That is similar to what I was thinking. I have seen racers with other types of cars use titanium shims to insulate between the pads and the rotors. Machining a set of shims would be a straight forwa...

Great news! So are the pistons the same diameter in the calipers used for carbon and steel rotors? Would it be better to make a shim than to use a thicker pad? It seems like using a thicker pad wou...

I am trying to get pictures of Clubsport and Prosport chassis number plates. The interesting thing about the Clubsport and early Prosport Chassis number plate is that they include the manufacture dat...

I'm sure you can find a way to make it fit 🙂 . I found it convenient to leave the car in the trailer between races and I just put it in the garage when I am working on it. I put two large vents in t...

Sorry to hear about that. It is amazing how hard the guys at Spring Mountain work to get cars back on track. The can really work some magic. I have been surprised on cold tires also. One cold morn...

Ouch... that was an expensive off. What happened? Why are you going with a black side pod? Will it take too long to get a blue one? Charley
