Fresh off the race track after lapping Reno-Fernley Raceway in 104* weather, the COBB heat shield was 285*, intercooler was 183*, and I was using the intercooler spray a lot. I need to wire in a steering wheel switch for the i/c sprayer so I don't have to take my hand off the steering wheel while doing 120 mph down the straights.

I don't know. But the turbo is way hotter than what I measured and its right under all of this stuff.

Slicks and a long banked turn with soft springs.

I will be upgrading to stiffer springs soon.

DAmn! What are you gunna do with the current ones?

It's like a 3" diameter spring. The strut is 2" alone. I don't think anyone could really use them. I think most coilovers use a 2.5" spring. They'll most likely go into the pile, incase I want to run a softer spring for wet track days. Don't know yet really.

Installed ARP wheel studs and removed the rear dust shields.
