  1. S10 Caltracs Tuning

    Are you lowered on blocks?

     

    And your tire pressure seems low most the time you want between 16-19 in a radial

     

    I'd try Dans advice on tire pressure. Personally I've seen people not hook on 16-17psi and actually bump it to 19-21psi, which made the tire work.

  7. Zenos E10

    Tired of seeing all the coolest track toys just beyond your reach, across the pond in the UK and Europe? Well we've got good news for you, because as promised, Zenos is coming to America.

     

    For those unfamiliar, Zenos Cars is the outfit started by former Caterham boss Ansar Ali and his engineering partner Mark Edwards. After working at Lotus together and leaving Caterham, Ali and Edwards (which sounds to us more like a boxing match than an engineering duo) struck out on their own and have been developing a line of lightweight sports cars.

     

    The E10 is the first of them, and was unveiled a few months ago at the Autosport International show in Birmingham (England, not Alabama – or any of the other US states that have a town by that name). It's built around an innovative carbon and aluminum backbone and packs a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine from Ford with 200 horsepower on tap that, thanks to its low 1,430-pound curb weight, is enough to send it to 60 in 4.5 seconds.

     

    The startup has now set up Zenos Cars USA and will begin delivering the E10 to American customers next year. Pricing will start at $39,500 (*plus destination and taxes), with the Launch Edition encompassing many of the options for $43,750. That, for reference, puts the Zenos E10 at about the same level as the entry-level Caterham Seven 280 (which starts at $40,900), but significantly less than even the cheapest Radical (the SR4 Clubsport that starts at $65k).

  12. Can anyone drill rotors?

    Just call around to different machine shops. I'm sure one of them would be able to do it fairly quickly for you.

     

    I would seriously advise against this.

     

    Here is a quick sum up given by EBC Brakes as to why it’s bad. http://ebcbrakes.com/articles/dangerous-cross-drilled-rotors/

     

    Here is a long winded explanation but has some really good info. http://automotivethinker.com/brakes-2/rotors-blank-vs-cross-drilled-vs-slotted-and-warping/

     

    You will do what you will but I least wanted to put this information out there.

     

    I might be wrong, but I believe Draco wants the lug pattern drilled.

  14. Dragway 42 going to the next level

    I dont see how there plan for the strip goes straight through a road. Or am i reading the map wrong? It looks like right in front of there 70' burnout box is West Salem road... Im confused by that.

     

    That's not a road. On the other side of 42 it is, but on that side it's just a wooded area.
