"...Not gonna go an faster in this car without taking out your wallet..."
MaxD/Maytag,
I am planning on going down to UMC on Saturday on Tres Duros weekend on Oct 6 for HPDE 1 for my first track day. Are either of you planning on going that weekend? Would be interesting to meet up.
Sorry for the Off topic posts.

I want to, but previously engaged at park city. I'm waiting for them to publish the schedule so I can see if there's any of it I can get to.
So you haven't been here before? Where are you coming from?

I'll be out two or three day that weekend. We can certainly meet up.
NASA HPDE1 is a great program, you get you own run group, an instructor all day and you will be running full track - edit. It is the QuadDuro, racing on all four configurations in two days.
PM me if you have any questions.

I have been there on a couple of track days hanging out with one of the local Porsche racing teams but have never taken my car out. I am coming from Ogden area.

i'll keep my eyes open. i'd found a beat-up set for free, but jaykay checked them out and said they were beyond repair.
at $200 for the camber plates, that's small $ for lots of camber. an easy install and you can run them until you know where you are going with the car, then sell them for what you paid for them.
fyi, i am at the point that i need a full suspension rebuild and am finding that the elephant racing products lca/trailing arm combo is actually less $ than fully built gt3 lcas and oem trailing arms purchased seperately, and provides a lot more adjustability (caster, track width; but you need to be willing to remove all compliance from your suspension). quadcammer is in the process of installing them; excited to hear back on what he thinks.

Good info.
I sent the seller of those camber plates a message, but haven't heard back yet.

I just completed an almost full rebuild of mine. Included the Elephant Racing LCA's up front and Toe links in the rear. They are of great quality, and easily adjustable by any shop. My alignment shop loved setting them up. Not to mention - fully rebuildable by the user. I'll eventually put some in the rear too but they weren't necessary to get the camber I wanted so I saved the $$$. Honestly, compliance won't suffer that much if at all, in fact - with the sealed bearings suspension action will be improved. There are still rubber bushings where the lateral links attach to the subframe.

Maytag,
I am here today. Weather turned better than expected. How did it go for you yesterday?
I was putting a new cluster in my car and an underdrive pulley and waited till I was sure I was good before registering and when I tried it was full. 🤬 🤬
I am here hanging with some GTSU guys I met last year.
Next year I guess. Now I will have all winter to do more work on the car.

So you and I will BOTH be on a spending spree over the winter, haha.
