After an entire summer of problems I finally took charge and fixed my supercharger myself. The result? Personal best lap time first time out at yesterday's time attack by a full .7 seconds! And made it into the overall top-5 shootout.
Track mode!
Back-and-forth from the track mode :)

Nice. I like that it's not all trackmode all the time. Also "I finally took charge..." <— I see what you did there.

It's called Autodrome St-Eustache in Montreal, Canada. It's one of the closest of the 6 tracks we have within a 5 hour radius.

You have no idea how many problems there were...made for a pretty frustrating summer of sub-stock power and overheating issues.

I was participating in RWD Street Class and so they are my Hankook R-S3s. Amazing tires. I also have tires for Mod Class which are Nitto NT01s.
The R-S3s are on a 10" wide Enkei NT03 mags and are 265/35/18 whereas the NT01s are on TR Motorsports MT1s in 275/35/18. I haven't experimented with Hooseirs yet. Mostly because a large number of the track incidents happen to people on Hoosiers. ;) I'm sure next year I'll have a set though.
The wheel is actually a suede racing wheel from OMP.

Thanks! Before the fixes it was putting out 435 hp and 300 lbs-ft at the wheels but couldn't keep the power going due to the heat.
I'm heading back to the dyno to see how things have changed although I had power and no cooling issues during the entire time attack.

That sucks. I had alternator and starting issues all summer, and those aren't resolved yet...

Do I spy CSL door panels?

You actually spy missing door panels. ;)
The heaviest part of the door panel was the bottom section, and I really preferred having something I could lean my arm on to and from the track. I decided to cut the door panel along the top curvature to get the best of both worlds.

Thanks! Sadly the season is ending and all I'll have is Gran Turismo for 6 months.
I'm seriously thinking of getting into iRacing though...
