    Oil Temp Sensor - Brass sensor, Mild steel bolt - corrosion?

    Well, everything is installed and I've done my first track day. I am getting data from the sensor. It has been driven and tracked in washout conditions. It's had oil poured on it and it's still reliably connecting via bluetooth. That's pretty cool. I'm not sure what to do with the data that I'm...

    Oil Temp Sensor - Brass sensor, Mild steel bolt - corrosion?

    So I ended up going a path that I have not seen traveled previously. I have a S2000 that I'm tracking but I also autocross and drive on the street.

    Topped up Engine with Gear Oil! - Problem?

    I've got an 06 S2000. After thinking I was done with autocrossing for the year, I signed up for one last event. I had already put my stuff away and had to throw together my box of crap in the morning. Unfortunately, I grabbed the Gear Oil instead of the Engine Oil. Darn Ams-Oil putting both in...
