Second track day in the books - Bondurant Main

[mcbarnet007]

Fun video. I live 10 minutes from Bondurant and attended their training twice. I ran SCCA formula cars and had a lot of fun doing it.

I was watching your hands in the video trying to determine if the car was understeering. I couldn't tell. In some of the faster sweepers it looked neutral. How about body lean unloading the inside tires?

It would be great to hear how the car handled from the racer perspective.

Thanks and great to see this post!

The car is very neutral, what it does depends on where you shift the 4000 lb weight. Stock suspension there is alot of leaning. Aftermarket coilovers will fix that.

No need to cut, just take off the rotor and there are 3 bolts to remove the heatshield. It's a 5 min job.

He needs to cut. His rear shield is a complete donut, there is no opening on his shield.

^^ this. I already removed my front shields since they are not full circles. Rears are full circles and I could not get them over the hubs.

How much new brake fluid has everyone been using when doing a full change?

Oh interesting, why did Tesla have two different parts for P3D? So odd

Can you tell all the original fluid is flushed through with a litre?
I haven't been able to find a figure for the total capacity anywhere.

My guess is there was a revision or part change somewhere along the way.

*****Do NOT do the following:
One person claimed to have drained all the fluid and ended up with 500mL.

I certainly wasn't going to try and drain it then refill

Don't worry, I've worked on cars before

I think so. The only thing I can't get to is the ABS.

 

[MountainPass]

Yes, please don't empty the brake system before filling with new fluid!

 

[Dangerous Fish]

So nobody knows the actual capacity then?

What 18" rims are you running that clear the brakes? I just ordered my model 3 performance and will eventually take it to the track. I would prefer to run 18's. After sending a lot of money on tires on my camaro after every track day

Here's the full circle rear shields. Was able to use tin snips to get them off.
