[QUOTE="GCubersoldat, post: 16645148, member: 127222"] After 5 years, 2 months, and 17 days.......the time came. First track day was last weekend at Homestead Miami Speedway! First session was great, was starting out slow to get a feel for the car and see how it reacted. Fuel pressure stayed at 55 PSI thanks to all 4 bosch pumps firing away in the ATL fuel system, oil pressure nominal, and most importantly...car runs like a bat out of hell. Was pulling some serious G's in the corners and braking zones once the pads warmed up with 0 brake fade thanks to some Motul 660 RBF and Gloc R18/R12 combo. Second session was a bust. coming out of the pits i encountered some serious chugging and could not go above 3k RPM. limped it back to pits and encountered fuel contamination from aging foam inside the fuel cell. Made an emergency tear down, siphoning out the old fuel and cycling the pumps to empty the reservoirs. Emptied the foam out, cleaned the bladder and resealed with new fuel. Purged fuel lines up to the rails and voila! Third session went excellent, kept pushing the car now further and further. no oversteer, very very minimal understeer and the car feels planted down to the ground thanks to a couple of adjustments with the splitter. Going into turn 8 had a lockout from a 4-3 downshift, attempted to put back into any gear and i was completely dead in the water. waited in a run off 30 seconds or so, put the car finally back into gear and limped it off to the pits to inspect. Shifter had significant slop but it seemed that the car was shifting as it should of. Our guess is that the fluid going to the slave cylinder boiled and prevented the clutch from fully disengaging. Was remedied with bleeding the slave and wrapping the clutch line in gold foil heat shielding to prevent further instances. Fourth session was beautiful. After over 5 years, the car finally was not only on track but singing its 7500 RPM songs without interruption or flaw. Once i got into my rhythm i was cutting 1:45's consistently and i still feel the car has ALOT left in it once it is properly tuned and a fresh set of tires are put on (Toyo scrubs were being used).
