Because the fluid temperatures may
be higher, it is necessary to change
the rear axle fluid every 24 hours of
track events or competitive driving.
See
Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 11-12
for what
fluid to use.
{
Caution
During a first time track or racing
event, high rear axle
temperatures can occur. Damage
could be caused to the rear axle
and would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty.
Do not drive as long or as fast the
first time the vehicle is driven on
the track or raced.
If reduced performance is
experienced during track events or
competitive driving, turning off the
A/C will help to improve engine
performance.
Maintain a mixture of 40%
DEX-COOL coolant and 60% clean,
drinkable water to optimize engine
performance.
The front license bracket or aero
panel should be removed for track
events and competitive driving to
improve engine performance.
Rotor Cooling Ring
{
Caution
Do not leave rotor cooling rings
installed after a track event, as
this can cause corrosion with
long-term use. Rotor cooling rings
are for race track use only. Race
track driving without the rotor
cooling rings may result in brake
pedal fade.
Installation:
1. Remove the front wheels.
2. Remove the caliper from the
knuckle.
3. Remove the brake rotors.
4. Cut three 150 mm (6 in) lengths
of safety wire specified to T304
Stainless Steel, 0.041 in nominal
diameter, not included.
5. Form each into a U shape with a
20 mm (0.75 in) flat area in the
center of the wire.
6. Place the rotor ring in the gap
between the rotor brake plate
and rotor hat, with the holes on
each side of the rotor spoke on
the outboard side of the rotor.
