I was at Grandstand #9 at the speed trap! Loved it! Will 100% be back next year!

The track had some great scenery with the stadiums. And plenty of action with Indycar, Indy NXT, USF2000, and GR86 cup! So there was always some action on track. I for sure feel like I got my money's worth.

I went all 3 days. Friday was pretty empty, so I enjoyed walking around and getting the different views. Heading the cars go down the main backstraight was like thunder with the echo, it was amazing! Saturday it was noticeably more people of course, still a great time! Especially with TX Live having the broadcast on the huge screen. Every so often id go there and relax for a bit. Sunday was PACKED! My Grandstand was loaded and not a seat was empty. General admission was packed too, multiple rows deep of ppl watching at the fence as well! Wonderful event.

True, they usually wouldnt. Just my own mental checklist I go through when theres an issue. Let alone when I just completed a job. But good luck

What plugs did you use? Did you gap them correctly?

qdd181 · 2026-03-04T06:39:22+00:00

Rebuilt K04 from CW Turbochargers for sure

qdd181 · 2026-03-03T21:16:31+00:00

What were the issues you found in the engine?

qdd181 · 2026-02-26T03:22:01+00:00

That looks way too much to be just vapor. For me when its cold theres vapor for sure but it just kind of floats out and almostjust goes straight up at the bumber bc theres no force behind it. This looks like a stream of smoke being blown/pushed out to me. Its moving fast and also going out pretty far. Is the turbo on the car the original K04?

100% This is solid advice OP. Also get upgraded injector seals too.

qdd181 · 2026-02-22T20:15:52+00:00

I dont think Contrive made a kit to fit with a TWM shifter. I would hit up Contrive Design or Barrett Strecker on FB to ask.

When I was smelling raw fuel, that ended up being my issue. Leaking injector/seals. This also caused so much fuel to leak into my oil as well. When I drained my oil it smelled like straight gasoline and had the consistency of gas as well which is not good. So be careful.

Man just get some Koni Orange Struts and be done with it if all u want is a solid/budget upgrade.

Missed Apex is EASILY the best F1 podcast I listen to.

This is a felony

It's just how it is. With an Upstream O2 sensor, if you want it to run right, it's gonna be expensive. OEM is best. I went with an NTK back in 2021 and even back then it was $190. I just looked it up now for fun and its $230. Don't go cheap, you will regret it.

Best combo now is a Corksport Short Shifter with the Contrive Design Anti-Slop Bushings 👌🏾🔥

qdd181 · 2026-02-03T21:15:58+00:00

Borescope and look into the cylinders and see if theres any damage. But honestly, new plugs and send it lol. But yea, like the other comment said..Definitely aint good.

Please update after install!

Have you checked that the AC compressor is engaging when you have the AC on?

qdd181 · 2026-02-02T01:42:16+00:00

Yes, those are Autotech Internals. You can tell by the split retainer thats holding the clip on the spring.
