GAR944 replied to the thread What suspension brands to look at.Safety first and foremost. Personally i hate "stock" cars on track. They were never intended to be pushed that hard and you need to know what you are doing to deal with it. You have done the first part and got a basic package that is known that... (see full post)- drunkenup replied to the thread Track Time Videos.New guy here- just took my PP2 out to Thunderbolt after a 2 year hiatus from the track. Tbolt has had a repave since I last took my 135i on 200tw and 400whp. They say the new pavement is worth 2 seconds, and that is exactly how much quicker... (see full post)
Zellion_GT replied to the thread What suspension brands to look at.Very much appreciate this perspective and info you gave me. end of day not sure how far I’ll take this build. I’d track it more if I had more time and lived closer to a track. My mindset was pay for the part that I feel like I’ll end up with long... (see full post)
Yokohama A052s were great at NCCAR. My car normally runs a full slick.. I’m new to the car and learning it so I don’t have a comparison. I noticed it was easier to get rotation while trailing than I’m accustomed to with my previous car (350R...-
my first day out with the Bridgestone Potenza RE71RS went great - broke my PB at Hallett and then topped that by a few tenths. Very impressed with them so far! Thanks for the recommendation @Bill Pemberton!

Here is MY experience with my BOSS 302.Speed related - check. 60/65 it's full song, comes on quick right around 60. Fades out around 75 and isn't noticeable by 80. My trans has always been...

I drive with them on the street as well but drive is very strong word it's mostly from/to the track or from/to Dealer of my tires shop. At that point of the life of the car I very rarely use it on the street. But yeah they are streetable pads and...-
Thanks I don't left foot brake but stopping 1800 kg ( 3968 lbs) car from 200 km/h (124 mph) takes a lot of toll especially when your brake pads are triggering ABS and spending so much more time on the brakes. My tracks are very short 1.86 miles...

Fronts almost zero modulation constant ABS activation on street tires so 16 are too aggressive for street tires. Rears also too aggressive but I was having ABS issues even with R10/R8 then I switched to R12/R8(same rears) and the ABS issues...

First, this is some really cool testing you've done here. Second, boiling SRF is impressive. Time to increase the ducting. I don't know if you left foot brake, but be careful of crossing pedals if you do (both at the same time as you transition...

You'll boil the fluid before you fade the DS2500. Keep an eye on wear. Measure the pads before and after running. If you see any negatives from high brake temp, it will be excess wear.Some cars can take those big friction numbers. Think about...

byronj replied to the thread Who Has A Suggestion For A Good Track Day Insurance Company?.I prefer open track. I have a guy I work with directly there. They do offer an annual policy. If you track enough it’s worth looking into. You’re covered on all tracks in the US and 12 in Canada. (see full post)-
Time for a quick rough and ready suspension lesson. The fundamentals of suspension basics are that the spring are for holding the car up and that sway bars are for tuning the front to rear balance. Just because they are called sway bars doesn't...

Bill Pemberton replied to the thread S197 ex daily.Good thought on a car to mod as you know this Red Wagon really well after driving her 100K.
