    📓 Journals kitkat's Emira

    I have tracked a v6 auto, didn't go into limp mode, temps were in the 70-80's, didn't do really long sessions but it's road Atlanta and its looooong back straight. I also had a bad bank 2 02 sensor as soon as I drove off the lot. :( Changed it before track day.

    I bought the reusable stickers from clubregistration (you're right, magnetic won't work), and they worked well and removed easily enough. I don't think they'll be an issue using them a few more times.

    Emira track impressions

    Braking zones which require non-maximal braking are the issue, ones where a longer/gentler brake is better for weight transfer and lap times. Not a tire issue, it's the same through the session, and since this was open pits it was easy to go in, lower pressure, and head right back out. Caymans...

    Emira track impressions

    Yeah, the previous discussion of pads is what made me try the PFCs, which I got from Discoveryparts. I picked the 08's based on their lower Mu. Thinking about it more, maybe I should describe it as non-linearity in behavior during depress. I try to apply the brakes to what I think is the right...

    Open Track day at Road Atlanta with Jzilla May 18

    I plan to attend Jzilla's open track day Sunday May 18. Anyone else? I highly recommend open track days for anyone who's an experienced intermediate 1 or above, even though it costs a lot more. The freedom to come and go as needed and lower car count makes for a much less stressful day and more...

    To the owner of the Red I4, Don't know if you're on here, but I saw your car at Knox Details, and I might have seen it on Foothills today leading a few other cars. I was on my bike so I couldn't really catch up to say hi. Reach out if you're on here! Gwman -- 2024 Seneca Blue V6FE

    Brake pad swap DIY ( track pads )

    Thanks for the video. The design of the retention pin is way more annoying than the Brembo's was on my Cayman. I tried my own homegrown solution to hammer it in there before finally resorting to your video and your pliers+drill bit worked like a charm. I even had to buy a smaller ball peen...

    Recommendation Windshield Protection

    I just had my windshield replaced on a different car and the amount of damage they did to the surrounding interior trim had me pretty upset. The dealer, who is excellent, offered to replace the trim, but it won't ever look as good or fit as well as the original. So far I have no issues with the...

    I don't recommend the modern Speedcats, the sole is too thick. My preferred right now is a pair of Onitsuka Tigers with a very thin sole.

    Flat battery in less than 2 weeks

    Crestima, What size Antigravity did you get? Their site recommends a T6 but the owners manual size parameters match an H6. I have an H6 already and wondering if it will fit.

    Hi All, I picked up this Seneca Blue automatic (!) from Motorcars of Atlanta a few days ago. I'm coming from a 987.2 Cayman S 6 speed and got tired of all Porsches looking the same and dealing with a stick in traffic. My big question was how would the automatic perform, but I was able to try...

    Recommendation Windshield Protection

    My installer just put on Exoshield (GT3 I think). It's the first one he feels is good. He's been in the business for a long time so I trust him. It's only been on for a day so I have no opinion about it yet!
