  1. Hey, interesting idea...

    I need a new engine in my 2002 C4 Cab, RMS failure. Anyway, my mechanic told me, since the car races a full season of DEs and Autocrosses, that I single mass, lightweight racing clutch would definitely improve performance. I was wondering what everyone thinks of this. Has anyone tried one of these? What could the drawbacks be? I would have it installed when the engine is replaced prior to next racing season.

    Any thoughts??

  2. X74 is wonderful. I think there are no issues with its use as an everyday suspension, however, it is not made for that. The car (after about a month of settling), dropped about 60 to 70mm, a lot. The lowest part of the car is now only about 2 to 2.5" above the ground, however, in 3 months of driving with the suspension, I have not bottomed out nor hit anything yet. As for performance, hahahaha, there is no comparison. It still isn't nice like a cup car, but, that would be too too much for the street. This is indeed the best compromise. The car is no longer a soft, mushy Cadillac, it is now what it is supposed to be: a race car. In terms of alignment, I am running -1° front and -2.5° back. A friend runs -2°front and -3° back and the car feels even better. Turnin is instant, the car is sticks and sticks and sticks. I love it!!!

  3. I have a 2002 C4 Cab running the X74 suspension kit and Pilot Sport Cup tires. I find a cold pressure of 28f/32r very good and balanced for the street. With the cup tires, you want to achieve about 34 to 36 hot. On the track, I have to start way down about 22/24 cold. Now, this was just to give you an idea, I don't know which tires you are running, let me know...

  4. Loren,

    What do you mean the orange top has reversed connections for the wires? I looked at the article you sent me, it doesn't look like the wires cross with the red-top, so, if I used the orange top, then the wires would cross, right?

    I think he needed a longer cable because the plate he made didn't mount the battery in the centerline of the car, but offcenter, necessitating a longer passenger side lead. Am I correct with this??

    This is very confusing...

  5. I love the pagids, definitely better then stock all around. I put on the pads this past winter, so have experiance with them in the cold (snow) and the 100 degree temps here a few days ago. THey are great. No fade at all, much better bite, and better, "crisper" feel. That is the only way I can describe the difference. In terms of noise, nothing to speak of. Every now and then, I get a little squeek, but I like it, its almost as if the car is saying hello, haha. Pagid blacks make a lot more noise, the orange are fine. If you'd like more info, just ask...

  6. Hey all!!!

    I'd like to start off by applauding Loren for the terrific new technical site!!! NICE!!!

    My first post:

    How often should I bleed the brake system? I am running stock calipers and rotors, but, ATE Super Blue Fluid and Pagid Orange Pads. I hit all the DE sessions (about 12 days per year) and all the AutoCrosses (about 10). The car is also a semi-everyday car, I put about 15,000 miles on a year. How often should I bleed the system? Can I do this at home without a lift? Loren, what are your thoughts?

    Great site!! :D :D :eek: :cheers: :clapping: , hahaha, cool!!
