The next part of my off-season build is a replacement full-size radiator & fan. I haven’t actually had any issues with the OEM radiator or fan, and while it’s seen better days it has been holding up fine – only allowing temps to creep up once, on an extremely hot day while autoxing, and even…
Just a small update – new air filter ordered for the Evo (Amsoil EAAU4560-EA). The old one was looking quite worse for the wear and checking my logs, has been trucking on for 3 1/2 years – well past its prime. The availability of the EAAU4560 seems spotty, so I ordered 2, which should last…
Another solid UOA result for the Evo. This car was driven HARD over this period of time, with a lot of track days. The Evo is going to start seeing much, much less mileage on the clock as I now have a tow car, so the UOA analyses will likely stop as well. Overall really…
Last track event of 2020! Cannot believe what a year it’s been with all the covid-19 cases, uncertainty going on, event cancellations, and work from home since March, likely extending until at least next March. We decided to wrap it up with one last event at Gingerman Raceway for Grid Life’s Midwest Festival. With the…
Really fun first time out at Gingerman Raceway in South Haven, MI. Located in a really beautiful area, this is probably one of the most open tracks I have experienced with lots of run off room – total opposite of Road America. Gingerman also feels unique in that there are a lot of long duration…
Getting a lot of seat time here in quick succession – last weekend at Road America already feels like an eternity ago. With my last timed event of the year being GLTA’s Midwest Festival at Gingerman, I decided I wanted to get a little more seat time prior to the event so that I could…
Proud to announce Falken Tires as my newest sponsor for the Time Attack Evo. They have been very openly sponsoring drivers in the Grid Life Time Attack events, and were generous enough to give me a shot as well with a set of RT660s. I have driven Falkens once before – the predecessor to this…
Road America is an unbelievable track. Stretching just over 4 miles, it is the largest track I’ve ever been to, and maybe one of the largest in the US. While Autobahn feels more like a country club that happens to have a racetrack, the entire facility at Road America is built with the racetrack integrated…
This is a how-to for the 2008-2020 (Gen 2) Toyota Sequoia’s air filter change. You gotta love Toyota’s design simplicity here, no tools required. Items/Tools Required: Air filter (I chose this)
This is a how-to for the 2008-2020 (Gen 2) Toyota Sequoia’s rear differential fluid change. This is probably the easiest maintenance you can do on the Sequoia – might not even need the car lifted, but I had mine up anyway. Items/Tools Required: 3T + jack & stands or ramps 10mm hex head & 22mm…
