Real Fiero Tech

Well, I'll be at PPIR on Saturday and Sunday.

I think you may've covered this already, but how many tracks do you have around up there? Bring it down to the states sometime. I know some people that come down from Montana for Colorado tracks. Can't be that much further...

LOL. It's a NASA event. I'm not really sure why the no SUV thing. Maybe it's just not allowed for new people for hyperdrives because I know somebody used to take an srt-10 ram out.

I should be at ppir the fourth of July weekend. You should bring it up and let me check it out.

I've read the the new GT is supposed to handle and brake really well, which I think is cooler than 10s on nitrous.

"brake dust" is always the best color for calipers. While some of it is dust, the rest is permanent. It's crazy that they used to be silver. I guess I'm using them right out there on the track. :-D We had a couple of Vs on track this past weekend and a few more owners as well. I'm just go...

New caliper color:

Indeed. They're seven pounds lighter EACH! I can feel the difference on turn in even on the street. Tomorrow will be the first true test though. I'm currently in my tent camping out at High Plains Raceway. It's a really good track and should be fun as always. There will be another V out here Sunday ...

Haven't really done much with any of my cars lately as I've had a lot of bad shit going on, but it was time for some new front rotors, so I picked these up: http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg149/UnsafeAtAnySpd/28400_574711940939_43801663_3371006.jpg The picture also shows my new front caliper col...

Can you swap the brakes for the Brembo setup? They're the same as the ones on my car and I love them.

I thought the 300C ('05) competed against the CTS ('03) originally. First V was '04 which is before the 300C and SRT8 as well.

Which cars?

Session is generally about twenty minutes. I'm not sure how to sign up for the Hyperdrive as I always just do the whole weekend, but I think you just sign up and pay there at the track. I'll check on it and the price for you. Either way, you should come up and check out the races and let me see the...

I'd be up for it. How long is a session, and how do I go about signing up? Session is generally about twenty minutes. I'm not sure how to sign up for the Hyperdrive as I always just do the whole weekend, but I think you just sign up and pay there at the track. I'll check on it and the price for you...

I'll be down at PPIR next month. You should bring this up and take it around the track. Would be badass.

I think a one session "hyperdrive" is only like twenty bucks or something.

Clean it up, throw a piece of glass on top and you have a cool table.

Should have the truck home tomorrow. I've been looking into things to increase reliability of the truck. It looks like I want to do EGR delete, switch to synthetic fluids, exhaust (to lower EGTs) and some other misc maintenance.

Edit: I guess this thread could be in the Turbo section.

I decided to go ahead on this F450. Just waiting for my financing to go through and everything and I should be able to drive it home on Tuesday. Again, it's a black '04 F450 XLT 4x4 supercab Diesel with flatbed, gooseneck hitch, power everything, manual trans and 90k miles. I've heard a lot of mixed...

Good call on the V. This is a good time to pick one up. You can either get one with warranty still left or pick up a nicely modded one for a good price. Not to mention there's some good parts coming out soon. Offset trailing arms should be available soon finally! The stock rear arms are the limiting...
