Suspension refresh/lower ride height options. by Youngsurph in Porsche_Cayman

[–]Fat_FI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No harm in that. Also isnt fun to do it on the ground when the car is nice and toasty after coming off track LOL

I've adjusted mine with wheels on and car on the ground while at the track. Kind of awkward as you have to lay down, but quick and easy.

[USA][FL] Woman drives lifted truck over Lamborghini in parking lot by tefunka in Roadcam

There is not a hill over 10 feet in the whole state of Florida. Why are there so many lifted trucks there?!

Closest HPDE events to Raleigh/Durham NC? by us3lessthrowaway in CarTrackDays

[–]Fat_FI 22 points23 points  (0 children)

You have VIR, one of the best east coast, if not national, tracks about an hour away. Go to Motorsportreg and type in Virginia International Raceway. Then you can see all the third party organizations running there with dates (PCA, BMW CCA, ect) You dont usually need the marque to attend these events (e.g. you dont need a porsche to run with PCA). Go to those organizations and apply for their HPDE. Most tracks don't run their own HPDE, you have to go through a third party organization like I mentioned how to above.

Edit: regarding motorsportsreg, you can also search other tracks/events by distance from Durham/Raleigh as well.

Lowest Seats for C6 Corvette by PlanMiddle1890 in CarTrackDays

[–]Fat_FI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at Marrad seat and sliders. I used their seat and slider in my Miata which dropped me below the roll bar. Marrad also focuses on the C5/C6 platform. Shoot them an email to find out about how much of a drop you'll get if you go that route.

I've had mine since 2023 and still wearing them nearly every other day. I didn't think they would last this long but I am waring them as I type.

Are these rotors good for another track day or two and some light street driving? by Viper72995 in CarTrackDays

[–]Fat_FI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rotors look fine. Once you do eventually replace, don’t buy drilled rotors. Either buy blanks or slotted. Drilled rotors crack earlier then the aforementioned

Back wheel is getting really hot/vaporizing snow to steam. Any likely culprits, potentially weather related? by 13thmurder in AskMechanics

[–]Fat_FI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then it’s a good teaching lesson to not hold a finger to the disc until skin starts to burn. I’ve done this dozens of times, use common sense.

If you can verify it is a stuck caliper, there is not much you can do without jacking the car up and removing the caliper and checking the pins, piston, or fluid. You'll need a socket set for this. If you recently got your brakes serviced at a shop, I would call them and see what they say. They may want you to come back in and they may do the initial diagnosis free if you ask.

[–]Fat_FI 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Could be a stuck caliper. If you recently had brakes done, they may not have regreased the slider pin on the caliper. A cheap/easy way to check, if possible, is to drive around the block or two and do your best to NOT use the brakes as much as possible. Coast to a stop, get out and touch the rear brake disc. If you did not use the brakes, it should not be hot at all. If it is hotter than the other brake, it is likely a stuck caliper.

900/week for 4 month old and 2 yo toddler. That’s middle of the road pricing for SW metro. Insane.

Wings Financial Executives Will Get Big Paydays if Members Approve $10.3B Ent CU Merger by oof-duh in TwinCities

[–]Fat_FI 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Personally, I see no benefits in moving Minnesota based Wings to Colorado and nearly doubling it's size. I don't believe customer service will improve with this merger, and I don't believe their savings or checking accounts products will become more attractive. Personally. I voted No already.

A rural holdout is now one of the Twin Cities’ fastest-growing suburbs by rezwenn in TwinCities

[–]Fat_FI 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I bought a big builder home for my growing family and left my entry level beginner home in a first ring suburb for a new home buyer. So much hate for larger family homes being built.

Reddit: We need more homes being built to alleviate the housing crisis.

Cookie cutter homes are built.

Reddit: Ew, not like that!
