2025 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 in for a more track-focused setup after a weekend of hard use.

Upgrades included Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, Vorshlag camber plates, titanium brake pad shields, fresh caliper dust boots, Castrol SRF brake fluid, and a four-wheel alignment. We also rebalanced all four wheels with high-temp weights and track tape after the original weights came loose on track.

2015 Volkswagen GTI SE in for a clutch issue after the pedal became noticeably harder to operate and shifting in and out of gear became difficult. Inspection led to removal of the transmission and replacement of the clutch disc, pressure plate, dual-mass flywheel, release bearing/slave cylinder and rear main seal, along with new related hardware.

While everything was apart, we also replaced a leaking upper radiator hose and serviced the manual transmission fluid. Taking care of the additional items while access was already available helps avoid duplicating labor down the road.

Wheel Wednesday. Chevrolet Corvette C8 ZR1 on Vossen Wheels Forged LC3-01 Carbon wheels.

The carbon construction and intricate forged center are right at home on the ZR1, complementing the extensive carbon aero while letting those massive red brakes show through. One seriously good-looking wheel setup for the new ZR1.
