It's certainly not wrong in this thread!

You guys showing up Friday night at Sonoma? Thinking about talking a buddy of mine into bringing his motor coach.

Yes --- I might even roll into the area on Thursday.... then - just because I can - I might back a real car out of the rig and go up to the wine country for the day... or maybe back a hot rod out and cruise the coastal hiway... or get the track car out and buff off the wall at turn 7... Who knows with so many possibilities!

Cool, my office is about 2-3 miles from the track. If the stars all fall into place I'll bring dinner for Friday night if you guys are up for a BBQ. Thinkin Salmon. Just be sure to get me a head count.

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

Default Flowmaster Scavenger D-port

Does anyone have any insight or first hand experience with the Flowmaster D-port style crossover....... sound and performance compared to X or H pipes?

I'm currently using the H-pipe design and need to replace pipes from the collector to muffler (transverse Flowmaster dual inlet/outlet)



Thanks

The brake pedal to throttle pedal relation has been bothering me since I installed the manual trans. The distance between the two made it near impossible to heel & toe (with actual heel & toe) it required unnatural contortions and my knee would contact the shifter. I prefer heal & toeing with the left and right sides of the ball of my foot and the was impossible with the stock configuration and negotiating stops in traffic on an uphill were too exciting.

Yesterday I decided to figure out a resolution and completed it today. The test drive passed with flying colors.













The pedal is .75" closer to the drive than stock, the extension tab is 1" wide. The 3M self-adhesive non-slip surface on the pedal face is rubberize (not mineral coated) and gives just enough grip to keep the right side of my foot properly positioned on the pedal.
