I've got a set of wagon wheels in good shape that I got years ago to use as track rims - never ended up using them. They've got year 2000 tire pressure sensors in them that should be in good shape,...

I had the same when I installed mine way back when, I used double-sided tape in the opening and pushed it back together, held for until I removed it.

Re: A4 transmission cooler size. (AZC5)

Mine was roughly half the size of yours, but is installed between AC condenser and radiator, not in front of both. Temps around town are 200-210 coolant/oil, and 190-200 tranny.

Re: Corvettes Against Cancer - Hoods Up or Down? (Perfusion)

There's really no preference - if you have something under the hood to show (non stock) then by all means hood up! We did the cruise with top off, that's entirely up to you, the goal is for you to...

I've never heard of a Gilbert informal show - when I'm back in town I'll definitely check it out, great news! Thanks for the heads-up.

Re: [Arizona] A.C.E. learns to turn left and right at Firebird raceway. (vettetax)

Did you look at the race cars at the track in looking for rotors? The street cars run drilled/slotted for looks. Under hard track use they will crack.

Re: [Arizona] A.C.E. learns to turn left and right at Firebird raceway. (71'AirStrike)

Glad you guys all had fun, it's a blast, isn't it?

Chad, avoid slotted or drilled rotors and run plain ones only, and add Ford Dot3 brake fluid to the list.

If you're referring to Raybestos QS pads, they'll fade rather quickly on the track. It'd be worth switching to the Raybestos Brutestop pads for the event - they don't fade as quick, certainly dust...
