I have owned my B for 7 years now and never really had a direction to take it until 2019. I attended a holiday laps event at VIR and I found my interest. It wasn't much, but it was something I was really interested in and felt like the next hobby with a goal. A goal of driving a slow car fast and learning and improving more with each corner. I am a novice that hasn't participated in a track event yet, but I hope to soon.
As listed in the profile, here is a wall of text regarding the current build of the car:
- Engine/Trans
- CMCP delete
- FRPP Hot Rod Cams
- SLP Delete Axle Back
- Dyno’d 298/303
- Mcleod Flywheel
- Exedy Stage 2 clutch
- Stainless clutch line
- MGW shifter
- Suspension
- FRPP M Springs
- Maximum Motorsports Panhard bar (not installed yet)
- Bullitt strut tower brace (doesn’t really fit anywhere else, so it’s going here)
- Brakes
- S550 6 Piston Conversion
- 15” OEM 13/14 GT500 Rotors
- Hawk HP+ Front pads
- DBA 3000 slotted rear rotors
- Ceramic rear pads
- SRF Fluid
- Ducts partially installed (bumper completed, need to put plates on knuckle and run hoses)
I have noticed some areas I would really like to improve on some spirited driving and have some goals on that front. A better seat is a must and is on the short list.
Long list:
- tackling the cooling that it seems like these cars desperately need
- Further suspension
- A bit daunting with as much as I've read. Not too sure where to begin with a best bang for my buck approach.
Input into the build is appreciated. I am most definitely learning as I go here.
Very nice car with some good mods. For your next upgrade, I'd suggest a set of camber plates. There are several vendors to choose from - Vorshlag, Maximum Motorsports, Steeda, Ground Control - with Vorshlag seeming to be preferred by most here. The other thing to consider is brake pads that are more heat-tolerant for track sessions. Good luck and welcome!
