in the attic, get them on, get the new pads on, bed the pads and rotors, repack the car and then get some sleep to be down at AB for the drivers meeting.

If would have been cool to have you down there though. Watching me blast past the Mustangs, Vettes and Porsches. I got a ride in a GT3 that was INCREDIBLE!! That car can be put anywhere on the track the driver wants.

I have some video, I think, that I will try and get up. Nothing from RA though.

That looks vaguely familiar.

Ours have sliding doors though. That one is setup for executive transport.

Did you happen to notice if it was a C++ or D? I think that's a C++. I'm thinking the engine cowling is different on the D since they went with a new PW engine designed specifically for it. We have 2 C+'s that are 10yrs old and are suppose to take delivery of our 2 new D's next year, around this time.

I'm not sure. We work with mostly business jets. Sikorsky is a rare customer for us. Really cool helicopter though.

Glad to see you back posting TBone! I'm also glad you didn't wreck when that rotor gave out! Holy shit!

Have you tried acupuncture for the migraines? It worked for my daughter!

Supercharged SS · 10-24-2013, 02:38 PM

Headed to Slowhawk performance and Don Kinder in the morning. Very curious as to what he finds when he goes through everything.

Little.... You're out of F*#king control! Love it and thanks.

grocerygetter · 10-24-2013, 02:43 PM

Slohawk has a great rep over on LS1tech. Good luck man!

Besides other tuners recommending him I did not find one negative thing on Don. That's crazy to think about with the Internet and all. I'm really excited to have him dig in and finally get the full potential out of this car.
