You might have some built up dust in the

window runners. The best solution is

to take the door apart and add some Vaseline to the runners.

Paul

The spare does fit in the front trunk. It may not

fit in an all wheel drive car.

Paul

Part 1 is the filter and it looks from this picture

that you can get to it.

Paul

It fits but looks funny.

Shifting is all about speed. At the race track you change to the next gear as

close as you can get to the red-line. How far away is "Watkin Glens" Race tack

from you?

Paul

High speed driving above 150 mph is dangerous. I have

been up to 155 mph and the front end was light and

there were small gusts of wind.

I think a 50 lb bag of concrete in the front trunk would help alot.

Paul

The S is a not expensive part. It just glues to

the trunk.

It is esay to pry off with a hand.

Paul

That is pretty interesting that the diodes wear out.

Ever try changing the diodes with a soldering iron.

I still for the time saving buy a new re-built alternator.

Paul

No problem. Happy to help.

I tried playing with the dog bones at the track. This

track had more left turns then right so I made the inside

(driver's side) dog bone length, 1/2 inch less in length.

This made no difference in track time or road turning over

a short time. Information I learned while driving

the track.

Paul

I have a friend who blew out his PASM by lowering it only and adding a LSD..

Good luck to you. It is an easy check to see if one is blown. You

just walk around the car and push down on it. You will notice

how spring-ie it is, even with the car turned off.

Paul

The yellows make noise like a school buss. They brake

great but wear out fast.

The blues work great and work for a couple DE's.

Paul

Spend one hour applying the dry ice off and on.

Paul

Your volts look good so I would try looking at

other areas then the alternator. Maybe

new alternator cables?

Paul

Looks like everything is going out over time.

Paul

The dog bone components looks like well

built drop down links.

For track I would add a rear sway bar. Good for

5 seconds.

Paul

This is the same problem I had. I replaced the micro switch

but it did not fix the window problem.

It is a little more work but I would replace the door handle

part. I have a DIY on this part. It is a part that does

wear out with use.

Paul

Here is my car on Infineon (Sears Point) raceway

going thru turn 7. You enter at high speed, brake hard,

make a hard right hand 180 degree turn, and accelerate

hard leaving the turn.

Note in the picture that you can see light under the right front tire.

This tire was higher in the air before I installed a bigger rear

stabilizer bar. The bigger bar made the car act more like

a slot car.

Paul

The goal on the track is to have the same temperature across

the entire tire.

You will let out 2 psi air at the track to get this right. After one lap the tires are up

to temperature and then you verify the tempertures the minute you come off the

track.

I never put nitrogen in the tires but I heared that you want to purge the tire first before you add

the nitrogen.

Paul

Here is the number.

1-800-346-0182

Paul

I had my car aligned for track use. They put very

small shims in the bottom rear a-arms. This stopped the

car pushing when entering a high speed turn.

The point is the rear insides still wear out even if I did not

do anything with the alignment.

I guess you could call it weight shift engineering. The only solution

would be a straight axle, but then the car would drive like a truck.

Paul

Looks good!!!

Paul

It's nice to find a repair shop that knows what there doing.

Paul

It takes a little bit of time to get the alternator off but,

it takes a lot of time to put it back on the motor.

It is in a real tight area.

Paul

I ordered a new one yesterday. Cost over

$141.00 dollars. Lets hope that is all I need.

Retails for $209.
