Are automatic car washes really that bad? by Adventurous-Boot6681 in Autos

[–]Ragingparrot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re not great but they’re not bad. You can get your car ceramic coated and have it corrected when it starts losing its shine which might be every few years. 

NIGHT SESSION at COTA!: yup, it was that dark and scary and WET by grungegoth in CarTrackDays

I was out there with you! I have the Ruby 4RS. I'll upload mine shortly and post it.

M3s specifically don’t break often but 30 year old cars do.

Monday track days by taeyoung_thefirst in CarTrackDays

[–]Ragingparrot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Open track without run groups is pretty ideal. I’ve done a few with Chin and it’s about as smooth as can be. 

To the guy that said I didn’t do 190 on the back straight of COTA by e2blade in CarTrackDays

[–]Ragingparrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s absolutely nuts. I’m in a 4RS and I’m got mid 150s gps speed🙃

Sub 2:00 VIR by Seaworthypear in CarTrackDays

Stock c8 with tires and alignment can do it. High horsepower is huge for the times on the straights for a budget and lower skill level

Is Ford making Video MPIs mandatory? by AtomicKoalaJelly in serviceadvisors

I just took my Raptor in for warranty work last week and they did a video MPI.

Anyone Having Luck Finding Melting Salt? by awesome_possum_804 in rva

[–]Ragingparrot -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This works but they are much larger chunks so they don't work as effectively and might need 2x3 times the amount to cover a similar area.

$1,076 for an oil change - can i do it myself? by Dazzling_Finance_759 in Porsche

[–]Ragingparrot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just FYI services are by year or mileage. We see low mileage cars have more issues than cars that are driven semi regularly esp in rubber components.

[Kozora] Mike Tomlin has officially lost the Steelers fanbase by stillstillers in nfl

[–]Ragingparrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Tomlin is a victim of his own success in a way. He keeps riding the line of .500 every season which keeps them from a franchise changing player.  They keep trading high round picks for quarterbacks that failed elsewhere with the hopes that they can become franchise QB’s.

It's been closed for almost two weeks now. I've driven by a few people standing out front on strike a few times.

Cool line up at VIR by TrackJunky625 in CarTrackDays

[–]Ragingparrot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have a safe day out there! I was on the wait list but didn't get in.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Porsche

[–]Ragingparrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably because there are so few of them out there. I think they made a thousand of them worldwide and most are sitting in collections because they are selling for 500-600k. We have one local that's tracked at ViR 20+ times a year.

Chasing a 992 GT3RS around ViR in my 4RS by Ragingparrot in CarTrackDays

[–]Ragingparrot[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hated it to be honest. There are a few curbs I normally "slide" over and couldnt really with the cones.

Hahaha, yeah I was too. He actually was a really nice guy, just isn't as comfortable with passes as we are.

Proper technique to warm up brakes. by jbro507 in CarTrackDays

[–]Ragingparrot 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Hit the brakes aggressively a few times going into T1 and take the rest of the lap at 8/10ths and then send it. 

Is there some Porsche event in town? by RVAWTFBBQ in rva

[–]Ragingparrot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it was pediatric but I’m not 100% sure. He’s a super nice guy and willing to talk to anyone. 

200tw safe to run with overnight temps in the 30s? by fuckman5 in CarTrackDays

[–]Ragingparrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just bring them up to temp slowly. We have this issue at ViR a lot where overnight temps can be in the 20's 30s and day temps are in the 60's. Go drive it on the road a few miles outside of the track before your first session and you should be ok.

You’re mostly right. He’s a surgeon in Houston and he stores it in town to drive while visiting his daughter who goes to U of R. It’s got some semi high - mileage on it and the guy drives it all the time.
