Same here. I want to do it to a Tiger Racing hood but that is money right there and I wouldn't want to mess it up.

My Blowfish brake duct cooling kit was delivered :-)

Looks nice, how much was the kit?

SGwick

$189, others seem a lot more

5.M0NSTER

wow, that's a great deal!

Guys what your thoughts on shift lights? I was consciously running my gears close to 7K at Road America, so close in fact that I'd forget to shift while concentrating on the track. Looking down at my rpm gauge and navigating the track close to 7K every gear was a little difficult :-) I figured a shift light (set at 6800 or 7K) place on the A pillar (eye level) could help keep my eyes up on track. Maybe I just need a driver mod :-)

Very interested to hear how the brake kit install goes; and whether it includes all the parts for an easy install, or if you have to search out or fabricate any additional parts. Brake shields look a little crude but probably will work fine. I am planning to do the same thing sometime this summer.

About the shift light -- dmichaels has a great set-up with a bluetooth OBD port transmitter, i-Phone, Harry's track timer? app, and phone mounted on windshield when driving . . . this captures the track video, captures the data coming from the OBD port such as RPM and gear, and also has the ability to display the gear and flash red for shift light at designated RPM. Pretty sweet set-up and the total cost is probably similar to what you would pay for a shift light alone, assuming you already have the i-phone.

SGwick

Thx Bert, I'll definitely share my thoughts after the brake duct install. And thanks for suggesting dmichaels :-)


@dmichaels could you please list the specific OBD you use for the rpm shifting. I have Harrys track timer already.


Thanks guys

Very cool! I think one of the nicest things to look at was when I got the new brake duct hosing installed and that nice orange up front. That looked very cool!

I think the Aeroforce Interceptor has a shift light in. All you do is just plug it into your OBDII sensor and it will read all sorts of **** for you as well.

SGwick

I looked at the aeroforce but at $250 it's out of my lane :-) Looking at the raptor light but not sure about wiring.

The mod that took care of that for me was my GT500 exhaust. I shift by sound. It just took a while for my ear to recognize ~6000 vs ~7000 rpm.

Bert

I'm pretty sure he posted the details already in another thread; maybe one of the ones with his track video, I think it might have been Palmer, Mass. IIRC

SGwick

It's ok, I settled on a plug'n'play version. We'll see how it goes :-) Thx fellas

Just installed the Steeda Clutch spring (95lbs for 2011) and out for a drive. Pedal force is definitely linear compared to standard spring. Shifting is easier but not sure if placebo right now :-) For $9 purchase it was worth it. Recommend switching them out :-)

And also dmichaels, if you're taking video with your phone, how are you mounting it? I tried a Galaxy S4 with the RAM mount X Grip and the shaking was unbearable.

dmichaels

I'll have to get on Amazon and look at which one I have forget the name

To the question about OBDII - I use the GoPoint BT1

dmichaels

Better than spring delete?

Bert

Hmmmm . . . pretty sure that is the same one I am using with i-phone and it works fine . . . video is not perfect pro quality, but very watchable with no major shaking that I have noticed

I don't know, I never drove without the spring

dmichaels

This is the mount I use:

I have two and they work great
